Check out my conversation with previous guest Lincoln Mitchell as we chat about Lincoln's new book, Three Years Our Mayor: George Moscone and the Making of Modern San Francisco.

Look for Lincoln at the following events for his new book:

• May 1: He will be in conversation at the University Club with Corey Busch, who served on Moscone's senate staff, was a senior member of Moscone's mayoral campaign staff, press secretary and chief spokesman for Mayor Moscone, and was Moscone's chief speech writer. This event will begin at 6 p.m.
