Stories from the Epicenter

This bonus episode, produced for the twentieth anniversary of the earthquake by then UCSC instructor Sarah Yahm and some of her students, is conceived as an audio walking tour of Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz meant to immerse you in the downtown as it was in the days leading up to and just after the Loma Prieta Earthquake.

The collection of interviews that Nikki Silva did back in 1989—several of which feature in episodes 1 and 2—includes an interview with landscape architect Roy Rydell who was one of the designers of the Pacific Garden Mall. This bonus clip features that interview. The clip is introduced by Nikki Silva, and originally aired on KSQD on The Kitchen Sisters show as a coda to episode 1 of this podcast, Pacific Garden Mall.

Stories from the Epicenter is a podcast about the experience and memory of the Loma Prieta Earthquake in Santa Cruz County, California.
