Today we’re featuring stories from podcasts that got their start right here in the Bay Area in partnership with KALW. First, it’s The Stoop featuring voices from across the black diaspora. Then, in Snap Judgment one man makes a gut decision that takes him on a mystical adventure. And, from 99% Invisible, we go to some of San Francisco’s private public spaces. Plus, a note from our news director, Ben Trefny regarding our recent story about the Dear America project.
