Welcome to Point Connect, Point Richmond's only live radio show for neighbors, by neighbors. We bring daily neighborhood news, information, and weather to the residents of Point Richmond, CA, so our neighbors can stay safe inside during the pandemic.
Our last show. Everything must end, and despite the surge, I'm returning back to the office next week. We wish a bittersweet goodbye. It was an honor, truly, to spend a pandemic with you.
It's (theoretically) the LAST mystery theme for Point Connect. Wahhhh!
I wish I was coming back to you after the Christmas break with good news. I am not.
It's Christmas Eve, so we're taking a holiday on COVID numbers and intead focusing on the cheer of the season.
It's Christmas Eve Eve, and the numbers do not look great. You may want to rethink your get-togethers.
Internet is a wonderful thing. Seriously, you never really miss it until you don't have it. We catch you up on what's going on with omicron and its march across California.
No show today, internet down. But I have a quick bit of news. Go get your home tests.
It's heeeere. This time officially. And it's not just here. It's everywhere now. Crazy numbers in the US. Now the wait begins to determine how bad it's gonna get.
Ending the week with some "not horrible" news about Omicron and tips on how to get together safely this holiday season.
Numbers are rising, and not the good ones.
The wind's a-blowin, the hills a-snowin', the hail (may be) a-fallin'. It's a wild weather day, but we're cozy with our numbers and news. And the Tyson-stumpin' Mystery Theme.
The last few hours of the vaccinated going maskless. What exactly are the requirements of the mask mandate, and not a moment too soon because... Itttt'ssss heeeeere....
Hope you didn't toss your masks, because theeeyyy're baaaaack.
Enjoy the dry streets. It's the last you'll see it for a while.
Cold enough for you? It's gonna be even colder. And wetter.
Boosters now for 16 year olds and up, and it looks like Pfizer booster *may* be necessary to fight Omicron. And we have a new restaurant in Point Richmond. We have a lot of news (two days' worth).
It's a day that will live in infamy, plus 80 years. This Mystery Theme celebrates a seminal day in history and the day that Richmond, as we know it, was made.
Welcome to a new week and new Omicron information — this time with some hopeful news.
We wrap up the week with news about Omicron in our backyard.
There are bad days and there are REAAAAALLLY bad days. This is the later.
The extent of how much Omicron is out there is only now just starting to become evident. If cards don't fall our way soon, this could be the nightmare scenario experts were afraid of.
Well, that didn't take long at all. Omicron is in the US and it was found here. We talk how it was found, who got it, and what changes are afoot because of it (spoiler: a lot).
This time without the voices in my head
Back home! And I missed you all. We have news on what's going on with Omicron, where it is now, when will it get here, and what it will probably look like, according to experts.
Live from Iceland. Yes, I finally stayed up late enought. We fill you in on Omicron.
We're locked and loaded for Thanksgiving week. And I'm leaving you with not great news.
It seems our amateur COVID whispering was off base. According to California health officials, we are (unfortunately) reading it right.
There's no mystery to this Tuesday theme, but it is a moment to haul out your earbuds (or headphones for you real purists). We also have news about COVID surging in colder climates and children being given the wrong dose of vaccine.
There's an eclipse this week. And a big one. Light on news, long on music, today.
We wrap up the week with a deeper dive into vaccination rates, which should make you feel a heck of a lot better about keeping Thanksgiving local.
Want a Moderna booster? Some people are having issues finding it. And we're through our first week of pediatric vaccines; how are we doing?
Hey! I'm back. It's been two days. I take my eyes off of COVID for a split second and California falls apart.
Man, it got dark fast. Blame Mother Nature and that silly, archaic time-shift we do twice a year.
We have details who's got the pediatrc vaccines, when they'll start being adminstered, and who's still got appointments available.
Everbody's orange! Wasn't Halloween last weekend?!?
We're out of Halloween, we're into November. And it feels like it.
Last minute call to rescue a friend. Because that's what we do.
No numbers, but lots of info. Pre-book your kids' vaccines? Maybe. Get a vaccine even if you've had COVID? Definitely!
What does "fully vaccinated" mean? And could that be changing? The answer is likely yes.
Let's dig in to what the holidays might look like. Because officials around the state are doing just that.
It's Mystery Theme Tuesday. And we have news about the kids' vaccines as well as a warning to Point Richmond residents about protecting their gas tanks.
That storm didn't fail to deliver. It delivered all over us and kept doing so. Much flooding, but other things improved.
We are soooo clooose to having boosters for all Team Vaccine. And we've got new details on this storm coming. And it's a BIG ONE!
Water, water everywhere but let's send it to Marin.
