We're a bunch of political geeks in a torrid but troubled love affair with San Francisco. We've made a voter guide for every SF election since 2004--our secret decoder ring for SF politics. We like to say it's thoroughly researched and thoroughly biased. All of us lucky enough to enjoy the San Francisco magic owe it to our City to fight to keep it diverse, just, and healthy. This podcast breaks our voter guide up into delicious, easily digestible audio chunks.
