Falling in love with San Francisco is like a snowflake. Whether you're born here or become a transplant, we all find our own way to the heart of the city. For BFF.fm founder Amanda Guest, it was no different. In this podcast, Amanda will tell the story of a 2009 all-nighter in the Mission with her friend, Mission Mission's Allan Hough. Along the way, she discovered enough surprises and felt so at home that she decided to move here a few years later, eventually founding her internet community-based radio station.

BFF.fm founder Amanda Guest first visited San Francisco as a kid with her family from Massachusetts. Her first trip here as adult was in 2007, when she came as part of the Game Developers Conference. For Part 1 of Amanda's podcast, she'll talk about some of those times spent in the city before she had the experience that ultimately inspired her to move here. We recorded this episode in BFF's studio at Secret Alley in January 2018. Film photography by Michelle Kilfeather
