In 1985, MTV was in the thick of the rock revolution. You couldn't turn on the channel without seeing guys with big hair and loud guitars playing to sexy, scantily clad women, and Y&T's “Summertime Girls” was no exception. This long-running Bay Area band was well respected in the world of hard rock and had amassed legions of fans around the globe, yet they remained somewhat under the radar in the American mainstream. Although the band wrote “Summertime Girls” as a joke, their record label insisted they record it, a decision that initially seemed like a stroke of genius when the song became their most well-known hit in the States. It wasn't long, however, before a backlash set in, and the fiercely determined band was forced back to square one. This week, we're joined by Horror Movie Night's Scott Roger to dive into the life and times of Y&T, a prolific band that may have made one huge, albeit catchy, mistake.

They break down how JJ Redick & the team should handle their big 3 of Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves moving forward as the superstar trio has still not figured it out on the court and continue their conversation on LeBron James' future with the team as the King is set to hit free agency this summer.

Finally, they address Kevin Durant's comments defending USA Basketball and the AAU system as the superstar committed to represent Team USA in the 2028 olympics and fend off the European takeover of basketball before giving their takes on the NBA's plans to stop tanking as it runs rampant through the league.

When Mayor Lurie took office, San Francisco was spending nearly $1 Billion a year responding to homelessness, yet the number of people living unsheltered had not budged in years. In this episode, Kunal Modi, the city's Chief of Health and Human Services, shares how the Lurie administration is tackling the intersecting homelessness, mental health and addiction crises. Rather than layering on new programs, the city is attempting something harder: redesigning how fragmented systems work together.Kunal and Claudia discuss:The city's move to unify fragmented and siloed outreach teamsThe importance of shifting accountability and decision-making to the front linesHow San Francisco's strategy is leveraging the community supports in CalAIMWhy solutions need to reflect the intersecting nature of the homeless problemKunal reminds us that ending the cycle of homelessness is far more complicated than just finding housing:“This is more than a homelessness crisis, it's an intersecting homelessness, behavioral health, and drug addiction crisis that we need to bring our healthcare system and our social service system in closer alignment… We need to reorient our Public Health strategies to not only support those in crisis, but to think about the broader communities and neighborhoods.”Relevant LinksSee Mayor Lurie's thoughts on the “Breaking the Cycle” initiativeGet more information on the City's new RV parking restrictionsRead the Crankstart report on tackling homelessness in San Francisco About Our GuestKunal Modi is the policy chief of health, homelessness, and family services in San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie's administration.

Today, we are sitting down with Sarah Yarkin, the breakout star of School Spirits and the lead of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. Sarah shares her journey from growing up in the Bay Area to navigating UCLA's acting program, where she felt she had to "fight the program" just to begin her professional career.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode In this episode, Carm Capriotto speaks with Tom Ham about the rising labor rates shaping the automotive repair industry. Drawing from the Labor Rate Tracker tool on the Automotive Management Network, Tom explains how shops across the country are steadily increasing rates, with many approaching the $200 per hour threshold. Geographic trends reveal higher rates in regions like the San Francisco Bay Area and Connecticut, and Tom recommends gradual monthly increases of $1 to $2 to maintain profitability without alarming customers. They also discuss shifting business realities, including rising repair order values driven by vehicle complexity, higher parts costs, and increased technician compensation, even as car counts may level off. Many shops are also setting vehicle age limits to improve efficiency and reduce liability. Looking ahead, Tom highlights how artificial intelligence will enhance diagnostics and workflow, supporting the rise of a highly skilled mechanical specialist working alongside AI.

What does it take to level up your documentation and grant applications when you're deeply insecure about your writing?   In this episode of Art Problems, I speak with Bay Area artist Kimberlee Koym-Murteira about joining Netvvrk three years ago, knowing she needed support to win more grants. She'd seen firsthand that when she had help, she was successful—but she didn't know how to get that consistently. Through constant feedback, mentorship from members, and building relationships in accountability groups, Kimberlee transformed her applications so dramatically that she won many and went from avoiding certain opportunities to applying for the Guggenheim.   This conversation breaks down what it looks like to use a creative community—getting feedback within hours when you need it, why AI tools help but can't replace human editors, and how focusing on your own path instead of competing locally creates sustained hopefulness even when six major galleries in your region close. If you've ever wondered what the practical day-to-day of career growth looks like, the details are all in this podcast.   LINKS AND RESOURCES Free Info Session: How to Become a Biennial Artist - Wednesday, February 25th at 7pm EST.

Minds Over Matter! The Bay Area's favorite quiz show hosted by moderator Dana Rodriguez with panelists Kira Pace and Laury Fischer.

Episode 86 is up and running with a brand new show for 2026. Nick is hosting and holding the fort down, as he has a lot to discuss since the last episode. We start things off with one of the most anticipated albums of the last five years, with J. Cole's The Fall Off. Nick gives his honest thoughts about the two disc album and applauds it for the songs, samples, and interpolations, but boos it for three small details. Find out what quick report card grade he gives it. After that, Bad Bunny takes over the Super Bowl stage at Levi's Stadium and brings the culture with him during the 20 minute outing. From stars appearing to him bring Latin American countries together, Nick wants to know what the fuss was about during, after, and post his performance. Next, a person who hasn't been talked about on the show, Kanye West, issues an apology for his Jewish rants that he said years ago. West wants people to forgive him for his misgivings but listen to see if Nick is easy to forgive. Later, Bay Area rapper LaRussell recently sat down in an interview and told the hosts that as much as he respects Lil Wayne, the older he got, the more he realized that Wayne's music has no substance behind his music. Nick gives his thoughts on the Bay Area rapper's comments and find out if he agrees or disagrees with what he said.

Hutt and Chad break down why the baseball world is buzzing, and it's because Tony Vitello didn't give Giants media the canned, corporate answers about moving from Knoxville to the Bay Area. He talked about leaks, he talked about stress, and he talked about how he almost stayed put because of how the news broke. The 'Old Guard' calls it his first unforced error and questions his loyalty. I'm calling it the first win of the season. Why? Because Tony Vitello is doing something Major League Baseball hates: He's being a human being. Learn more about your ad choices.

Innovation rarely moves at a single speed. Some industries reward patience, structure, and decades-long planning. Others demand rapid experimentation, constant iteration, and a tolerance for uncertainty. Few founders understand both worlds firsthand—but Larissa Schneider does.In this episode of Inventive Journey, host Devin Miller sits down with Larissa to unpack a career that spans continents, industries, and radically different innovation timelines. From working in aerospace at Airbus—where products can take 20 to 30 years to reach the market—to building and scaling an AI startup to nearly 100 people in under two years, Larissa's journey offers powerful lessons for modern founders.Born and raised in a small town in Germany, Larissa developed an early desire to experience the world beyond familiar borders. That curiosity took her to Australia for high school, the UK and France for university, and eventually into large multinational organizations. Along the way, she gained exposure to international teams, multiple languages, and the discipline required to operate inside massive enterprises.At Airbus, Larissa learned what “slow innovation” really means. Precision matters. Long-term thinking isn't optional. And mistakes carry enormous consequences. While those lessons built rigor and patience, they also revealed a mismatch between the pace of the industry and the kind of impact she wanted to make.That realization led her to the Bay Area and into the startup ecosystem, where speed and experimentation define success. There, Larissa experienced the other extreme—shipping fast, learning in real time, and seeing results almost immediately. The contrast reshaped how she thinks about building companies, teams, and products.During COVID, she made another intentional pivot into cybersecurity, seeking both challenge and purpose. It was in that environment—alongside her future co-founders—that she witnessed the sudden rise of large language models. While consumers adopted AI tools almost overnight, businesses struggled to unlock real value. That gap sparked the idea for Unframe.Today, Unframe has grown rapidly across multiple continents, serving customers who return again and again as the platform expands across teams and departments. Larissa shares candid insights on what made that growth possible, including early hiring mistakes, the danger of over-polishing before demand exists, and why founders must be honest about the level of commitment startups require.She also offers advice that isn't always popular but is deeply practical: startup life isn't compatible with half-measures. The work is intense, the boundaries are thin, and the tradeoffs are real. But for those who choose it intentionally, the learning and momentum can be unmatched.This conversation is a must-listen for founders navigating AI, global teams, and fast-moving markets—especially those trying to balance speed with long-term discipline.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

The Bay Area is in the midst of something unprecedented: playing host to the NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl, and FIFA World Cup games back-to-back-to-back. It usually takes years of planning and expert navigating of local politics to pull off even one of these events. Host Jeff Berman talked with the person responsible for making it all happen behind-the-scenes: Zaileen Janmohamed, CEO of the Bay Area Host Committee.

Commuting from East Bay cities like Berkeley and Oakland into San Francisco can be dismal. So when people learn there used to be an extensive streetcar system that crisscrossed the East Bay they want to know, what happened to it? The Key System, as it was known, could get a person from Berkeley or Oakland into San Francisco in 35-40 minutes and was a popular way to travel in the early part of the 20th century. What happened to it and were there nefarious forces contributing to its demise?

A foundational participant in the '70s Bay Area bluegrass scene, Laurie Lewis knows the power of collaboration. She's been a part of an ensemble in recent years that's called "Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands" with Laurie on fiddle, guitar, and vocals, Brandon Godman on fiddle, George Guthrie on banjo, and Hasee Ciaccio on bass. That group plays a huge part in her new album, 'Oh California!,' a collection of songs that explore our own places in the natural world and in each other's hearts. It also serves as a love letter to her home state. One standout track, the traditional "Fair and Tender Ladies," is a duet with Ciaccio, which brings the song's cautionary tale to life. In our Basic Folk conversation, Laurie talks about what it's been like to learn traditional songs before actually catching their meaning, long after figuring out the tune.Lewis emphasizes the communal and collaborative nature that defines her musicianship. She recounts her early exposure to music played socially when her father and his friends gathered at their home to play classical music when she was young. She credits that experience with solidifying her decision to learn to play, so she could have as much fun as they did. Laurie also opens up about her path to finding independence from her father's expectations and her eventual return to music through modern dance and folk tradition. She touches on her passion for nature, recounting transformative hiking experiences, and reveals her thoughts on collaboration and mentorship within the music community.Additionally, Lewis reflects on the profound impact of losing her voice in 2021 and the emotional journey of rediscovering her musical identity. We wrap up our conversation talking about her friend Alice Gerrard, whom she covers on the new album. After we hung up, Laurie emailed me an addendum about Alice that I wanted to share: "I forgot to say, when you asked me about Alice Gerrard, that I also greatly admire her community involvement in the music she loves, as evidenced by her starting and running the 'Old Time Herald' for so many years. She's a remarkable person. Plus, she trained her dog to fetch a beer out of the fridge for her and then put the empty can in the recycling!"
