How do I settle creative differences? With This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Thanks to Pete Larsen for the idea for this episode: “I'd love to see a fight between 'Exposition Boy, the Teen-Sidekick' and 'Billy Narrator Jr.'”2. If you're going to take six years to develop an international exposition and build an artificial island for it, maybe open it in an off-year when there isn't an official world's fair on the other coast. The Golden Gate International Exposition opened in 1939, competing with the 1939 New York World's Fair. (Spoilers: they did run out of money and closed early in October 1939, then scrounged up a little more to reopen May-September 1940.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_International_Exposition3. Billy commandeered the show in episode 113, “Don't Kid a Kidder,” to do his own show, Billy Narrator, Boy Detective.https://archive.org/details/tgimh-113-dont-kid-a-kidder4. The Pope's Rhinoceros by Lawrence Norfolk establishes a deeper backstory than any other novel I've read. The first four pages describe glacial and geologic activity that form the lake where protagonists finally come into the story on the fifth page. Literally a glacial age of backstory.Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Exposition Boy's storytelling music was from “Journey Into Fear,” the June 9, 1946 episode of the public domain radio show Hour of Mystery. Music from the second commercial was from the public domain film Death Machines (1976). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals. Sound Effect Title: Traffic mel 1.wavBy malupeeters License: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0https://freesound.org/people/malupeeters/sounds/191350/Sound Effect Title: Park ambience - mostly birdsLicense: Public Domainhttps://freesound.org/people/Mafon2/sounds/274175/#Music Title: Kitten on the KeysComposed and Performed by Zez Confrey and His OrchestraRecorded May 4, 1922License: Public Domainhttps://freemusicarchive.org/music/Antique_Phonograph_Music_Program_Various_Artists/Antique_Phonograph_Music_Program_05052009/Kitten_on_the_Keys/The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of one panel from the April 28, 1929 public domain comic strip Just Kids by Ad Carter.

This episode was so much fun to record!  I was able to get a mini tour of Chinatown with two SF natives who grew up down there, Josh Chuck, co-producer and co-director of the documentary film Chinatown Rising, and my mom Brenda!  It was really fun to capture the sounds of Chinatown on this recording, I hope you enjoy!  A few FACT CHECK items:  I said Pan-Pacific Exposition, but I meant The Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939.  And I also said my mom's grandparents immigrated here in the 1870's, but I meant to say my mom's GREAT-grandparents. After a little walk through the streets, we ended up at the historic Donaldina Cameron House, where we met Harry Chuck who had worked there as director for over 40 years.  He captured footage of various social justice moments during the 1960's-1980's.  Flash forward over 40 years and he and Josh were able to produce a film about that era.  It is wonderful to see some moments in SF history that many of us would otherwise never be able to see. For now Chinatown Rising is limited to school and community viewings, but it will be available for rent via streaming soon, so stay tuned!  To learn more about the film you can go to https://www.chinatownrising.com or follow them on social media @chinatownrising Thanks to all my guests, Harry and Josh Chuck and special thanks to my mom for showing me a little bit more about where she grew up! Our Theme: “Super Happy J-Pop Fun-Time” by Prismic Studios was arranged and performed by All Arms Around  Interlude: Chinatown Rising Trailer via YouTube Our logo and cover art were designed by Justin Chuan @w.a.h.w (We Are Half The World).

You don't have to look very long to find tributes to Frida Kahlo in San Francisco. Frida inspired murals cover walls throughout the Mission, street vendors near the Embarcadero sell clothes and earrings with her likeness, and there's a street named after her in the Ingleside neighborhood. This devotion to Frida makes perfect sense because Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera lived in San Francisco, not once, but twice. During their last stay in TK YEAR, Diego Rivera painted a 74-foot long, 30-ton fresco in front of a live audience at the the Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island. The mural is rich with details depicting Ancient Mexico, the California Gold Rush, a bustling 1940s San Francisco, and historical figures from Latin America and the United States. You can stare at it for an hour and still miss details. Now this Pan American Unity mural is on display for free at the SFMOMA until the summer of 2023, you can visit it as often as you like to fully take in its message and power. To learn more about the Pan American Unity mural's backstory and the controversy it sparked, we figured it'd be a good time to revisit a story that first ran on KQED's Bay Curious podcast. The episode also dives into Frida's artistic development and how a Santa Rosa horticulturalist influenced her art.

Season 5 of Raw Material takes inspiration from a 41 x 37-foot scale model of the city that was recently unearthed, refurbished, and distributed in pieces to neighborhood libraries. Listen in as residents tell stories of life in this vibrant, diverse, and ever-changing frontier city. Produced by award-winning radio documentarians the Kitchen Sisters, this season examines themes of urban development and identity in a city poised on the edge of the continent and built on landfill, steep hills, and the dreams of immigrants and pioneers. From memories of the luminous Golden Gate International Exposition on Treasure Island to recollections of the freaky fun house at Playland, from North Beach to the Mission, Stories from the Model City brings to life the fascinating and troubled evolution of San Francisco.

Gil Mansergh’s Word By Word guests for July are a pair of Marin County writers with books on decidedly different topics. Bonnie Monte’s The Sleeping Lady is a modern, cozy mystery novel set in the shadow of Mt. Tamalpais, and Francine Falk-Allen, who contracted polio when she was three, presents Not A Poster Child which is, as she writes, “a memoir of life as a handicapped person trying to be a normie.”

Word By Word: Conversations With Writers host Gil Mansergh’s June conversation is with two multi-talented Marin County novelists: Christie Nelson, and her latest historical novel, Beautiful Illusion: Treasure Island, 1939 a tale of a plucky female reporter, a dwarf anthropologist, and a Japanese diplomat and dangerous deceit at the Golden Gate International Exposition held in the middle of San Francisco Bay; and Jeb Harrison, with his picaresque family saga, The Healing of Howard Brown which begins with a middle-aged man vowing to fulfill his dying father’s final wish, “Find your sister!”
