This week's replay, one of the most popular episodes of 2025, features a profound conversation between Barry Barkan, visionary eldercare advocate and Pioneer Network co-founder, and AgingIN CEO Susan Ryan. These longtime friends discuss reimagining aging and the transformative potential of community, spirit, and consciousness. Barkan shares his journey from founding the Live Oak Institute to helping launch the Pioneer Network, driven by a belief that aging is not a problem to solve but a gift to elevate. He recounts his efforts to create a regenerative, inclusive community at the Jewish Home in Oakland—an idea that initially faced rejection but ultimately gained momentum and global influence, including a successful expansion into 15 homes in Israel. But this conversation goes beyond history. Barkan offers a deeply reflective vision for a paradigm shift—a movement from a worldview rooted in domination and separation to one grounded in interconnection, kindness, and sufficiency. He challenges listeners to see humanity as one living being, where every person and every creature matters. Together, Ryan and Barkan explore the concept of "Elder Awesome" and moving beyond traditional notions of "elder care." They also discuss the "Tao of Blessings"—a personal path to leave grace in every encounter Barkan offers his vision for communities and care environments rooted in equity, dignity, and accountability.

In this episode of Rising For Our Motherlands, we take listeners on a guided tour of two of Oakland's most powerful and politically significant murals: the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural (completed in 2014) and the SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural at Uptown Body and Fender (completed in 2024).Oakland to Palestine Solidarity MuralIn the first part of the episode, we walk listeners through the Oakland to Palestine Solidarity Mural, a monumental public artwork that centers the image of the tree as a global symbol of life, resilience, and resistance.Spanning 157 feet wide and 22 feet tall, the mural is composed of nine individual panels, each painted by a different artist or collective. Through distinct interpretations of the tree motif, the mural draws connections between shared histories of colonization, environmental exploitation, the internal exile of Indigenous peoples, and ongoing struggles for justice.Together, these panels form a stunning public tribute to the human spirit and its unassailable right to thrive in the face of political oppression and injustice—wherever it occurs in the world.SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation MuralLater in the episode, we are joined by Yasmeen, a Bay Area community member involved in the SUMUD mural project, and Al Juthoor, a local Bay Area Dabke group. Yasmeen shares insights into the production process, artistic vision, and political motivations behind the mural.The SUMUD: Resistance Until Liberation Mural is a collaborative project between artists and activists in the U.S. and Palestine. It explores and confronts the deep interconnections between systems of incarceration, colonization, and repression in both places, while affirming the vitality of the Palestinian Liberation Movement. The mural serves both as a memorial to this historical moment and as a living expression of collective struggle—locally and globally.In both the U.S. and Palestine, art is often a political act. This mural stands as a testament to the imagination, brilliance, and creativity of resistance, even under conditions of imprisonment and occupation. As Zionist forces enact ongoing death and destruction in Gaza and Palestine, creating this mural together as a community affirms a shared commitment to resistance, solidarity, and liberation.Sumud is an Arabic word meaning the steadfast will to survive, endure, and remain connected to the land.Featured music & audio clips in this episode: Mohammed Assaf, voices of Emory Douglas, Keven Cooper and Um Eyad, various national & international news segments, and chants from students, local Bay Area activists, and organizers.Graphic includes a portrait of Um Eyad by Art Forces lead artist Susan Greene, in collaboration with Peps 357 (Spoon) and Asha Sudra (Kufiyeh).  Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.Learn more: Oakland to Palestine Mural: https://artforces.org/projects/murals/usa/oakland-palestine-solidarity-mural/Sumud Mural: SumudMuralOakland.org

Bobby and Alex discuss the surprising news that Munetaka Murakami — once considered one of the top free agents on the market this year — has signed a two-year, $34 million contract with the Chicago White Sox. Then, they discuss the final luxury tax payment figures that came out this past week and what, if anything, it says that the Dodgers paid more in luxury tax than the bottom 12 teams paid in total payroll.

Episode: Sasha Berliner at SFJAZZ — Recontextualizing the VibraphoneIn this episode, we welcome San Francisco native Sasha Berliner, a vibraphonist, composer, and producer whose work serves as a spectral map of contemporary music. Berliner has emerged as a primary voice in the New York scene by deconstructing the traditional boundaries of her instrument, blending a rigorous jazz foundation with the kinetic, "genre-blurring" spirit of the Bay Area.We discuss her journey from rock drumming in Oakland to studying harmony with Stefon Harris, and her current trajectory toward a new "electric" aesthetic inspired by the fusion giants of the 1970s.Bay Area Foundations: Berliner attributes her experimental spirit to growing up within the artistic landscape of the San Francisco Bay Area and her formative years at the Oakland School for the Arts.A Diverse Sonic Upbringing: Her musical identity remains rooted in an eclectic mix of rock, alternative music, and hip-hop. She notes that her father's history in the local punk scene, specifically his work with the band Alice Donut, significantly influenced her approach.The Influence of Stefon Harris: Moving to New York to study with Harris was a pivotal shift. She utilizes his system of relating harmony to specific emotions as a cornerstone of her compositional process, allowing her music to "speak" without the need for lyrics.Recontextualizing the Vibraphone: Berliner actively works to move beyond "antiquated" associations of the vibraphone, creating a sound that reflects modern textures rather than solely adhering to mid-century jazz archetypes.The Electric Evolution: Her upcoming project, slated for late 2026, focuses on an all-electric ensemble featuring synths and electric bass. This direction draws inspiration from groups like Weather Report and The Headhunters, as well as modern innovators like Chris Potter's Circuits Trio.The Dynamics of Leadership: She reflects on the transition from a versatile side player for luminaries like Christian McBride to a bandleader responsible for the logistical and sonic architecture of her own projects.Musical Tracks Featured"Jade" (from the album Onyx): A track Berliner identifies as the "closest relative" to her developing electric project."Zenith" (from the album Fantôme): A piece featuring a distinctive horn arrangement inspired by the collective energy of Stefon Harris's 90 Miles album.Sasha Berliner returns home this week for a double bill with vocalist Michael Mayo at SFJAZZ.The Ensemble: Berliner will lead a quintet featuring Myles Martin (drums), Julio Xavier Chetto (bass), Javier Santiago (piano/keys), and Tristan Cappel (sax/flute).Date: Saturday, December 27, 2025.Time: 7:30 PM.Venue: Miner Auditorium, San Francisco.Tickets: Available at SFJAZZ.org.Keeping Jazz Alive in the 415.

Aside from "The Babe," there's probably no more recognizable nickname in baseball than "Catfish." But Jim Hunter proved easy to catch and hard to keep for Athletics owner Charlie Finley 51 years ago this week, when Finley's negligence led to an arbitration decision that freed Hunter from his contract with Oakland. As baseball's first modern free agent, Hunter served as an excellent test case for ballplayers who were eager to see what their prices were on the open market, and the answer to that was: a lot! Mike and Bill look back at Hunter's career and the mistake that was an important mile marker on the road to the modern free agent era. Plus, happy birthday to John Anderson and Adolfo Phillips! And farewell to Carlos Lezcano, Terry Ley, Brian Dayett and Jim Marshall.

Tate is joined by the Tennessean's Tom Kreager discusses the excitement surrounding the Indiana Hoosiers reaching the top spot in the college football playoffs. He highlights the success of local talent like Charlie Becker, a former Father Ryan standout and "under-recruited" track athlete who has become a key player for Indiana this season. The conversation also touches on the homecoming of Indiana head coach Kalen DeBoer, who previously coached at the university, as the team prepares to face Alabama in the Rose Bowl. The discussion then shifts to the final Nashville area high school football rankings, noting significant jumps by teams like Centennial (#15) and Antioch following strong playoff runs. Oakland finished in the top spot, followed by Brentwood Academy and Ravenwood, while Nashville Christian achieved its highest-ever ranking at #6. Kreager also praises several coaching performances, specifically mentioning Taylor Burks for leading Centennial to the semifinals after a mid-season start and Tony Brunetti for rallying Pearl-Cohn from an 0-4 start to ten consecutive wins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oakland's City Council has voted to renew the city's $2 million contract to keep hundreds of Flock license plate cameras up. That's despite residents' concerns about data privacy and federal immigration enforcement. For more, KCBS's Steve Scott spoke with KCBS Insider Phil Matier.

Tanya Holland—celebrity chef, cookbook author, entrepreneur, and founder of the acclaimed Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland—shares how she brings olive oil into the world of modern soul food. While many don't traditionally associate olive oil with soul food, Tanya embraces it to make her dishes both healthier and more flavorful. From olive oil–based marinades, sauces, and vinaigrettes to sautéing collard greens in olive oil instead of lard or butter, she shows how this ingredient can elevate classic dishes. In conversation with Alexandra Kicenik Devarenne, director of the Extra Virgin Alliance, Tanya discusses the role of olive oil in the soul food kitchen and opportunities for growth within the foodservice industry. She advocates for more restaurants to use high-quality olive oil—especially in salad dressings—and to move away from industrial pre-made options. This video was produced by The Culinary Institute of America as an industry service to the International Olive Council.

Teatime with Miss Liz Serves: December 16th, 7 PM EST. Guest: Jonni Jordyn — “A Lifetime of Artistry: Music, Storytelling & The Evolution of a Creator” Jonni Jordyn — The Many Lives of a Creator: Music, Film, and the Art of Reinvention. A lifetime of creativity — one extraordinary story at a time. Miss Liz doesn't serve a beverage; she serves real-life changemakers.On December 16th, she serves Jonni Jordyn, an award-winning American author whose creative journey spans music, filmmaking, acting, photography, technology, and now bold, imaginative novels. Born in Oakland, California, in 1957, Jonni began creating at an early age: playing music at two, acting and singing in grade school, writing poetry and stories in high school, and exploring film and visual arts in college. Her life has been a continuous arc of expression, curiosity, and reinvention. After decades as a musician performing with legendary artists of the ‘60s and ‘70,s Jonni shifted into novel writing later in life while travelling and rediscovering her voice on the page. Her award-winning work includes The Alpha and Omega of All Viruses, a gripping and brilliantly layered novel blending science, suspense, creativity, and deep imagination. A proud autistic creator, she embraces her truth and her neurodivergent perspective with strength and authenticity. Burgundy fills her closet, royal blue is her fiancé's favorite on her, and her life can be summed up in three powerful identities: Technologist. Musician. Novelist.

She began playing music at age two, performed with iconic artists of the sixties and seventies, and wrote poetry and visual work published in literary magazines while in college. Her creative path has been bold, diverse, and limitless. Her transition to novels began years later, sparked by a blank piece of paper and the question, “How can I possibly write more than eleven thousand words?” The answer became 160,000, and the start of an extraordinary new chapter.Jonni's award-winning novel The Alpha and Omega of All Viruses showcases her ability to merge imagination, science, and story into worlds that captivate. Her fiancé says she should be more humble, but her achievements confirm one truth: Jonni Jordyn is successful in every sense of the word.

Her journey from musician to novelist, from filmmaking to fiction, from blank pages to award-winning books, shows the power of persistence, curiosity, and staying true to one's voice. Her perspective as a neurodivergent artist added depth, truth, and brilliance to every reflection she poured into tonight's conversation.Thank you, Jonni, for gifting Teatime with your colour, courage, and creativity.

Historic houses offer a tangible connection to a city's past, but maintaining them is difficult and expensive. Some of Oakland's most unique structures are currently endangered due to deferred maintenance and budget shortages. Fortunately, there are also several homes that have developed models for how to survive despite these challenges. Their goal isn't merely to exist, but to serve as resources for the neighborhoods that have grown up around them. To explore why saving historic homes matters, this episode features interviews with: -Naomi Schiff of the Oakland Heritage Alliance -Holly Alonso and Miguel Lopez of the Peralta Hacienda -Nancy Donald and Patty Donald of the Cohen-Bray House To see photos and links related to this episode, visit: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/how-to-save-a-house/ Don't forget to follow the East Bay Yesterday Substack for updates on events, boat tours, exhibits, and other local history news: http://substack.com/@eastbayyesterday Donate to keep this show alive: www.patreon.com/c/eastbayyesterday

When you tell friends you're going to see a movie at The Roxie, there's an almost palpable envy that sets in for them. In this episode, meet Lex Sloan and Henry S. Rosenthal. Lex is The Roxie's executive director and Henry is on its Board of Directors and the chair of the theater's capital campaign, which we'll get to. In the meantime, if you'd like to help keep a bona fide San Francisco landmark in its rightful home until the end of time (they'd sure love you to, and so would I), donate to the Forever Roxie fund here. We start with Henry, who lets us know that the "S" in his name stands for Sigmund. Henry was born in Cincinnati and had what he describes as an "idyllic childhood" there. He started going to music shows when he was 13, seeing bands like Iggy and the Stooges and MC5. After graduating from high school, he moved to San Francisco in 1973 to attend school at The New College of California. He was an early subscriber to Rolling Stone magazine, where he had seen a New College ad. That ad captivated young Henry's imagination. He visited the campus, which was in Sausalito at the time, after a road trip from Ohio to the West Coast. The school tried to get him to enroll right then, but Henry decided to go back home and finish high school first. Henry produced cable TV shows while in college. In a sense, it's what he's been doing ever since. When Henry moved to San Francisco, there were still operating movie palaces on Market. Before really making friends here, he'd spend a lot of time inside those theaters. It was the era of movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Enter the Dragon. He says it's difficult to put into words (it is), but San Francisco just grabbed him and never let go. Then we turn to Lex Sloan. Lex went to college in Bellingham, Washington, at the type of school that allows you to design your own degree, which she did. Lex got a bachelor's in "social change media," which is so on the nose, it tickles. Post-graduation, she went to what she calls "the middle of nowhere, Arizona," but that lasted all of seven or eight months. Looking for where to land next and being a spreadsheet nerd (like me), Lex made a list. And lo and behold, San Francisco checked the most boxes. She got a job in Redwood City, not knowing that that Peninsula town wasn't exactly The City. No matter—she landed. The job involved teaching video production at a community center. At first, she stayed in a hostel on Mission Street before finding a place all her own on Craigslist. That was 2005, and Lex hasn't looked back. We go back to Henry to hear the story of how The Roxie drew him in. Perhaps jokingly, he says he laments not visiting when The Roxie was a porn theater. Henry doesn't recall his actual first visit, but says he's been a regular since first learning about the place. He knew Bill Banning, who created Roxie Releases, the organization's distribution operation. (Rivers and Tides, the documentary about artist Andy Goldsworthy, is among their releases.) Banning and he were friends for a while. Their kids went to school together. Their lives kept intertwining, including at film festivals. When The Roxie transitioned to a nonprofit and created a board, folks like Bill invited Henry to join it. He politely refused … until the theater was on firmer ground financially. And once it was, he was in. Henry's goal in joining The Roxie board was singular, he says: To help the organization buy the building where the theater sits. Lex does remember her first time at The Roxie. After she landed in The City, she sought work on local film crews. She found a crew and their film (Getting Off) premiered at The Roxie during Frameline. Because she was "only" a production assistant, she wasn't comped a ticket. Lex remembers showing up and seeing a rather long and daunting line to get in. But! That line was filled with her people. She calls that screening "magical" and "electrifying." Over the years, she came back time and again, for one-off movies as well as for film festivals. When Lex worked for Frameline, one of her jobs was carrying film prints into the projection booth at The Roxie and other theaters. Fast-forward to 10 years or so ago, when Lex became operations director at The Roxie. We then turn to the history of The Roxie, with Lex as our tour guide. The space where the theater sits today was built to be just that—a movie theater. It wasn't converted at any point from something else to become a place where folks watch movies. The folks who run the theater today have discovered and held onto the original blueprints from 1913. Its first name was The Poppy Theater. Then it was The 16th Street. Then The New 16th Street, The Gaiety, The Rex, and finally, in the early 1930s, The Roxie. That oh-so-recognizable marquee came to The Mission from an auto dealership in Oakland aboard a barge that traveled across The Bay. A lot of the history of The Roxie before the Seventies is not well-known. But, after becoming The Roxie, it was first a German-language cinema (concessions at the time were German candies). Thanks to some projectionist's notes they've found, they know that in the Fifties, it became a variety space of sorts. In the late Sixties/early Seventies, it was an XXX theater, as mentioned in Henry's story earlier. In those days, a turnstile out front kept underage folks and those who didn't pay out (or did it?). In 1976 or '77, a group of local artists took over. That group changed a lot of things. It became more of an arthouse cinema, as it remains to this day. The folks who ran the place put people before profits. Midnight movies became a thing The Roxie was known for. Check back Thursday for Part 2 with Lex and Henry.

What does it mean to be an artist for the people? In this episode of Rising for Our Motherlands, we talk with muralists and cultural workers Cece Carpio and Chris “C” Gazaleh about making art in movement spaces — from the Philippines and Palestine to the murals that filled downtown Oakland after the George Floyd uprisings.Cece Carpio uses acrylic, ink, aerosol, and installations to tell stories of immigration, ancestry, resistance, and resilience. Her bold portraits blend folkloric forms with urban art techniques, honoring everyday people and their thriving presence. Cece has created and exhibited work across the world and currently serves as Galleries Manager for the San Francisco Arts Commission and Public Art Advisor for the City of Oakland.More: CeceCarpio.com | @CeceCarpioChris “C” Gazaleh is a San Francisco–born visual artist, musician, writer, organizer, and educator whose work uplifts Palestinian history, culture, and the struggle for freedom. Rooted in hip hop and graffiti, he developed his style early on and deepened his connection to his heritage while learning Arabic in Detroit. After returning home, he joined General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) at San Francisco State University, helped create the Edward Said mural, and began painting murals throughout the community, working with youth to spread knowledge, love, and cultural pride.More: CGazaleh.com | @CGazalehTogether, we explore how art becomes a language for our families, nurtures collaboration, and uplifts community voices — and what it means to create under capitalist and imperialist systems.Special thanks to Women's Audio Mission and DJ Ari for hosting the recording of this episode.Featuring Music by Excentrik & Chris Gazaleh, Ruby Ibarra, Abe Batshon, Kimmortal, Public Enemy, Anderson Paak, & GingeeA huge thank you to Salma Taleb, Hesham Jarmakani, Francesca Juico, Chris Wanis, and Carmelo Ibanez for our beautiful theme music and to our co-conspirator & We Rise producer Cat Petru for weaving our voices and songs together.Podcast art created by nicole gervacio.

While humans were leaving the Stone Age and entering the Bronze, some Bristlecone pine trees grew from seeds to sprouts. They've been growing ever since. These 5,000-year-old pines are among the oldest organisms on Earth. Superlatives are also appropriate for the towering redwoods. Trees are amazing in many ways. They provide us with timber and cool us with shade, they sequester carbon and release oxygen, and are home to countless species. But they are also marvels of evolutionary adaptation. We consider the beauty and diversity of trees, and learn why their future is intertwined with ours.
