This is a special, bittersweet edition of this show because we are saying goodbye to Doug today as he retires from radio after 40 years on the San Francisco airwaves – the last 35 of them here on KCBS. Doug joined KCBS in 1990 and has been here ever since as a reporter and anchor conducting investigations, covering trials, and breaking news. For the last 19 years he has served as the political reporter and he has hosted this program, the State of California, since the pandemic began in early 2020. Joining KCBS Radio anchor Megan Goldsby to bid Doug a fond farewell are two KCBS Radio legends: longtime anchor Stan Bunger and longtime KCBS and KPIX reporter Mike Sugerman, both of whom preceded Doug in retirement.

Laura Rhodes-Levin, LMFT, therapist and Founder of The Missing Peace Center is author of her book, THE MISSING PEACE: Rewire Your Brain, Reduce Anxiety, and Re-Create Your Life. Laura wants to help you understand your anxiety, teach you how to work with it and embrace it rather than fear it. According to Laura, who suffered debilitating anxiety for many years, “Anxiety is not what's wrong with you. Anxiety is what's right with you. It is an essential survival mechanism. It's the fight/flight/freeze response in your amygdala, the emotional center of your brain.” Heather and Laura talk about choosing peace without guilt, how nature can help, and practical tools to manage anxiety. They also talk about making sure we can all say “yes” to the question: Did I Live my life to the fullest? Laura makes sure we know it is everyone's right to live a peaceful and joyful life, anxiety free. Laura also recently founded the PHEW Foundation, a nonprofit that funds Intensive Outpatient programs for patients in need at The Missing Peace Center for Anxiety. Laura has served as an expert on psychological issues on several outlets and has been seen on KTLA, Good Day LA, Fox News, KCAL 9, KCBS, KABC, and more.

California's trailblazing program to help keep independent journalism alive is in danger of losing its funding At a time when legacy media are struggling to stay afloat and the world of journalism is shrinking by the day, the state of California has been a pioneer, funding dozens of reporters in newsrooms around the state, through its California Local News Fellowship program at UC Berkeley's School of Journalism. But that money will run out unless the state legislature re-authorizes it. All of this has been the result of a tireless campaign by former State Senator and Orinda Mayor Steve Glazer, who continues his fight to save independent journalism even though he has retired from elective office. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott, along with KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern, spoke with Steve Glazer.

For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott and KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Hilton, a former British political strategist and advisor to Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron who relocated to California and became a U.S. citizen, was a fellow at Stanford, ran a Silicon Valley startup and hosted a program on Fox News.

The number of tents and tent encampments of people experiencing homelessness has plunged in San Francisco, to a record low since the city started keeping track six years ago. It's a similar situation in other major California cities, as law enforcement cracks down on illegal camping in public, empowered by a US Supreme Court decision that ruled cities can enforce those laws, even when there are not enough shelter beds available. San Francisco and other cities are being much more aggressive now in arresting people for sleeping outside and clearing homeless camps. But where are those people going? Are they getting off the streets, or are they just being shuffled somewhere else? For more on this, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness in San Francisco.

A potential major blow to the city of Benicia, as Valero announces its intent to close down its major oil refinery there The Texas-based company submitted a notice to the California Energy Commission that it plans to “idle, restructure or cease” its refining operations at the Benicia facility a year from now, in April 2026. Hundreds of people work at the refinery, which refines about nine percent of California's crude oil. Its closure could have a significant economic impact on the surrounding area as well as on the price of gasoline at the pump. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott and KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Mario Giuliani, city manager for Benicia.

In the Palisades fire, we saw just how critical home fire insurance has become, and how it is the insurer of last resort for a growing number of Californians, as the big insurance companies stop writing new policies and refuse to renew existing ones. The problem is, some of those insured, when they suffer a loss, find out that FAIR does not necessarily cover what they thought it does, and that's led to a growing number of lawsuits against the plan. There was a large class action filed last summer by an Oakland attorney who specializes in these cases, on behalf of thousands of wildfire victims from around the state. Now that same lawyer is representing a couple from the Chico area who are also suing, because they say their home is uninhabitable, ruined by toxic smoke and fumes even though it survived the Park Fire and did not burn down. FAIR says the home is fine and refuses to cover the damage. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Steve Scott spoke with KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern.

Kyle and his dad began watching a series called BBQ Pitmasters. They were immediately captivated and the show “lit a fire” under the duo, propelling them to learn to cook competition-style BBQ and eventually compete. That year for Christmas, Kyle bought Jerry a little offset smoker and the two got to work cooking almost every weekend, determined to teach themselves how to smoke meat on a competitive level. Competing in KCBS contests, Kyle has earned four grand championships (two in partnership with another team), 19 first place awards, 40 Top Ten calls, five KCBS ancillary 180 pins (with a perfect-perfect score, another rare feat in the competitive BBQ game!), and 14th place in the rib category at the prestigious 2021 American Royal World Series of BBQ Invitational. He also earned seventh place in the dessert category at the 2021 Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational BBQ competition in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Kyle has participated in more than food competitions in 11 states since he and his father started Your Behind BBQ. While Kyle enjoys the ride that Your Behind BBQ is taking, he's in the driver's seat — steering his fate and pursuing his next challenge. Continuing to compete in any type of food contest he can, he wants to see Your Behind BBQ become a household name. He wants to help teach moms and dads — the weekend backyard BBQ warriors — how to create outstanding meals to feed their family and friends, and perhaps open up a small restaurant one day. Meanwhile, he's happy chasing his dreams with no limits and having fun doing it… with father by his side.

Episode 298 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast features a conversation with Rod Gray, CEO of the Kansas City Barbeque Society. During his nearly three years in leading the world's largest competition BBQ organization, there have been ups and downs and we cover some of those with Rod after he gives us a preview of the 7th annual KCBS World Championships coming up in May in Lebanon, Tenn.  We also welcome back Kevin Green from show sponsor The Butcher Shoppe with a rundown on the meat industry and what trends he's seeing in 2025, plus a review of his business for those who aren't familiar with it. Meanwhile, Skyler Spartan from The Grill Guys of Missouri has the latest from the Republic, Missouri, BBQ store.

Lee Coronado, raised in Perryton, Texas, has always had a passion for experimenting with flavors. As a child, he would mix different sauces and condiments from the fridge together to create unique taste combinations, showcasing his natural curiosity in the kitchen. Lee's journey into the world of barbecue began when his good friend Matt Yara built an Ugly Drum Smoker. After trying the BBQ Matt cooked on it, Lee was hooked. Inspired by the flavors, he decided to build his own smoker and dive deeper into the art of grilling. That decision sparked his love for barbecue, eventually leading him to compete in SCA, CBA,KCBS, IBCA events. In his very first BBQ competition, he walked away with the Grand Champion title, and from that moment, he was fully committed to the craft! Today, Lee is the creator of Meat Hammer Rubs, offering a line of award-winning seasonings, including Meat Hammer All Purpose (1st place winner in the NBBQA poultry category in 2024), designed to elevate the flavor of any dish. His rubs are made with high-quality ingredients, never cutting corners when it comes to flavor, ensuring each product delivers the perfect balance of spice and taste. His products have become a favorite among grilling enthusiasts, backyard cooks, restaurateurs, and chefs alike. Lee continues to share his passion for barbecue, from his home base in Amarillo to pitmasters, cooks and food lovers across the country.

Early voting is already underway in the Oakland mayor's race. And while nine candidates are officially on the ballot, two appear to have pulled away from the pack.

Does anyone else have a chance catching up to these two? For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

Governor Gavin Newsom is taking an unusual step to stay in touch with some of the state's business leaders by sending them burner phones. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

President Trump continues to call for the impeachment of a federal judge who says his deportation of immigrants to El Salvador was illegal. The Trump administration is clashing on a daily basis with federal courts, who continue to rule against many of his early moves, declaring them either unconstitutional or illegal and outside either his or Elon Musk's authority. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising and KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Rory Little, longtime professor of constitutional law at UC Law San Francisco, and a former clerk at the U.S. Supreme Court.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has unveiled a new plan to help fight the city's homeless crisis and help those with mental health or substance abuse issues.

Top California Democrats gathered in the Bay Area today to denounce President Trump's budget plan and what it could mean for Medi-Cal.

Governor Gavin Newsom's podcast is rubbing some of his fellow Democrats the wrong way. In his first two episodes, the governor has spoken out against transgender athletes and had a friendly chat with President Trump's ally Steve Bannon, who once again stated that Trump really won the 2020 election. For more on what Newsom may be up to, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

A new report says San Francisco is struggling to meet the needs of the homeless even though it's providing more shelter beds and housing per capita than other cities. But why is that? For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

Senate Democrats say they will not support a Republican spending bill, which could mean a shutdown of the federal government Friday night. The Democrats have been struggling to find their footing on how to best oppose President Trump's agenda, with some in the party opting for loud resistance, others relying on legal action to stop him, and others trying to work out compromises and slow Trump while minimizing their own political risks. But more and more Democratic voters are fed up and urging their representatives in Washington to fight back, as Trump dismantles more of the federal government every day, laying off thousands of workers and slashing programs he opposes. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising and KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with Paco Fabian, political director of the progressive grass roots organization Our Revolution, which evolved from Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign and is now the country's largest independent political organizing group.

But there's another even bigger name out there that could knock her from that spot within a few months. For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising spoke with KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern.

The fallout continues from President Trump's economic policies, with the stock market plunging today in reaction to the trade war he started. Meanwhile, unemployment is rising and there are many disgruntled Trump supporters among the tens of thousands of federal workers he has fired. Is this mass reduction in the federal workforce really going to make government work better and save money in the long run? For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Patti Reising and KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with William Resh, associate professor at the USC Price School of Public Policy and an expert on the presidency and policy implementation.

State Democrats have rejected a proposal by Governor Gavin Newsom to provide 20 million dollars in funding for a private arts college in San Francisco. For more, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

On Episode 295 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we talk it over with BBQ's new world champions. That's Josh Hale from Sure Shot BBQ out of Leander, Texas, who teamed up with wife Stacy and Reagan “No Shoes” Broesche - cooking on behalf of Always Able But Confused Cookers - to win Grand Championship honors at the 248-team Houston Livestock Rodeo and BBQ last weekend. Cooking at the massive event for just the second time, Sure Shot was Pure Shot in taking home overall honors in one of competition BBQ's majors.

Law enforcement officers descended on a park in San Francisco's Western Addition last night, arresting close to 90 people in a massive drug raid. We've heard a lot about the city cracking down on drug dealers over the past few years. But has there even been a raid of this scale before? For more, KCBS Radio news anchor Bret Burkhart spoke with KCBS insider Phil Matier.

Phil has competed in over 300 sanctioned competitions (350 to be exact) including IBCA, KCBS, BCA, and LSBS to date. Phil currently has 90 Grand Champion & Reserve Grand Champion wins combined, with over 300k Career Earnings. ​Phil grew up In Sour Lake, Texas, his love for food started at a young age, and sports fueled his competitive drive to be the best. He now resides in Bandera Texas with his wife Carmen and their four children. Phil's first competition was in January of 2015…Hardin County Go Texan in Silsbee, TX. The cookoff had 19 teams and they only called top 3 places in each meat. Phil remembers “I sat on my butt through chicken, then ribs, then brisket until they got to 1st place…Boom!  I was hooked.” Now borderline obsessed with the sport of competition barbecue he was constantly mixing up new concoctions to get an edge. That's when Fowl Play was born. Phil went through many versions starting in 2016 until perfection was reached and he launched LC BBQ Fowl Play in 2018. This same method is still in place, He perfects each recipe and tests them in real competitions until the results let him know it's a winner. Play Bull debuted later in 2018, with Bosshog and Angry Bull to follow in 2019.

President Trump is reportedly setting his sights on the California Coastal Commission. That comes according to an ally of the president who says the administration is planning to set conditions on federal disaster relief for Southern California following this year's massive fires.
