Podcasts about San Francisco

This week, the boys return to Anton LaVey as the former circus calliope player paints his house black and transforms himself into San Francisco's spookiest local celebrity. With big cats, Black Masses, Baphomet, Jayne Mansfield, and a whole lot of carefully crafted mythmaking, LaVey builds the foundation for what would become his own uniquely American version of Satanism.

One morning, Oliver Sipple went out for a walk. A couple hours later, to his own surprise, he saved the life of the President of the United States. In a story we reported back in 2017, we explain how in the days that followed, Sipple's split-second act of heroism turned into a rationale for making his personal life into political opportunity. What happens next makes us wonder what a moment, or a movement, or a whole society can demand of one person. And how much is too much?  Through newly unearthed archival tape, we hear Sipple himself grapple with some of the most vexing topics of his day and ours - privacy, identity, the freedom of the press - not to mention the bonds of family and friendship.  Special thanks to Jerry Pritikin, Michael Yamashita, Stan Smith, Duffy Jennings; Ann Dolan, Megan Filly and Ginale Harris at the Superior Court of San Francisco; Leah Gracik, Karyn Hunt, Jesse Hamlin, The San Francisco Bay Area Television Archive, Mike Amico, Jennifer Vanasco and Joey Plaster.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Reported by Latif Nasser and Tracie Hunte Produced by - Produced by Matt Kielty, Annie McEwen, Latif Nasser and Tracie Hunte.

Tripp Mickle, who covers Silicon Valley, discusses the battle in the White House over the issue and how it played out over the last few weeks.  Guest: Tripp Mickle, who reports about Silicon Valley for The New York Times from San Francisco.

In this Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles the growing influence of China in California politics, the ongoing US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, and a murder case in the UK that is forcing a national reckoning over two-tiered justice. From the jungle primaries in San Francisco to mined shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf, Bryan breaks down what these stories mean for everyday Americans and where he sees them heading. He also covers the political chaos surrounding the 250th Independence Day celebrations in Washington, the rise of populist movements in Australia and Colombia, and a stunning immigration fraud case out of Indiana. Plus, Bryan reports on the alarming spread of ticks and tick-borne illness across the Midwest, weighs in on Trump's new pick to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and closes with a hopeful reflection on what a trip back home to rural Oregon reminded him about trust, heritage, and what makes America worth fighting for.

Todd Golden sat down with Dan and didn't hold back.

Ever wondered why every time you reach a new revenue level, the same exhaustion shows up — just dressed differently? In this conversation, Natalie sits down with Julie Santiago — founder of We Are The Women, former Wall Street operator, and one of the rare guests who can break down what high-functioning burnout actually looks like at the 7- and 8-figure mark. Julie walks through the three burnouts that shaped her career: the Wall Street year that put tumors on her ovary at 28, the coaching practice she rebuilt in a San Francisco apartment, and the post-motherhood collapse that brought her to her knees again. The takeaway isn't grit. It isn't quitting. It's something Julie calls evolution and it's the framework most high-achieving women never get taught. This isn't about hustle, balance, or finding your why. It's a brutally honest breakdown of what high-functioning burnout actually looks like at the 7- and 8-figure mark, why the same pattern that builds your success eventually breaks you, and how to evolve past the cycle so you stop ending up in the same place at every new level.

Take pleasure in the gut-wrenching excitement of a 90s action milestone! This week on The Dana Buckler Show, we are heading straight to Alcatraz to break down Michael Bay's 1996 definitive high-concept thriller, The Rock.Coming off the success of Bad Boys, Michael Bay was handed the keys to a massive blockbuster budget, a killer premise, and an absolutely legendary cast. The result? A beautifully shot, fast-paced, explosion-filled masterpiece that stands as a high-water mark for the golden era of 90s action cinema and Hollywood summer blockbusters.In this cinema retrospective, film historian Dana Buckler dives deep into: The Powerhouse Trio: The incredible, lightning-in-a-bottle chemistry between Nicolas Cage's frantic, vinyl-loving FBI chemical weapons expert Stanley Goodspeed and Sean Connery's sophisticated, badass British operative John Patrick Mason. The Sympathetic Villain: Ed Harris's brilliant, nuanced performance as General Hummel—an antagonist with legitimate, tragic motives that elevate the stakes way beyond a standard hostage situation. The Pinnacle of 90s Action: From the iconic, destructive Ferrari car chase through the streets of San Francisco to the brutal shower room standoff, we break down why the practical effects and set pieces in this film still hold up today. The Uncredited Script Doctors: How Hollywood legends like Quentin Tarantino, Aaron Sorkin, and Jonathan Hensleigh secretly helped polish the razor-sharp dialogue.

Losers always whine about their best" line-for-line, or you're revisiting this classic Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production era for the first time, grab your green smoke and join us for the ultimate film review.Welcome to The Rock!Join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin my Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovieSubscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast platform by going to https://linktr.ee/DanaBucklerShowJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/danabucklershowJoin Our Patreon for early access to all episodes, plus a new exclusive podcast, go to Patreon.com/howisthismovie #TheRock #TheDanaBuckler Show #90sAction #NicolasCage #SeanConnery #MichaelBay #FilmPodcast #MovieHistory #CinemaRetrospective #ActionMovies #90sCinema #FilmBuff

What if your money could fund the future you actually want to live in? That is the question Alix Lebec has spent her career trying to answer. On Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten sits down with Alix, founder of Lebec, a firm built to mainstream innovative finance and put more capital to work on some of the world's biggest problems. Alix grew up between France, South Korea, and China before finishing high school in Dallas, Texas. That global upbringing shaped everything about how she sees money, risk, and opportunity. She built her career inside global development, philanthropy, and asset management before launching Lebec during the height of the pandemic to bridge the gap between traditional finance and meaningful change. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of innovative finance strategies, including how blended finance can turn $1 million in philanthropy into $50 million in private investment capital that would otherwise sit on the sidelines. Alix breaks down why women in impact investing are not choosing between returns and values, and why that false choice has kept too many people out of the room for too long. Lebec operates across three pillars. The first is strategic advisory. The second is a boutique investment manager that builds diversified portfolios of private market funds across sectors like water, oceans, and deforestation. The third is narrative change through commercial film and storytelling, where innovative finance structures put capital directly in the hands of social entrepreneurs. Alix is also raising a $1 million seed round to scale the vision. This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered whether her money can do more. Impact investing for women is no longer a niche conversation. It is becoming one of the most important conversations in finance. And if you are ready to take it further, join Syama and the Wealth Catalyst community at the Freedom Tour salons happening in cities across the country, or at the Wealth Catalyst Summit on October 16 in San Francisco.

Seattle's luxury real estate market just sent a flashing warning signal: high-end listings jumped 84% — a number that doesn't happen in a healthy city. This isn't a housing boom. It's an exit.The pattern is identical to what played out in San Francisco, Portland, and every other city where progressive governance chased out the productive class. High earners don't announce their departure — they list their homes. When luxury inventory spikes this hard, the people who have options are exercising them.Seattle's city leadership has spent years treating wealth as a problem to be taxed rather than an asset to be retained. The results are now showing up in the MLS. The blue state exodus isn't a talking point anymore — it's a data point, and it's accelerating.CHAPTERS0:00 Blue State Exodus: Seattle luxury home…1:44 Why People Are Fleeing Washington State2:39 Seattle Mayor's Starbucks Boycott…3:10 Washington Appraiser on the Housing…4:51 Starbucks Relocates 2,000 Jobs to…5:48 Bellevue Homeowner Moving to Oklahoma…7:04 Inventory Surges as Mortgage Rates Hit…8:05 Brokers Advise Sellers to Drop Prices8:54 Bellevue Median Home Price Hits $1.8M9:37 King County Inventory Still Well Below…10:10 King County Luxury Listings Surge 84%10:49 Washington's Next Tax Target: Real…11:42 Seattle Wedged In While Oklahoma City…12:29 Kirkland Up 102% as Seattle Mayor…13:28 Statewide Millionaire Tax Puts All at…14:10 Why Seattle's Housing Market Hasn't…16:38 Timing a Washington Home Sale Exit17:58 Fixed-Income Retirees Caught in…Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories Pacific Northwest media won't touch.#Seattle #RealEstate #CapitalFlight

Darryl Fairweather, Chief Economist at Redfin and author of Hate the Game: Economic Cheat Codes for Life, Love, and Work, joins us to explain why the housing market is doing something it almost never does here: cooling off.In this episode we break down the recent headlines that stopped Seattleites mid-scroll: prices here are dropping here faster than anywhere else in the country. Fairweather points to the perfect storm behind the slowdown: sky-high mortgage rates hitting expensive markets the hardest, Amazon layoffs, and a local tech sector that's lost the confidence it had pre-pandemic. She says San Francisco is eating Seattle's lunch right now, thanks to its AI boom.But Darryl also sees a silver lining: a slow, steady reset could finally make Seattle more livable and affordable for working people.We also get into the policy fights. Should Seattle build its way out of the crisis with more market-rate housing, or invest in social housing? (She says: yes, and yes.) Why does she think rent control or stabilization backfires? What can Seattle learn from Austin's building boom, and what should it absolutely not copy?And what about AI? Darryl thinks it could genuinely help by speeding up permitting or making modular housing cheaper to build. But she's not buying the hype wholesale. Contractors still need to show up and do the work, and no algorithm is going to fix a bureaucratic bottleneck.Send us a text!

How can we understand a problem so vast and complex as homelessness?  After spending her career writing about the stereotyped and misunderstood, writer Alison Owings was eager to take on the challenge.  While this was an omnipresent reality in her hometown of San Francisco, Alison had no idea where to begin.  She found her answer on one of the Tenderloin Walking Tours named after the neighborhood with the city's largest homeless population.  The guide and founder of the tour, Del Seymour, became the subject of a decade-long project to tell the story of the homeless through the memories of one man.  Del's story is one of triumph and redemption.  Del went from spending nearly two decades living on the streets of San Francisco to becoming an advocate for the homeless.  First, first through the creation of the Tenderloin Walking Tours, then through the founding of Code Tenderloin, Del has drawn attention to the plight of the homeless while helping thousands from his community find jobs and a new life.  In this episode, a conversation with Alison Owings about her book Mayor of the Tenderloin: Del Seymour's Journey from Living on the Streets to Fighting Homelessness in San Francisco.

Michael Serva brings a rare combination of fine dining training, journeyman experience, and small-town insight into his work at Bordo in Marfa, Texas. His background spans San Francisco kitchens, mentorship under demanding chefs, and years of hands-on leadership in other operators' restaurants. That journey shapes the perspective he brings to running a compact, high-pressure operation in a remote location where consistency, resilience, and people skills matter as much as technical ability. In this episode, Michael talks about operational seasonality, staff development, quality standards, and guest experience systems as he explains how Bardo grew from a converted Airbnb into a destination with lines out the door. He describes learning by doing, making mistakes under someone else's roof, and the long process of developing judgment before opening his own place. He also explains how limited supply options, high-volume surges, and a tiny production space reinforced his commitment to craft, patience, and steady improvement. Michael also shares why he built a community-grounded service model in Marfa, how he aligned his concept with local expectations, and why overdelivering on hospitality is a daily practice rather than a marketing tactic. From hiring locally to expanding only when operations demanded it, he illustrates how intentional choices, humility, and genuine care can fuel strong word-of-mouth‑ growth even without traditional advertising.

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 22! Professor Ming Hsu Chen is the Harry & Lillian Hastings Research Chair and Faculty-Director of the Race, Immigration, Citizenship, and Equality Program, University of California Law, San Francisco. Chen teaches courses in constitutional law, citizenship, immigration, and race. She brings a socio-legal perspective to the study of race, immigration, and the administrative state.  With the upcoming decision on Trump vs. Barbara, the constitutionality of Executive Order 14160 is in question. This case which has the potential to redefine birthright citizenship may have a huge impact on 14th Amendment and the rights of tens of thousands of people born in the country to immigrant parents.  She is also the author of Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era (Stanford University Press, 2020) and speaks widely on birthright citizenship… including giving a TEDx Talk in 2020 based on her book. In our conversation we talk about the 14th Amendment, Wong Kim Ark, Executive Order 14160 and Trump vs Barbara, how questions of the unknown drives fear, Constitutional Originalists, and so much more.   If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Today, one school program in San Francisco is connecting ethnic studies and environmental science, to nurturing belonging. Then, an immersive play that brings audiences to an important moment in local trans history. And, we hear about a little piece of fabric that represents the living history of San Francisco, and LGBTQ+ pride.

San Francisco laid many of the bricks that built the road to LGBTQ+ liberation, equality, and Pride. One of them takes the shape of a piece of fabric, that's also a piece of living history. In this story from 2023, by reporters Sandra Halladey and Alastair Boone, we hear about how the first Pride Flag came to be. And how the bit of cloth, the iconic rainbow, and the pride movement, live on. On the corner of 18th and Castro Street, images of the rainbow flag are ubiquitous. They're hanging in store windows, they stud the escalators in Harvey Milk plaza, and even make up the stripes in the crosswalk. But as we'll learn, the rainbow flag has only been a symbol for the Queer community for less than 50 years.

397 Year 9: StartDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos celebrate 8 years of the FOOBAR Show (and quietly admit that simply mentioning it is basically the anniversary special). They catch up on the last couple weeks: staying busy, missing an episode, and committing to keeping the show going whenever life allows.Florida stays undefeated: a man gets arrested outside a Taco Bell after allegedly exposing himself — and deputies find a live betta fish in his backpack. The fish gets handed off safely, then promptly earns the only correct name possible: Baja Blast.Geeking Out starts with The Boys sticking the landing. The finale brings the chaos and the gore, but also more emotional closure than expected — and the Foos talk through the big swings, the character wrap-ups, and why a hopeful ending still felt on-brand even if some people are nitpicking plot holes.Next up: Spider-Man Noir premieres with Nicolas Cage as an older, worn-down private investigator version of Spider-Man in 1930s New York — and the coolest part is you can watch it in true black-and-white or in a stylized color version. The Foos are watching it in black-and-white for maximum noir vibes and it's hitting like a detective story first, superhero story second.Then the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer finally drops, confirming the return date and teasing time-scattered X-Men, Apocalypse energy, and a bigger multi-season plan. The Foos dig into the hype, the tone, and what they hope stays consistent from the first season.They also recap seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu in ScreenX and break down what that format actually is: one main screen with projected side-wall visuals that kick in during big action and flight sequences. The verdict: it's basically a long, fun standalone Mandalorian episode — and that's exactly why it works.Steph closes Geeking Out with a heads-up for the Pokémon die-hards: Pokémon XP — the first fan convention hosted by The Pokémon Company International — is coming to San Francisco in August alongside the Pokémon Championships. There's a single-day pass interest list window and it's basically a lottery, so if you want in, get on it.Here's What I Would Do includes a follow-up victory lap from Alyssa (Costa Mesa) who turned off location sharing, survived, and refused to turn it back on even when her boyfriend got lost — plus a new letter from Brian (Temecula) whose wife keeps volunteering him for random community service missions without asking first.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntro8 Year Anniversary of the FOOBAR ShowFlorida man Taco Bell incident + betta fish named Baja BlastGeeking Out The Boys finale sticks the landingSpider-Man Noir Nicolas Cage black and white vs color versionsX-Men 97 Season 2 trailer return date and time scatter setupMandalorian and Grogu ScreenX reviewPokemon XP convention in San Francisco + ticket interest list lotteryHere's What I Would Do Alyssa location sharing updateHere's What I Would Do Wife volunteering husband Brian TemeculaOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroFOOBAR Show anniversary, The Boys finale, Spider-Man Noir, Nicolas Cage, X-Men 97 Season 2, Mandalorian and Grogu ScreenX, Florida man Taco Bell, betta fish Baja Blast, Pokemon XP San Francisco, Pokemon Championships, location sharing update, marriage volunteering spouse

What if everything you were taught about building wealth was designed for someone else's benefit, not yours? High-income professionals, especially doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and still ending up financially behind, buried in debt, crushed by taxes, and handing their futures over to Wall Street. In this episode of the Real Estate Investor Growth Network, Jen Josey sits down with Buck Joffrey, MD, a former cosmetic surgeon turned serial entrepreneur who has been involved in over $2 billion in real estate transactions, to expose exactly why the traditional financial playbook is quietly failing the highest earners in the room and what to do instead. Buck breaks down his mathematical wealth formula, a momentum-based framework built around mass, velocity, and leverage, that gives high-income professionals a repeatable system for building real, lasting passive income. He shares the pivotal moment that made him walk away from a prestigious surgical career at UCSF, why syndication investments unlock a world most people never even know exists, and how the short-term rental loophole gives busy professionals access to powerful depreciation benefits without requiring a real estate professional designation. He also gets candid about the operators who got crushed by rising interest rates and how to vet a deal and a sponsor without getting burned. This episode is essential listening for any high-income earner who feels like they are working harder than ever but not getting ahead financially. Whether you are a doctor, a business owner, or a seasoned investor looking to scale smarter, Buck's framework will shift how you think about money, passive income, and the power of investing like the ultra-wealthy. The window to position yourself in quality assets is open right now, and this conversation will show you exactly how to walk through it. 5 Powerful Takeaways The Mathematical Wealth Formula Revealed: Buck's three-variable framework of mass, velocity, and leverage gives high-income professionals a clear, repeatable system to multiply wealth without relying on luck or timing the market. Why Earning $500,000 a Year Can Still Leave You Broke: Between student loan debt, lifestyle inflation, and W2 tax exposure, high earners are often the most financially vulnerable, and Buck explains precisely why and how to fix it. The Short-Term Rental Loophole High-Income Earners Are Missing: Buck confirms that STR investing allows busy professionals to access real estate depreciation benefits typically reserved for full-time real estate professionals, creating a massive tax advantage hiding in plain sight. How to Vet a Syndication Sponsor Without Getting Burned: In a market where even respected operators have taken losses, Buck outlines the non-negotiable questions to ask about a deal's location, job growth, construction pipeline, and the operator's track record before writing a single check. Accredited Investor Access Changes Everything: Once you understand what becomes available at the accredited investor level, from private equity to pre-IPO opportunities to syndications, you realize the ultra-wealthy are not smarter, they simply play in a different game, and Buck shows you how to enter it. About the Guest Buck Joffrey, MD, is a former cosmetic and neurosurgeon who trained at the University of California, San Francisco, before making a bold pivot into entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial education. He has been involved in over $2 billion in real estate transactions and has spent more than a decade helping high-income professionals break free from the golden handcuffs of a high salary with nothing to show for it. Buck is the host of the Wealth Formula Podcast, one of the longest-running financial education shows for professionals, and the number one international bestselling author of 7 Secrets of Eternal Wealth. His unique superpower is reverse-engineering the strategies of the ultra-wealthy and translating them into a practical, math-backed framework that busy professionals can actually implement.

Broadway may be where Nashville turns the volume up, but The Gulch is where the city sharpens its edges. In this episode of Retire Southern, James Lewis sits down with the team behind one of Nashville's most compelling hospitality experiences: Executive Chef Brack May, Beverage Director Todd Johnston, and Executive Pastry Chef Natalie Moorer of The Thompson Nashville. From oysters sliding across the raw bar at Marsh House to espresso martinis climbing toward the rooftop at L.A. Jackson, this conversation explores what actually makes a hotel feel alive. Not just the food. Not just the cocktails. The feeling. Together, the group dives into: The ecosystem philosophy behind modern hospitality Seafood sourcing, raw bar culture, and caviar service at Marsh House Soft-shell crab yaka mein and elevated Southern seafood The rise of espresso martinis and rooftop culture at L.A. Jackson Building a pastry program that feels refined yet approachable Why locals genuinely spend time at The Thompson The team's version of the perfect Nashville weekend What Southern hospitality looks like when it is done correctly Chef Brack brings decades of experience from San Francisco to New Orleans, shaping Marsh House into one of Nashville's defining seafood destinations with an approach rooted in authenticity over performance. Todd has helped build both Marsh House and L.A. Jackson since opening day in 2016, creating spaces that feel elevated without ever becoming pretentious. And Chef Natalie quietly ties the entire experience together through desserts, pastries, brunch, and small details that guests remember long after checkout. What emerges is a conversation about hospitality, energy, rhythm, and the kind of places people return to because of how they feel when they are there. The Thompson Nashville is not trying to compete with Broadway. It is offering a different frequency altogether. A little calmer. A little sharper. A little more intentional. Read. Watch. Listen. Rooted in the South. Driven by Purpose. Built for Living.

Like so many people in the US, 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was struggling with housing insecurity. She worked at Best Buy in San Francisco, California and would often travel up to 4 hours a day to commute to work from wherever she was staying at the time. Sometimes the commute was so bad, Nicole would just crash on a couch until her next shift. This meant she would have to leave her two-year-old daughter Arianna with a babysitter for extended periods of time.   This was the reality of trying to make ends meet for Nicole. Eventually, one of her coworkers noticed what Nicole was going through just to get to work each day and offered for her and Arianna to move in with her. Nicole was ecstatic. She scraped together enough money to get Arianna a new bed and told the babysitter she was coming to pick up her daughter.   But she was met with resistance from the babysitter, saying they were out of town taking Arianna to Disneyland, she'd have to grab her daughter another day. Nicole was upset, obviously because she was ready to pick up her daughter but also because they didn't tell her they'd be taking Arianna out of town. According to Nicole's new roommate Goyette Williams, the plan was for Nicole to pick up her daughter on April 3rd, 2016. But on the night of April 1st, Nicole withdrew a large amount of money from her bank account, says she was going to meet the babysitter and would be back in 5 minutes.   A week later, Nicole's body was found in a local park. Nicole's killer has never been caught and Arianna remains missing to this day. 32-year-old Nicole Fitts was found murdered in McLaren Park in San Francisco, California on April 8th 2016. She was a black female with black hair and brown eyes.   Nicole's daughter, Arianna Fitts was last seen in Oakland California in February 2016. When she went missing, she was 2 years old, weighed approximately 45 pounds and was 2 feet tall. She is a black female with black hair and brown eyes. As of recording this episode, Arianna Fitts would now be 8 years old.   The San Francisco Police Department is offering a $250,000 reward for information about Nicole and Arianna. And Best Buy is offering an additional $10,000 reward.   If you see Arianna, call 911 immediately. If you have information on Arianna's whereabouts or anything related to the homicide of Nicole, contact the SFPD Homicide Unit at 415-553-1145, the SFPD Anonymous Tip Line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP 411 with SFPD at the beginning of the message, or visit sanfranciscopolice.org/tip.   Learn more about your ad choices.
