In this flashback episode from July 6, 2020, Total SF host Peter Hartlaub talks with San Francisco Chronicle reporter Kevin Fagan about his own experience with homelessness. Fagan has covered the beat for decades, including this new series about Oaklanders who once owned homes and now live on the streets. Fagan talks about his 2020 Homeless Project coverage, and introduces two songs that he's written about the homeless, and recalls his early music career, which included busking in the UK and New Zealand.

For Total SF's first Halloween episode, hosts Heather Knight and Peter Hartlaub meet with Terry Hamburg, director of the Cypress Lawn Heritage Foundation, for a tour of some of the Colma-based memorial park's most memorable graves. They visit Chronicle founders Charles and Michael de Young to get some of The Chronicle's gun-toting history, and talk about a decapitated cemetery resident and Hells Angels funerals. Plus, they pay respects to Willie McCovey and Lefty O'Doul. (Who really needs to be in the Hall of Fame.) Hamburg says people are welcome to stroll through the Cypress Lawn cemeteries, which encouraged visitors — including pets — to visit their open space during the pandemic.

George Horsfall lives in one of the Painted Ladies homes in San Francisco, and he's not just happy to live in the tourist landmark — he wants to share it with the world. Total SF hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight get a full tour from Horsfall of his blue Victorian on the edge of Alamo Square, made famous by uncountable movie appearances, tourist souvenirs and the opening credits of "Full House." He explains that it's a surprisingly quiet life, and that the tourists are mostly wonderful. After being the recipient of the small "pay it forward" moment years ago, he's decided to give tours of the home, which can be secured by checking out his Instagram @bluepaintedladyhousetour.

Hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight dive in the San Francisco Bay with "Why We Swim" author Bonnie Tsui, as a warm-up for their Total SF Book Club event on November 17 at the San Francisco Public Library. Tsui talks about an Icelandic legend who survived a frigid multi-hour swim, why San Francisco is a great swimming city and how newcomers can get started — and maybe work up to their own Bay swim. Hartlaub and Knight also recap their very cold but invigorating swim, including a cameo from former author Daniel Handler.

Welcome to episode 4 of the To Do San Francisco podcast! Go follow the To Do San Francisco page on Facebook or the @ToDoSFPodcast account on Twitter.In this episode, I share some of my favorite aspects of the San Francisco Public Library.Need a library account? San Francisco residents can sign up online during the COVID-19 stay at home time period. Library branches are only providing service in the doorway, calling it SFPL To Go Limited Library Service where you first login to your account on SFPL.org to place a hold request on the materials you would like. Next, you await an email that let's you know the material(s) await you at a particular branch for pickup. It's quite easy - and meant to keep everyone safe by asking that you wear a mask and follow other protocols when you do visit.Doing your best to stay at home during the pandemic? The San Francisco Public Library has a wonderful array of electronic resources, such as:E-books where you borrow the electronic versions of books for limited time periods. EPUB, Amazon Kindle, and PDF formats are common options.Online video - Definitely check out Kanopy and Kanopy for Kids as good, free substitutes for NetFlix among other options.Audiobooks - Maybe you'd prefer a book on tape, so-to-speak, though it is an audio file played back on your computer or other compatible device.e-Learning - check out Lynda.com online training courses, Gale courses taught online by experts, or learn a new language via Rosetta Stone or Mango!e-Music - provides music options in electronic format to get your groove on and move while we're getting through this pandemic one day at a time.Looking for an interesting place to take a walk?  Check out Salesforce Park at the Salesforce (formerly Transbay) Transit Center!On October 3rd, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass offered an online stream of 3 hours performances and history for their 20th year.  The video is available for viewing online through October 11th - so do not delay (and apologies if you're seeing this after October 11, 2020 - you will need to come to San Francisco when the next Hardly Strictly Bluegrass event happens - 2021 hopefully?). Please consider a contribution to Artist Relief - Hardly Strictly Bluegrass helped raise over $250,000 on Saturday for artists and their crews who can't work while performances are banned during the pandemic.Do you have your plan for making your voice heard in the November 3, 2020 Presidential Election?  Be sure to verify you are registered to vote first! Visit the Secretary of State's Voter Registration website if you need to register!If you are registered to vote in San Francisco, check the Voter Guide!

A bunch more talk about rules in 2021 and talk about the fine gentlemen that make up the SFPL!

Little tid bits on some NFL news and the future of the SFPL.

The Indian equity markets are staring at a firm start today. At 7:10 AM, the SGX Nifty was trading 75 points higher at 11,193 levels on the back of favourable global cues. Wall Street’s main indexes closed higher overnight as investors weighed progress in US government stimulus efforts against rising Covid-19 cases The Dow Jones rose 0.43 per cent, the S&P 500 gained 0.74 per cent, and the Nasdaq Composite added 1.67 per cent. Taking cues from the rally in Wall Street, Asian equities were trading firm in Tuesday's early deals. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was up 0.96 per cent, Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.33 per cent and Australian ASX 200 was up 0.94 per cent. Overall, MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.86 per cent. In commodities, Brent crude rose 0.88 per cent to $43.79 a barrel. On the results front, investors will first react to IT services firm Tech Mahindra's numbers in which it reported Rs 972 crore in consolidated net profit for June quarter. The figure was 20.9 per cent higher sequentially although on a year-on-year basis it remained flat. Revenue stood at Rs 9,106 crore, up 5.2 per cent YoY, even as it declined 4 per cent sequentially. Besides, a total of 132 companies, including UltraTech Cement, Nestle India, and IDBI Bank, are scheduled to announce their results today.  Meanwhile, India recorded 50,525 coronavirus cases in just 24 hours, according to Worldometer. The total Covid tally in India now stands at 14.82 lakh, including 33,448 deaths.  ITC might trade actively in today's session after it announced the acquisition of spices manufacturer Sunrise Foods Private Ltd in an all-cash deal valued at Rs 2,150 crore. According to the company, it has acquired shares of SFPL at an "upfront consideration of Rs 2,150 crores on a cash-free, debt-free basis". And, now a quick look at other top news of the day. After banning 59 mobile apps, including TikTok, almost a month ago, the Indian government has again cracked down on 47 more 'Chinese-origin' mobile apps with most being clones or lite variants of the ones earlier banned. The government is working on completing the stake sale process of about 23 public sector companies whose divestment has already been cleared by the Cabinet, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said yesterday. She said the government wants to sell stake in public sector companies at a time when it fetches the right price. 15th Finance Commission Chairman NK Singh yesterday said that India will see a sharp V-shaped recovery in the third and fourth quarter of the current fiscal, but FY21 GDP growth would ultimately be in negative territory as the coronavirus lockdown led to serious demand and supply dislocations. The Centre has revealed that it released around Rs 14,000 crore to states as compensation for their losses due to the GST for March 2020. This takes the total compensation released for FY20 to Rs 1.65 trillion, against a cess collection of Rs 95,444 crore for this purpose.

Tuesday, 6/9/2020 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Walter Thompson speaks with Diana Kapp and Emily Pilloton as they make the case for the power of “scrappy” in all industries, from female-led enterprises to STEM careers and construction sites. Coming from each of their backgrounds in thought leadership and female empowerment, Kapp and Pilloton articulate what it means to be scrappy and how to channel your inner scrappiness to catapult your own creativity. To create something out of nothing, to bite down and grit it out, to ask for help and offer it and to turn problems into questions, are skills that run consistently through the lives and the work of some of our most scrappy heroes. Diana Kapp, a business journalist, author and thought leader who has written about education and entrepreneurialism for most of the major media outlets including Forbes, Wall Street Journal and National Public Radio. In her book, Girls Who Run the World: 31 CEOs Who Mean Business, she highlights the entrepreneurs behind Rent the Runway, Stitch Fix, Pop Sugar, Glossier, Minted, Soul Cycle, Mitu, etc. Emily Pilloton, Founder and Executive Director of Girls Garage, a Berkeley-based nonprofit design and building workshop for girls. Author of the new book Girls Garage: How to Use Any Tool, Tackle Any Project, and Build the World You Want to See (Teenage Trailblazers, STEM Building Projects for Girls). She is a leader in empowering girls and young women in studying and working in STEM professions. Emily’s first book was New Book Design Revolution: 100 Products That Empower People. Moderator, Walter Thompson, Senior Editor at TechCrunch and previously City Editor for Hoodline, a hyperlocal news service. An award-winning journalist, he also hosts The Golden City, a podcast that presents stories from San Francisco's past, present and future. Walter Thompson The Power of Scrappy Event Series The Power of Scrappy is a new event series from San Francisco Public Library and Friends of the San Francisco Public Library. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all had to change our ideas of normal in all aspects of our lives from personal relationships to education to business. We have to learn to embrace the unknown, the making do and of course, being scrappy. These events provide a platform to discover how entrepreneurs, writers, artists, educators and community leaders are using their talents and skills to master the power of scrappy. The event series will be virtual and when possible, be the “new normal” in-person events.

For this episode of the Library Friends Podcast, we’ll be speaking with Electronic Resources Librarian Daniel Matsumoto, about the robust eResources that are available with your library card. We will also talk about how the Library is handling the influx of traffic to these platforms. Daniel has been working in libraries for most of his career, and you may have seen him manning the circulation desk at the Main a couple of times a week.

When we think libraries, many of us think-  BOOKS! But, libraries are so much more and often the heart of a community. They also play a critical role during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, we explore the context of libraries and their role in communities – both everyday… and during a crisis. Joining me is an incredible panel representing various aspects of the San Francisco Public Library. Michelle Jeffers is Chief of Community Programs & Partnership at SFPL. Marie Ciepiela is Executive Director of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library. And, Jaena Rae Cabrera is Acting Branch Manager and West Portal Branch… and front-line essential worker during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hey guys! going through the usually with officially pod mics!…but it kept cutting out because the computer can't handle the commissioners lol discussing business as usually with about 4-5 cut outs! ahh, but it sounds good. try to enjoy.

Tom in Tahoe, Seth solo and trade deadline is upon us!

Here we give week 8 predictions, trading is rising, Gabe has no more QBs, and Mikey is maturing...

Recaps, cigar bets, Andre gets a get well soon card, still can't find Kaleb and Seth is BACK!

I'm flying solo on this one! Here I talk to myself for 31 minutes about predictions, cigar bets, realize that leagues are won by kickers, and celebrate the fact that my voice might sound a little better using an ACTUAL microphone. Enjoy!

Week 4 predictions, cigar bets, Gabe sits in, and why is Andre not winning games?!?!

Here we recap week 2, discuss our week 3 predictions, state that Tom has a right to Austin’s first born and shoot down the DST trade strategy. Plus, a new sponsor!

What if, in the early days of your new job, you were tasked with these two things: 1. Moving a fabled city's collection of thousands of historical records (official papers, photos, ephemera, etc.) to a new building, and 2. Essentially establishing and adding to that city's archives. That's what life was like for San Francisco city archivist Susan Goldstein back when the public library moved into its current building. In this podcast, Susan talks in-depth about her work and our city's official archive. If you're half the history nerd that we are, get ready. And be sure to listen through to hear how you can experience the collection first-hand. If you missed Part 1 with Susan, when she talked about her life leading up to the job at SFPL, please go back and listen. Film photography by Michelle Kilfeather

In this podcast, Avengers vocalist Penelope Houston talks about the legendary Sex Pistols show at Winterland that the Avengers opened. It's a story that includes Sid Vicious ODing (but surviving) at the afterparty. She goes on to talk about her solo musical career and resurrecting the Avengers. She ends with her work at the SF Public Library putting together its punk rock collection. If you missed Part 1, when Penelope talked about growing up and moving to San Francisco, please go back and listen. Penelope will be playing a solo show Aug. 30 at the Ivy Room in Albany.

Here we lay out some helpful strategies used by others to pick the perfect dynasty team.

The two John's are joined by a special guest this week, Cove Rangers striker Paul McManus. McManus talks about Cove's historic promotion from the Highland League to the SFPL set up, and his moment of joy in scoring the final goal of the 7-0 aggregate win over Berwick Rangers, consigning them to the Lowland League. He talks about the rise of the club, how they overcame disappointment of last seasons playoff heartache against Cowdenbeath to go one better, the standard of football in the Highland League, his partnership with Mitch Meginsson up front and his battles with injury this campaign. Naturally, he talks about the celebrations over the weekend and not needing to buy a drink in Aberdeen! A tactical substitution sees Paul depart and replaced by Krys to round off the rest of the weekends action. Clyde sealed promotion to League One following their playoff win over Annan Athletic. It wasn't to be three out of three promotions from the playoffs as Queen of the South comfortably saw off Raith Rovers to preserve their Championship status. The Premiership playoff will be contested between St Mirren and Dundee United, after Hamilton secured a sixth term in the top flight with victory over St Johnstone. Both Saints and United go into the two legged playoff in decent form, so it's a tough one to call. At the top end, Kilmarnock secured third place and guaranteed Europa League football with a late winner over Rangers. It proved to be the perfect goodbye for Steve Clarke, who left to become Alex McLeish's successor as Scotland manager, the lads agree it's the right appointment. Despite victory over Hibs, Aberdeen finished fourth and will now be hoping that Celtic defeat Hearts in the upcoming Scottish Cup Final in order to secure European Football for the sixth season running. Chat moves onto this weekends Scottish Cup Final between Celtic and Hearts. Will it be a triple treble for Celtic or can Hearts cause an upset? Talk then turns to Junior football as Auckinleck Talbot clinched their League title last week. Tweet us @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsInstagram - sffpodcast
