S2: Trailer 1 Exploring the Waterfront
Welcome to Season 2 of the Beyond the Fog Radio !
To start us off we decided to explore the history of San Francisco’s Waterfront. It is in many ways the main event here, and is often why so many have come to visit our beautiful city even before the construction of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges! Since the Gold Rush era when the population boomed, San Francisco has been a vital destination for ships of goods and people from all over the world. The city’s Waterfront is a testament to this, and is why it has such a rich history and significance to the city to this day.
To give us a deeper look into the Waterfront, we interviewed three fantastic and knowledgeable people: Kimberly Brandon– President of the San Francisco Port Commission, John L. Burton– author of the Burton Act that gave the City and County of SF responsibility over the San Francisco Port, and Carl Nolte– journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle who authors the weekly column “Native Son.” All three give us a unique and curious take on the Waterfront of San Francisco.
We cannot wait to share our second season with you and thank you kindly for listening!
