A candid discussion on the prevalence of bipping (a particular style of burglarizing cars) in Oakland and the broader Bay Area today. We examine the surge in recent years and the underlying factors contributing to its rise, and discuss our own views on the culture surrounding it and where we'd like to see things go from here.
A trip through Oakland's various iconic and beloved establishments ranging from bygone places we miss to new places we enjoy, as well as classic spots we still frequent. Notable tangents include audiobooks, boxing, cannabis then & now, sideshows & a certain man named Sylvester who just might've planted the seed for this podcast 35 years ago.
A second helping of Oakland sports nostalgia with a side of lively debate. We touch on a few things missed in Part 1, debate some player & team legacy rankings, and scratch the surface of some deeper questions around the nature of sports, fandom and the connection between team & community.
A brisk walk through the last 6+ decades of Oakland professional sports history from Al Davis to Rickey Henderson to Stephen Curry, sprinkled with the usual reminiscing and debate
Exploring our own origins in Oakland and reflecting on how The Town has changed over the years

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
