The Fifth and Mission team is not producing any new episodes this week. Instead, we are sharing some of our favorite past episodes that exemplify what we've loved about making this show. Today's pick is from 2017, chosen by It's All Political on Fifth and Mission host, Joe Garofoli. In episode 9 of It’s All Political (recorded in October 2017), CNN star Van Jones comes to the Chronicle archive podcast studio to talk about his new book “Beyond the Messy Truth,” his early years as an activist in the Bay Area and his friendship with Prince. Theme music is "Cattle Call" by Randy Clark’s Crowsong. Opening signature by Leah Garchik.| Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?
