This is my go-to podcast for deeper dives on Bay Area stories. The hosts’ interview styles are very effective, and the podcast brings on a good mix of reporters and public figures. The hosts ask meaningful questions which allow their subjects to speak candidly about various relevant topics. I always learn something when I listen to 5th & Mission and appreciate the work they are doing to provide these important and sometimes controversial stories in a relatively unbiased manor. I need to remove a star because one particular reporter, Rachel Swan, is impossible to listen to. She cannot put a sentence together between the constant iterations of “um”, “like”, and “you know?”. No, I don’t know... that’s why I’m listening to the episode. The way she speaks is so distracting that I can’t pay attention to what she’s saying, so now I just delete the episodes she’s on.

I was hoping for a local perspective on strong arguments for and against the issues. Instead, I got people who had already made up their minds trying to sell a crowd with superficial arguments. And instead of focusing on policy details, the commentary included meta-commentary like poll results.

I am a big fan of Heather Knight’s articles in the SF Chronicle because it’s so important to get local news. Loved the recent podcast on JFK Drive and the local trivia questions like favorite burrito shop in SF!

Digging the pod, Heathers doing good and growing on me. Keep on going and don’t listen to all the hate reviews, it’s hard to please everyone...
