““All the news, to keep you rooted.” Erica Cruz Guevara and company offer great local, Bay Area journalism. From the North Bay to the South, from the Town to the City, I hear stories that are trending like Oakland’s homeless or the recent South Bay ballot measure for a no-caste vote. But more...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening for years and I notice a change in the narrative. Lately, this podcast has become too liberal. It’s very bias and only states information from the left point of view.
I’m not happy that it’s pro-BLM even though the BLM “nonprofit” has proven to be a scam.”

“I really appreciate that the podcast can focus on one issue in depth in each episode. However, is it possible to also include a small section of other day-to-day stuff, such as weather, major public transport outages, etc?”

“If you have a liberal bias even for The Bay Area, this is part of your echo chamber. If you are looking for balanced views or at least all sides, this has no value. If you do not speak Spanish, you cannot follow many stories. This used to be solid journalism. Very sad 😔”

“The (first of many I’m sure) People’s Park episode was particularly interesting and informative. Thank you for the in-depth background, reporting, and reality-check. This is the kind of event/issue/location/situation that I feel this podcast is uniquely suited for.”

“Such a great podcast. I totally relate. And especially heavily related with a recent episode with Ericka. I’m from Fairfield, and it’s a balancing act of either Bay Area or Sac living. Love the show, can’t wait for more from Ericka! Missing your voice Devin!”

“I used to like this podcast and appreciated the deep dives into local issues. Lately, the topics have all been social injustice of the week. It’s not journalism when only one side is presented. This podcast, and the left, are so obsessed with race and oppression.”

“Don’t listen to this podcast if you’re looking for a balanced reporting. The stories are done from a social justice, leftist perspective. There is a very clear editorial bent to every episode (namely that capitalism is evil). I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard the host used to do stand up...”Read full review »

“I really can’t say how much this podcast helps me keep my sanity. Without the morning commute, daily sights sounds and smells of a before-times day and little ways we get news throughout the day it’s so easy to fall into your own oblivion. The Bay reminds me that there’s something bigger than me....”Read full review »

“Devin + Ericka + Alan and the entire team at The Bay podcast are ~phenomenal~ at getting to the heart of a local story. If you’re tired of reading/watching local news just touch the surface here in the SF Bay Area, LISTEN to KQED’s The Bay.
Don’t see a Bay Area story being told?

“Can you please not subsidize and support the terrible regime of the CCP and its puppets in Macau? The fact that you’re running Beijing-sponsored ads for Hong Kong’s neighbor that capitulated to the PROC while Hong Kongers are fighting for the survival of their democracy is a bit gross.”
