A Season in Hell #62: Radio Valencia: Talkin’ Election Night Blues

November 7, 6pm

–


Once again it’s election time. I tell ya, in San Francisco the freaks come out on Election Night. Per usual I’ll be hosting United Educators of San Francisco’s and SFUSD Social Studies teacher Ken Tray on my show. This is perhaps the third year in a row that he has co-hosted the pre-election day show with me. We’ll be talking about the ballot initiatives as well as the hotly contested mayors race (when isn’t it hotly contested in this town?), sheriff’s race and DA’s race.

I’ve got lots of election-themed music as well.

Here’s the link to the podcast.

A Season in Hell #53: Radio Valencia: SF Mayoral Candidate John Avalos

September 5, 6pm

It’s election time once again in the city by the bay, which means lots of posturing for the many candidates. It’s funny, in this town the Republican party has to endorse the most right-leaning Democrat. Ha! Tonight I have District 11 SF Supervisor, and mayoral candidate John Avalos. John is THE progressive candidate this time around. His background is in education and grass roots work with local non-profits. I didn’t hold back. Enjoy the interview.
