Sparkly:

If you love San Francisco as much as I or are even kinda curious, you must download any episode of Sparkletack, a narrative podcastical journey into the stories that make up San Francisco. I’ve already learned about Starr King (Abolitionist and the only person honored with burial within city limites), San Francisco baseball history and the origins of the verb "to shanghai", invented right here in our fair city.

I love to learn new stuff.

Produced and hosted by webdesigner Richard Miller, each episode is reseached up an down and runs 40 minutes to an hour. I listen in the car.

Miller claims each episode is between 20-40 hours of reading up, making the whole thing a complete labor of love. More than I could ever do.

Subscribe immediately. Do not let this man’s work, or the lost sirens of our city go unheard (via Laughing Squid).
