New to podcasts? Here’s how you listen.
Total SF hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight meet with Bishop Megan Rohrer and record a podcast episode in their most unusual location yet — the Ferris wheel at the Music Hall in Golden Gate Park.
Rohrer talks about staying positive in 2022 and when resolutions can lead to unnecessary guilt and shame. They also give a blessing to San Francisco and talk about the city’s potential — even in frustrating times.
This is Rohrer’s third appearance on Total SF and the first since his confirmation as the first transgender bishop in the Lutheran Church. Hartlaub and Knight have recorded at the base of Sutro Tower, on several slow streets, and on top of a drag club, but never in a moving vehicle.
A culture podcast from San Francisco featuring celebrity guests, non-celebrity guests, personalities from the San Francisco Chronicle and a celebration of life in the Bay Area. Hosted by cultural critic Peter Hartlaub in the Chronicle basement historical photo archive, with frequent appearances by his #TotalSF partner, columnist Heather Knight. Hartlaub, who was the Chronicle’s newsboy from 1983 to 1985, began writing for the publication in 2000. Hartlaub writes stories about Bay Area culture, produces podcasts, and browses the Chronicle archives for his work as an author of the Our San Francisco history column. He lives in Alameda.
