HEY WE'RE BACK: Episode 2

From Jonathan Katz | Part of the HEY WE'RE BACK series | 07:09

Episode 2

Bigredsmall_small In episode two I take a brief trip into my past in search of an old friend. Then I try and lend a helping hand to the medical industry working with the theory that even more difficult than getting bad medical news is giving bad medical news . One of my musical heroes is Barry White. We met backstage one night in NYC, we hit it off and he invited me to call...he also gave me permission to record the conversation. He is not who you think he is. Finally, I gave computerized therapy a shot with mixed results. I tried this at the suggestion of family and friends who think I spend too much time alone.

Going retro: the art of hatmaking

From KALW | 08:00

San Francisco may not be known for its fashion, but it’s certainly a fashionable city – the item of the day might be a bulky scarf or skinny jeans, but in the first half of the 20th century and earlier, San Franciscans were really into hats.

Streets were often a sea of hats: rounded bowlers and their flatter cousins, the porkpies, creased fedoras, tall top hats, wide-brimmed ladies’ hats ornamented with flowers and birds.

Today, though, the hat’s popularity is a shadow of what it once. And local hatters and milliners that once ran thriving businesses from their trade have all but disappeared. If you do see hats milling about town these days, most likely they’re mass-produced in factories overseas.

But there’s at least one place where the local hat-making tradition goes on – behind a nearly 100-year-old storefront in the Richmond District. KALW’s Ali Budner visited Paul’s Hat Works, an old-fashioned men’s hat shop, to meet the four young women who have taken up this almost forgotten trade.

Miss Marsha Rides The Elephant

From Joseph Dougherty | Part of the Story Salon Live series | 03:20

Dan Farren tells of unexpected lessons learned under the big top.

Salonlogob_small Story Salon regular and producer Dan Farren describes an unexpected right of passage provided by Peanut, the elephant and Miss Marsha, the local t.v. weather girl. Story Salon began in a North Hollywood coffee house in 1996. The rules of the show are simple: Five to seven minutes of original material performed by the writer. This open policy, embracing a sort of "free-range" writing, results in one of the most eclectic hours of performance available. The stories in this series, recorded in front of a live audience, are a sampling of Story Salon's wide range of performers. The result is a unique blend of memoir and observation; sometimes funny, sometimes confessional, often controversial, always unique. Story Salon Live pieces are perfect as free-standing drop-ins or as part of any program focusing on the art of storytelling. Learn more at: www.storysalon.com
