Flooding, an economic slump, legal battles and raw sewage; check out my story about Alameda’s island origins.

.@MatthewMBooker, I’d like to interview you for a story for KQED’s Bay Curious podcast. Can you get in touch at pbartolone[at]kqed.org?

@sjgoldstein @colemaninsights I missed the webinar today. Can you share the link to the recording? Thank you!

Your podcast may not lend itself to a video strategy, but 1 of 4 YouTube p'cast users say they can't find their favorite podcast on YT. As they say with the lottery, "you can't win if you don't play." @colemaninsights #PM23 more on our 9/7 webinar:bit.ly/3Ee4NY6

@erinnstumpf I’ve made this mistake several times before. I just can’t keep my mouth shut when people ask me questions.

Pro tip: DO NOT chat it up with the agent or client on the other side of your transaction. It will only erode your ability to negotiate. What they know about you, your motivation, your timeline, etc can only be used against you. I know you’re just trying to be nice. Don’t do it.

What happens when a wounded Iraq war veteran uses a Taoist philosophy called "wuwei" to help deal with anger? Good story, and useful tips, too. greatergood.berkeley.edu/podcasts/item/…… #happinesspod

When we have negative feelings, sometimes the first instinct is to fight or control them. But what if *accepting* is the way to a better mental space? Check out this podcast episode I produced about a Taoist practice called “wuwei” for #happinesspod. greatergood.berkeley.edu/podcasts/item/…

Just how hard would it be to convert all that empty office space in San Francisco to housing? Here's my deep dive into that question for @kqedbaycurious @KQED: kqed.org/news/11955554/…

@johnstempinNPR Congratulations. What a huge accomplishment!

My clothing sizes are now the same as they were right after college. No matter the type or difficulty of your journey, you too can acheve your goals. Believe it. It takes self respect and a willingness to get back on the horse every time you fall off. You. Can. Too. 2/2

A personal note. I began my healthy weight journey in June, 2007. Today, 5847 days later, I achieved my eventual goal of losing 200 pounds! No surgery, no gimmicky diets, just self respect and a little Rybelsus which probably helped with about 30 pounds. 1/2 @MyFoodDiary

When Wade Goodwyn's voice came on the radio, my ears perked up. He would actually tell a story, not just report the news. His voice was authentic and expressive. He brought us to the places he reported from. npr.org/2023/06/08/116…

Wow, this does sound like a groundbreaking program. I wonder if it will promote bilingualism as well. Looks like it’s not available in every zip code though, my toddler’s not eligible. Here’s how to sign up: library.ca.gov/services/to-pu…

@jigarmehta Looks like a Northern California sky in August.

Landing at LGA in NYC. It's like the Earth is trying to tell us something. What could it be?

You asked, we answered. Are clean cars improving California's air quality? My latest piece, for @kqedbaycurious @KQED. kqed.org/news/11951866/…

@BradB_Outdoors Where did you see it? Yolo bypass?

I've seen a number of coyotes around Sacramento, but none this close. He was about 35 feet away from me. We had a stare off. I got my picture. And he went on his way. #WildlifeWednesday

Putting aside your Lord of the Rings references and Santa folklore, what does your imagination tell you about the height of ELVES? Like, are they smaller than gnomes, and are we talking inches or feet.

The beloved Children's @FairylandCA seems to exist "outside of the bounds of time." But will it change as culture changes around it? Well, maybe a little. My latest, for @kqedbaycurious. kqed.org/news/11948422/…

.@Drpapas86 Hi Dr. Guzman, I am a producer with The Science of Happiness podcast. We would love to have you on our show. Could you message me with your direct phone number? We'd love to have your insights!

Well said.

.@scottalukas, I would love to talk to you about the history of Children's Fairyland in Oakland for a story I'm doing for KQED in San Francisco. Are you available for 20-30 minutes this week?

Power’s still out at my place in #ElCerrito /East Bay. I went to 6 different cafes, the open ones either didn’t have wifi or power outlets. Thanks to public libraries, I’m working, charging and staying warm.
