San Francisco: Mechanical Ghosts

Darren Hill Season 1 Episode 44

Send us a text

Driverless cars, the howls of sea lions, a cable car ride, Coit Tower views, and a walk through Chinatown all feature in this light-hearted San Francisco episode of the story pilgrim.

In Episode 44, Darren explores the quirky contrasts of a city where machines glide silently through the streets and the past hums loudly from every corner. This is a step away from the usual philosophical deep dives — a more playful, curious journey through hills, seals, espresso-fuelled detours, and one retro diner straight out of a George Lucas film.

Come for the self-driving ghosts, stay for the dodgy jokes and unexpected joy.
