Episode 1: What is Street Sheet?
Dec 09, 2019

We start off with the headlines impacting homeless people, from Trump's atrocious new pick for the federal Interagency Council on Homelessness to the "Love Our City Eco-Blitz" announced by Mayor Breed's office, to the impending eviction of mentally ill people living at VanNess Manor. Then listen to a conversations between Street Sheet editors Quiver Watts and TJ Johnston about the history and mission of the Street Sheet newspaper as it celebrates its 30th year in print.
