Blank Canvas Radio's Podcast

Today I had DJ Maya in. We talked about some Tenderloin news and listened to some great music, maybe even some stuff you haven't heard before. (Hella Static-y at the end, but no worries!)

Disclaimer: I misspoke about Gavin Newsom, the person whom I actually quoted was Jerry Brown, not Gavin Newsom. I still stand by my opinion on the Tenderloin, but my apologies about the confusion.
