MosaicSF. Yes, San Francisco.

Our Friends Warned Us

Peter — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 08:56:20 +0000

Our friends at Ralston360 warned us that just sitting back and enjoying the summer was gonna come and haunt us. Well here it is August and we’ve been spending all of our time at the beach. While we were out getting sandy, Ralston360 has gone and evolved into the new entity called Citrus. Now they are [...]

MosaicSF #019. Learning The Ropes.

Peter — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 22:01:37 +0000

Long before the Giants, Niners and Warriors began filling local stadiums and arenas, San Francisco’s sporting spotlight was cast squarely on the boxing canvas. From the bare-fisted brawls of the Gold Rush days until recent prize fights, it was a man’s world all the way. About the only way a woman [...]

MosaicSF #018. Second Life.

Peter — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 22:04:34 +0000

So we’ve all done reality TV. Whats next? How about a virtual reality website thats so realistic, you can earn a real-life six-figure salary? That’s what Reuben Steiger has been preaching for three years now. Reuben gave up a lucrative real-world job to become Chief Evangelist at Linden Lab, creators of a 3-D virtual-world known as [...]

MosaicSF #017. Mouth to Mouth.

Peter — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 16:21:30 +0000

With bands like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana rocking the local clubs – not to mention the entire planet – the heart of Rock & Roll was beating loud and clear in San Francisco in the late 60s. In the decades since then, well, not so much. Fortunately, one local band has brought [...]

MosaicSF #016. Roger Silver, San Franciscan

Peter — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 21:45:28 +0000

MosaicSF is all about finding the colorful characters and stories that make up the kaleidoscope of San Francisco. This week’s guest epitomizes our mission. Roger Silver’s whole life has been a mosaic of intriguing events that somehow connect into one fascinating story – a story that could soon make the best-seller list when it’s published [...]

MosaicSF #015. Pimpin’ ain’t easy.

Peter — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 21:08:55 +0000

Not every kid grows up to become exactly what he wanted to be when he was boy. Which is just as well. Our nation wouldn’t be a nation if it were made up entirely of astronauts, firemen and baseball players. To function, we also need our share of politicians, peanut farmers, plumbers and pimps. Yes, [...]

MosaicSF #014. Inside the Cab. part 1

Peter — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 22:22:29 +0000

This week’s audio show takes us behind the scenes, OK behind the cab driver, into the head of Howard, one of Luxor Cab’s most articulate drivers. How did we get Howard to reveal the intimate details of cab driving? Well we put Laura, Jennifer and Shannon in the back seat – this got his attention. Howard [...]

MosaicSF #013 The Happy Hour Tour.

Peter — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 21:33:12 +0000

MosaicSF #012. We love our Giants! part 2

Peter — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 20:36:34 +0000

Opening Day, Orlando Cepeda, the first inside the park look at AT&T Park. And, now, Ladies and Gentlemen….. MosaicSF gets to go inside the Giants control bunker to witness how the Giants organization tackles the audio and visuals for each game. We witness the all-mighty AV and computer geniuses in the master control booth who [...]

MosaicSF #011. We love our Giants! part 1

Peter — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 00:02:54 +0000

How much do we at MosaicSF LOVE our Giants? So much so that Laura practically sold her soul to the devil for a rare all-access pass into AT&T Ballpark for our latest podcast. Going behind the scenes to explore the ins and outs of the stadium is pretty much taboo unless your name happens to [...]

MosaicSF #010. Getting High in SF -or- Laura’s Trapeze Lessons

Peter — Fri, 26 May 2006 17:36:41 +0000

In this video (or what we like to call a Podlet) Laura is headed back to school. Only this time she heads to the Circus Center in San Francisco to learn to fly like the pros in Cirque de Soleil and other international shows. The Mission of Circus Center, founded in 1984, is to inspire [...]

MosaicSF #009. Opening Day at the San Francisco Giants AT&T Park (or is it SBC?)

Peter — Fri, 19 May 2006 17:03:46 +0000

Ok, Ok. Why would we run a show about opening day (that was last April 6th folks) in May? Well, it’s because we have assembled one kick-ass show about the crazies who would rather be at a baseball game than in their office cubicle. And, it will take your mind off of the current standings. [...]

MosaicSF #008. The Orlando Cepeda Interview. The San Francisco Giants’ Baby Bull.

Peter — Mon, 15 May 2006 16:55:14 +0000

Orlando Cepeda, known to Giants fans as the Baby Bull, recently invited us to his Bay area home to give MosaicSF Interviewer Mike Mehan an exclusive Interview. Some people thought that Orlando, who played for the Giants from 1958 to 1966, was more popular than his teammate Willie Mays. Why? Well just swing through these accomplishments: Orlando [...]

MosaicSF #007. The Mission District. Think Burritos, Firemen and Murals.

Peter — Mon, 01 May 2006 22:05:54 +0000

We don’t know about you but when we get a hankering for real Mexican food we head over to the Mission District. It’s not just that the Mission has some serious choices when it comes to burritos, tortas, quesadillas and tacos (Pastor, Suadero, Longaniza, Cabeza, Asada, you know what we are talking about) – it [...]

MosaicSF #006. The Richmond District Parties On. Well, Sorta.

Peter — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 06:09:34 +0000

The Richmond. It’s the neighborhood in the north east part of San Francisco. You pass through it on the way to the beach. But, if you are hungry, you also stop to eat pierogi, dim sum or a steaming bowl of pho. This fairly laid-back neighborhood is also the home to Clement Street and some of [...]

MosaicSF #005. The San Francisco Earthquake Anniversary Show.

Peter — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 17:09:19 +0000

Shake, rattle and roll that Podcast. Yeah, we know that’s lame but we couldn’t help it. This week we went out and talked with movers and shakers (OK, nuf!) in the world of earthquakes. No, you haven’t heard it all. Brian went out and talked it up with David Burkhart, a professional trumpeter, teacher at the San [...]

MosaicSF #004. San Francisco’s North Beach. Show II.

Peter — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 17:38:31 +0000

Welcome back to North Beach. Nope, we’re not done yet! Come in and enjoy the rest of Brian’s tour with FootTour’s David Spark. And in case you might have thought that Laura ran out of people to talk with, well, you are so wrong. In this episode, meet some of Laura’s older new friends, including Rebel, the [...]

MosaicSF #003. The Great SF Pillow Fight.

Peter — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:59:36 +0000

As we were planning our first audio Podcast last February (the North Beach Show) we were feeling, well, a bit tired, so we took our pillows down to the Ferry Buildingfor a nap – don’t you go to the Ferry Building to nap too? Well, what did we find? About 1,000 like-minded sleepy SF residents. [...]

MosaicSF #002. North Beach Exposed I.

Peter — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:55:21 +0000

OK, where to begin. Well, let’s begin at one of San Francisco’s most popular neighborhoods – North Beach. North Beach is well-known for its restaurants and bars, molto Italian food, its perch on the edge of Chinatown, and, of course, colorful neon signs to advertise the strip clubs and sex shops. But there’s an amazing history [...]

MosaicSF #001. The Beginning.

Peter — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:47:15 +0000

Hello! Step inside. You’ve come to the right place. Make yourself comfortable. Can we get you something to drink? Ah, where to begin… hmmm… well… Everyone knows San Francisco is a world-class city, but there’s more to it than the well-known icons: the Golden Gate Bridge, the Transamerica Building, Alcatraz, the nearby wine country… all of [...]
