Talk of the Bay with Bodie Shargel

11/12/24: Election Decompression with Skyla Tomine and Kayla Kumar

Odds are Donald Trump will be president next January. Many were upset by this result, many were surprised, and even more were surprised by the way it happened. Luckily, I had two great friends and activists join me to make sense of the campaign and the years ahead.

4/2/24: Rail and Trail Vote with Faina Segal and Barry Scott

I like trains, they go chugga-chugga choo-choo, but a vote from the County Board of Supervisors on March 26th would imply that Supervisors Koenig and McPherson do not. I talked with Faina Segal and Barry Scott from Santa Cruz County Friends of the Rail and Trail about what this vote means and where advocates go from here. Talk of the Bay airs on K-Squid.

3/19/24: West Cliff with Lola Quiroga and Steven Svete

West Cliff Drive is Santa Cruz's largest and most used recreational corridor. Despite this, most of its space is used for moving cars and parking cars. Due to recent damage in storms, change is coming to West Cliff. Transit advocates Lola Quiroga and Steven Svete joined me to discuss the conversations taking place and how listeners can get involved.

3/12/24: Gen Z with Josh Brons and Jason Park

Gen Z's political impact is much discussed. Are they too radical and apathetic, or are they informed, activated, and ready to shape America's political (near) future? Two leaders in politically activating Gen Z, Josh Brons and Jason Park joined me to discuss. Talk of the Bay airs on K-Squid. Tune in to episodes I host every other Tuesday from 5:00pm to 6:00pm.

3/6/24: Way Too Early Election Recap

Overthinking based on incomplete information is one of my passions, so I'm glad I get to share it with you, dear listener. I took this week's show to break down the day-after results from the March primary election. This included conversations with Kate Daniels, who looks headed for election to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, and Don Lane, who was integral in the campaign that looks to have defeated Santa Cruz's Measure M. We also got a special call in from Joy Schendledecker, who ran for Santa Cruz City Council District 3. Talk of the Bay airs on K-Squid.
