A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

For those in the know, it’s been a long road from where it began to where women’s professional basketball is today. The WNBA got its start in 1997, but it wasn’t the first women’s league. The women’s professional basketball league formed in 1978 with franchises across the country, even a team in San Francisco—the Pioneers. And at the same time the W was getting its start, the American Basketball League was working to get more women on the court, too. While the WBL and ABL didn’t last, their formation spoke of a craving to see women’s basketball teams compete and to see more women hoop. And now, the WNBA, almost 30 years later, is not only surviving—it’s thriving, reaching a golden hour of popularity, global attention, and the kind of popularity it's been seeking all along.

Research shows that climate change isn’t just something that’s negatively affecting the planet, it’s having a deep impact on our mental health as well. Every new wildfire, every flash flood, every heatwave brings on another level of eco-anxiety in many people. A survey conducted by UNDP, Oxford University and GeoPoll, found that 56% of respondents think at least once a week about the problems caused by the climate situation and these feelings can be even stronger in younger people. Of course, it can feel overwhelming to see all that our environment is going through and wonder what can be done - or to have experienced an extreme weather event first-hand, to carry trauma from that and not know how to heal from it. It’s a big conversation and so we’re turning to Jennifer Silverstein, a licensed clinical social worker in Sonoma County, who is working to build resilient communities, especially for the youngest and most vulnerable members, that can face unfolding ecological crises.…

Back in 2017, three black trans women founded the Compton’s Transgender Cultural District in San Francisco - now more commonly known as The Transgender District. Its original name pulls upon the history of the first documented uprising of transgender and queer people in the country, the Compton’s Cafeteria Riots of 1966. Of course, the history of trans people in the Bay Area - in particular in San Francisco - runs deep, so much so that in 2021, advocates within the Transgender District got the month of August to be recognized as Transgender History Month in the city and county of San Francisco. Then California took that a step further last year, when the state assembly voted in favor of making Transgender History Month a statewide designation. The first full state recognized Transgender History Month is the August we are in right now. The legacy of trans people is what Andrea Horne is focused on and she’s this week’s guest on In Depth. Horne is a former actress, model, jazz singer - and she’s been a fixture in the trans community of San Francisco for over 40 years, working to support the black and brown transgender women in the Tenderloin.

And there are people right here in the Bay Area that are taking that declaration to heart - The Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative has been doing the good work of supporting young women in the sports world for years, by engaging with the community, with the coaches and the teachers, and by encouraging girls to take up space on the field or the court.

Project Roomkey, Governor Gavin Newsom’s initiative that turned hotel and motel rooms across the state into temporary shelters for the homeless during the height of the covid pandemic, is the subject of a recent independent evaluation. The goal of this report is to figure out if Project Roomkey was successful in providing the protection and services it promised.
