Where can you listen?

The Golden City is a podcast about San Francisco’s past, present, and possible futures.

Host Walter Thompson brings a journalist’s eye and a longtime resident’s perspective to stories that don’t fit neatly into headlines: neighborhood culture, quiet shifts in the city’s identity, and questioning conventional wisdom about what it’s like to live in one of the world’s most iconic places.

No hot takes or nostalgia pieces. Just close-up observations about what it actually feels like to be here.
