I loved his colorful descriptions of the earthquake and aftermath. I liked his article so much that I'm now interested in reading more of the articles he wrote for newspapers. I live an hour away from SF and love to spend time in this my favorite city. I now make it a habit of burning a few sparkletack episodes onto a CD whenever I visit and listening during my drive. In one of your earlier shows you said that words cannot express how much you appreciate us taking the time to listen to the show. But that goes for me too, as a listener - I cannot express how much I appreciate your efforts in putting together this fine podcast. sparkletack has become such an invaluable source for learning about and deepening my appreciation for this great city.
