Postcards from Northern California...
... What people are talking about around YOUR neighborhood.
Each week, we report news from all over Northern California through a weekly check-in, or "postcard," of what people are talking about in their area. Not always "news," but still worthy of a mention. It's our way to give voice to communities that may not make it into the everyday news cycle.
We play these in a random rotation throughout the week. Each postcard airs from Sunday morning at midnight through Saturday at 11:59:59 pm.
If you have an idea for a postcard from your community, email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and put your community's name in the subject line.
We archive all our postcards here. Have a listen!
