Due to a technical difficulty on our AT&T broadcast circuit, we had to air an "evergreen" show in place of this wonderful program, which we produced live at The Chapel. You can hear it now anyway for a week on the KALW.org website under the Music Player tab. This show will air on the WCL radio network in June.
We're sure it is only a coincidence that the phone circuit failed the day we featured a marvelous history of the phone phreakers by Phil Lapsley and and interview with Hedrick Smith who produced a documentary for PBS on how the phone company shares all your data with the government.
From The Chapel at 777 Valencia (b/t 18th & 19th) in the SF Mission, SEDGE welcomes:
