Lake Merritt Street Vendors / DJ Umami

When the pandemic increased unemployment in the Bay Area, some Oaklanders turned to street vending at Lake Merritt to make ends meet, we’ll hear how they’re fighting to keep their place at the lake. Then, we’ll meet KALW’s new Monday night music curator DJ Umami. And, we listen to a reading from a children’s noir novel from author Lou Cook, set on the San Francisco waterfront.
