At the 8th Street Laundry in the Tenderloin, every three minutes of dry time costs 25 cents.

In this episode, we hear how doing laundry can mean more than just having clean clothes. We head to the Tenderlion neighborhood to wash a load at San Francisco’s Ministry of Laundry. Then, how some people in Point Reyes are fighting to keep their night sky dark. It's a special segment from the Nocturne podcast.
