KITCHEN SISTERS AUDIO FESTIVAL: The Model City / Part 02

This week, we’re focusing on the neighborhoods of San Francisco.

On today’s show, we’ll hear part two of a three-part series about the reanimation of a ghostly vision of San Francisco — a massive, three-dimensional model of the city that was crafted — street by street, building by building — by 300 artisans as part of FDR’s WPA project that put artists to work during the Great Depression.

The Kitchen Sisters Audio Festival is a month of Bay Made episodes featuring the work of the Bay Area's own Kitchen Sisters.

Over the course of the month, we will dig deep into their 40-plus year archive of audio gems: profiles of everyday people just outside the frame of history. And we'll talk with them about their mission, their connection to the Bay Area, lessons they've learned and stories they can't get out of their minds.

Want more stories from The Kitchen Sisters? You can dig into their entire archive at kitchensisters.org and subscribe to The Kitchen Sisters Present podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
