Don't miss the slideshows, podcasts and guest bios from our fabulous run
Our unique monthly show, featuring host Kurt Bodden, had a fabulous run starting in July 2007 at the Purple Onion in North Beach, and ending up in September 2008 at 330 Ritch in SOMA. We had a great time bringing more than three dozen fascinating guests (plus musicians!) together with our Talk Show Live: San Francisco audience during 2007 and 2008.
