About the Podcast

ONCE UPON A BAY is a podcast celebrating San Francisco Bay. It's a collection of stories about the Bay’s natural & human history, the people who love and care for it, and the powerful connection between culture and place. 

San Francisco Bay is the largest Pacific estuary in the Americas. It is stunningly beautiful, biologically diverse, and has supported people, plants, birds & fish for millennia. It is also under intense pressure from population growth, landfill, industrial activity, water diversion, and climate change. Join us to meet the people who care about the Bay. Meet the creatures who live in, around, and on it… and learn why the Bay matters so very much. 

 

Join us in loving San Francisco Bay.

Your Hosts

Podcast hosts are Michael Herz, San Francisco Baykeeper Emeritus, and his wife, Kate Josephs. For decades, Mike has been telling Kate stories about the Bay and its people. Now, they’re living on a trawler in San Pablo Bay and revisiting all those stories, meeting new heroes, and finding new adventures to recount – all in celebration of San Francisco Bay.
