“Our new theme music was composed and performed by San Francisco musician Holly Mead!” - Eric Jansen.  

“Out In The Bay” is a weekly half-hour radio show broadcast on NPR affiliate KALW, 91.7 and streamed live worldwide on KALW.org Thursdays at 7:00PM Pacific Time.  They interview community leaders, newsmakers, authors, artists, and interesting personalities.  “Out In The Bay” is produced by Eric Jansen and Marilyn Pittman. 

I am honored to be a part of their weekly broadcast, and I would like to thank them for all the good things that they do.  So without any further ado - Thanks, Out In The Bay!  Equality for all!
