Ep 128: Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk continue exploring the history of cities in the US, this week discussing San Francisco. They talk about who settled it and how their influences continue, the city's role in the rise of homosexuality in America, and how its cultural climate is a signpost for what happens when denial of family becomes the norm.

A Brief History of Power
Every week Dr. Adam Koontz and Rev. Jonathan Fisk check their privilege against the backdrop of the wide and varied annals of history. You don‘t have to believe the Babel about the sons of Noah being a rosetta for understanding the postmodern global politic to agree that an intellectual dark web exists because history always rhymes, no matter what you try to do about it. You might not save the world by listening, citizen, but that doesn‘t mean you won‘t save someone. Because knowing is only the first half of the battle.
