Chapter 399 - "Letting Things Build, Letting Things Breathe" ...as read by Sean Leary of Loma Prieta

Today I’m stoked to finally share my chat with Sean Leary, frontman for Loma Prieta. Loma’s new album, Last, is out this Friday, June 30th, on Deathwish Inc. Sean talks about how becoming a musician felt inventible, the term screamo, the weirdness of recording during Covid restrictions, joining Jeromes Dream, and more.

Read the special reports from Mission Local that raised concerns about gas lines in retrofitted buildings here.

I was an 18-year-old kid heading to the Bay Bridge World Series on October 17, 1989. 

The man who would become my cousin one day, Gerry Shannon, was a San Francisco firefighter of 19 years on that fateful day. 

He is a very modest man and as many first responders claim, he was just doing his job.

But on that tragic day in San Francisco history, he saved a woman's life. 

This is part of that story. Please share the Podcast episode with everyone you know. 

Gerry was actually played by actor Scott Valentine in the movie that was made based on Gerry's heroism, AFTERSHOCK. 

This is a “telescoped” reel of audio from the period between 5pm and 6pm on October 17, 1989 as KCBS Radio swings into gear after the Loma Prieta Earthquake—the first hour of coverage following the 5:03 pm quake. Jan Black is the studio anchor. Stan Bunger and Mike Woodley are at Candlestick Park.

Of note: a pre-recorded  safety announcement, which urged listeners to consult the front of their phone books for detailed information.  The first reports of the destruction of the elevated Cypress Freeway came 32 minutes after the quake struck. The first magnitude readings were broadcast nearly 40 minutes after the quake hit (originally referred to as 6.9 in Hollister area).  The first reports of the failure of a portion of the eastern span of the Bay Bridge came more than 45 minutes after the quake.
