We had more than 175 people watch the podcast today! For those who participated by listening, commenting or asking questions, we hope you not only enjoyed the conversation but got valuable insights out of it. A big thanks to Emilie Raguso from The Berkeley Scanner who took the opportunity to speak openly with Ovis hosts and respond to the SFGATE editorial piece that criticized her reporting of the recently elected Alameda County DA.
