Hear Here is a project of KALW 91.7FM Local Public Radio, designed to illuminate life in Oakland and San Francisco. Our producers are asking residents to tell us about their favorite places – and their lives – in these two cities. We’ll share what we’ve learned on air, online, and on stage, drawing out the common threads that tie us together.

_How does it work?_
You tell us about one of your favorite places in your OAK or SF neighborhood by recording a short audio message on the Hear Here website, and we follow up and schedule a time to meet you at that place. We’ll bring our microphones; you bring the story! We’ll ask why this place matters to you and spend some time recording its natural sound. The stories we collect will go on our Listening Map for visitors to hear and explore. Some will even air on KALW 91.7FM.

It’ll be fun! And you’ll get to know the Bay Area through the people who shape it, day in and day out.
