Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and D talk to journalist Ali Winston, journalist and author of one of our favorite books, The Riders Come Out At Night. We get into the Oakland Police Department’s struggles to come out from under federal oversight. We also get into the threat of ICE and the decline of legacy media.
