We’re working on a new plan to host live events as California opens back up, but in the meantime, we are doing a podcast about life in post-pandemic California -- how COVID-19 has changed us all and what will everything, from healthcare and travel to parenting and dating, look like in the Golden State going forward.
Episodes drop every weekend through the end of July.

Episode 17: A Very Different Type of Food Scene
Nearly a third of California’s restaurants permanently closed in the past year, and two-thirds of workers temporarily lost their jobs. As the state opens back up, how many restaurants will reopen, and will they bounce back?
We talk with two people who write about California’s dining scene about what we should expect now when we go out to eat.
GUESTS
* Janelle Bitker, food enterprise reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle
* Javier Cabral, editor of LA Taco

Episode 18: Redesigning the Art World
California's arts institutions are dealing with budget cuts and revenue shortfalls due to the pandemic, and a reckoning with systemic racism in the art world.
What progress have they made in diversifying their staffs, their artwork, and their audiences over the past year? And will any of us ever look at art, and the meaning of it, in the same way again?
We talk with two people who present great works of art to the public, but do it in very different ways.
GUESTS
* Thomas Campbell, CEO and director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and former CEO/director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City
* Andre Jones, a.k.a. Natty Rebel, artist and founder/director of the Bay Area Mural Program

California has always been known as an innovative place. Credit all that to a mix of Groundbreakers – inspiring people who are
setting trends, starting movements, creating events and trying to improve things in the region around us.
We’ve created a regular “gathering place” -- events rotating through Sacramento’s most fun, interesting and lively places -- for California Groundbreakers to talk about what they’re doing, and for people to come listen and get informed, engaged, inspired to help, and ready to make their own type of change in the Golden State.
