Mornings with Madden: My Radio Life with an American Legend
Oct. 29, 2024
Stan Bunger is an American broadcast journalist who was the morning co-anchor at KCBS in San Francisco for more than 20 years. Bunger is a 1973 graduate of Leigh High School and received his B.A. in Broadcast and Electronic Communications from San Francisco State University. He was inducted to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame in 2010 and to the San Francisco State University Alumni Hall of Fame in 2011. Join us while he tells stories from his new book, "Mornings with Madden". ​Despite his international fame, there was a side of football legend known only to those who listened to San Francisco morning radio. San Francisco is where John Madden grew up, lived, & died and where, for decades he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station. It was a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his own brand of wit and wisdom. In "Mornings With Madden, Stan - who was on the other side of that radio mic - illuminates this larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts.

The History of Gordon Biersch & How to Make Beer!
Nov. 19, 2024
Dan Gordon, CEO of Gordon Biersch Brewing Company, has earned a reputation as one of America's leading brewing engineers. Dan was the first American in more than 40 years to graduate from the prestigious 5-year brewing engineering program at the world-renowned Technical University of Munich in West Germany. Dan, who was born in San Jose in 1960, entered the program after earning an economics degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1982. After completing the world's most advanced brewing program, Gordon returned to California and joined forces with restaurateur Dean Biersch to take advantage of a new state law allowing "brewery" restaurants. In 1988, the partners opened their first Gordon Biersch brewery restaurant in Palo Alto. Now, Dan directs the operations at his state-of-the art canning and bottling San Jose brewery, the 15th largest brewing company in the country.
