Bonus Ep. 5—Call It FRISCO Part Two—Sally Stanford Weighs In On The Eternal Conflict

from FRISCO—The Secret History · host Knox Bronson

In "Call It FRISCO, Part 2," host Knox Bronson defends his podcast's name, "The Secret History of Frisco," against objections from hither and thither, including the Reddit San Francisco group.  Historical figures like Emperor Norton and madam Sally Stanford each make an appearance, showcasing their differing views on the term "Frisco."  "Colorful characters like Foghorn Murphy and Charles Cora, embraced the name, contrasting them with later transplants who, according to Stanford's autobiography, brought "provincial" sensibilities and disapproved of the city's previously open and permissive culture. The Secret History of Frisco is a deliberate nod to this older, more authentic San Francisco spirit, despite suprisingly vehement opposition.
