Rooting for Oakland

What happens when a city’s teams keep leaving — but the fans stay? This episode is a love letter to Oakland and those who refuse to let the soul of their community be erased. Oakland has lost multiple professional teams, but it hasn’t lost its heart. In the debut episode of Heart of a Fan, host Matthew Barry explores the deep-rooted passion and resilience of Oakland sports fans. You’ll hear why rooting for this city is about more than loyalty — it’s about identity, history, and holding onto something no front office can take away. This is a story about fans who stay — and about the meaning of showing up, even when your team doesn’t.
