Want to hear what the next generation thinks about the future of our region?

Every year, students from San Francisco State University pick up audio recording kits in search of stories that not only matter to the Bay Area but matter to them. They immerse themselves in communities across the area, capturing stories that reflect the people, challenges and ideas shaping our region.

From women-focused gyms to alternative therapies to prediction markets to nightlife, students uncover stories that might otherwise go unheard in this special report, “The Future of the Bay.”
