## Resource

Last month we published a deep dive on Oakland’s pension debt problems which are costing the city $450M a year. It’s a 30-60 minute read. And that’s a blocker for most folks with little free time. So we’re trying out a new format—one friendly to driving and dog walks. It’s a short podcast that distills the article’s key findings into a 12 minute conversation.Podcast generated by Google NotebookLM . Reviewed by Oakland Report for accuracy. This is a public episode.
