PST with Emily Dreyfuss

Pacific Standard Time is a dynamic, journalistic podcast produced by The San Francisco Standard that serves as a cultural and political pulse-check for the Bay Area. Hosted by Emily Dreyfuss and Jesse Alejandro Cottrell, the show masterfully bridges the gap between high-stakes tech reporting and local lifestyle trends. By blending deep-dive investigative interviews—such as those regarding OpenAI and AI governance—with lighthearted segments on local sports and cultural shifts, the podcast offers a multifaceted view of San Francisco's influence on the national stage. The tone is sharp, inquisitive, and distinctly modern, making it an essential listen for audiences interested in the intersection of Silicon Valley innovation, urban policy, and the evolving cultural zeitgeist of the West Coast.
