It’s my second day at the Chronicle, working to turn Bay Area news into tasty podcasts Which means, for anyone who hasn’t heard, that I have closed out my run at KCBS. It was a wild ride and I’ll be forever grateful to the tremendous news team I had the privilege of working with

Had a good time making this episode. Check it out!

I’ve put off writing this note but it’s time to face the difficult thing that I’m still processing: Fifth & Mission Podcast is ending, the podcast I’ve produced and hosted for over 2.5 years. Today’s final episode is my goodbye note and reflection to listeners. sfchronicle.com/podcasts/artic…

Yes, it's goodbye. The final episode of Fifth & Mission Podcast is a thoughtful farewell from Cecilia Lei.
