In just a few short days we’re going to reach the close of another decade, and here in the Bay Area an awful lot has happened over the course of that decade -- from athletic triumphs, to the tech boom and backlash, to a series of punishing wildfire disasters -- so after a whole decade of nonstop Bay Area news, the question is what’s still worth remembering? 

On this edition of KCBS In Depth we look back at some of the biggest Bay Area news stories from the past ten years to find out what they might have to teach us about the next ten. 

Guests: 

  • Roger Noll, a Stanford emeritus professor of economics who specializes in the business of sports
  • Richard Walker, an emeritus professor of economic geography at UC Berkeley and the author of "Pictures of a Gone City: Tech and the Dark Side of Prosperity in the San Francisco Bay Area" 
  • Dr. Scott Stephens, a professor of fire science and the chair of the Division of Ecosystem Science at UC Berkeley specializing in wildfire science, fire ecology and forest policy management

Hosts: KCBS Radio reporters Keith Menconi, Doug Sovern, Matt Bigler, Margie Shafer and KCBS Sports Anchor Kevin Radich
