Hosted by The San Francisco Standard · news · EN
Emily Dreyfuss brings sharp wit and relentless curiosity to every conversation. As the SF Standard's culture editor and a veteran tech journalist, she's spent years inside the rooms where tech, culture, and power collide. And the more she learns, the more she wants to know. Each week on PST, Emily sits down with the creators, big thinkers, cultural shapers, and political heavyweights who are driving this moment — and the ones trying to make sense of it. From AI to identity, policy to pop culture, these are conversations that start on the West Coast on Pacific Standard Time and end up everywhere. New episodes Fridays.
