On today’s show, we’ll hear the story of a large area of Santa Barbara open space that will remain undeveloped, as "Save the San Marcos Foothills" has reached its goal to purchase the 101 acre site, west of hwy 154. San Francisco International Airport has an impressive showcase of the arts in galleries throughout the airport. Local author Corinne Ardoin shares her quest for publication- and for a better understanding of her relationship with her heritage. And finally, daikon is growing just outside of San Luis Obispo as a cover crop for a vineyard and Playing With Food's Father Ian checks it out.
