Pinoy Jazz and Blues

The San Francisco Chronicle's Pinoy Pod is a weekly program of interviews, news features and information about the Filipino experience in Northern California, the Philippines and beyond. This bold experiment, the first of its kind by a major American newspaper, can be downloaded at www.sfgate.com/podcasts. A podcast is similar to a radio show, except it's in the form of a computer file that you download from the Internet and can listen to at your convenience. You can play a podcast on your computer or on a portable digital music player. To download a podcast, simply click on the appropriate link on the podcasts page and save the file to a place on your computer that's easy to access, such as your desktop.

E-mail us at pinoypod@sfchronicle.com. You can also leave us a voice message on our special PINOY POD LISTENER CALL-IN LINE. That number is (415) 777-7782. Some comments may be played on future podcasts.
