Description

Kevin Fagan isn’t just a reporter — he lived the stories he covered. Kicked out at 16 and sleeping in cars, his experience shaped a 40-year career reporting on homelessness. At the San Francisco Chronicle, he published over 5,000 articles on the crisis, becoming one of America’s most trusted voices. In this episode, Kevin shares hard-won lessons from San Francisco’s streets, why homelessness keeps growing, and the power of telling human stories with dignity. We also dive into his new book, The Lost and the Found: A True Story of Homelessness, Found Family and Second Chances, and what it taught him about hope, connection, and second chances.

Whether you’re a journalist, a fan of powerful stories, or want to better understand homelessness, this conversation is for you.
