A Marin-Centric News Engine for the Bay Area
Across the peninsula—from Mill Valley and Tiburon to Novato and Fairfax—Listen in Marin curates the week’s most relevant stories for local ears. The show airs on Radio Sausalito every Monday at 8 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m..
It reaches listeners who like traditional airwaves and the growing crowd streaming from San Anselmo and Ross. By mixing radio with online streaming, the program tries to reach coastal communities like Sausalito and inland hubs such as Novato.
