Our guest is Jeff Burkhart, longtime Pacific Sun contributor and one of the North Bay's most curious storytellers. His latest cover story uncovers the surprising Cold War history hidden in the Marin Headlands, where the restored SF-88 Nike Missile Site reveals a little-known chapter of nuclear defense just north of the Golden Gate. We'll talk about the history behind Project Nike, why nuclear-armed missiles once stood in Marin County, and how a simple museum visit turned into a fascinating investigation of the Cold War's lasting legacy.
