My issues on content are mostly with the final portion of the book (the past 130 years). There is no mention of the national parks created in California, or of the Black Panther movement, the wine industry, consumer protections, and other noteworthy people and events. While it makes good points in several areas, the book finishes with a lament that Republicans haven't elected a governor since Schwarzenegger and politics have become more liberal. There's really no need to editorialize.
I wish the narrator had not mispronounced so many words, and that “California” had not been in every sentence. It's okay to say “the state” once in a while. As a basic introduction to the state's history, this is all right, but be sure to add other sources for a more complete understanding.

both were really fascinating, and the narrator often kept me engaged. Jason zenobia is probably their best. and certainly my favorite.
I'd known some things about California's History, and pretty much most of the Gold Rush days, but it's always good to learn more. thank you, captivating History

During one of the session, it was stated that Apple created the first computer in 1978. Not true, please check this since I know that there were several other manufacturers of computers before then SWTP (6800); MITS (Altair).

Audible - you can do better. I've searched for a straight history of San Francisco and found nothing here without an agenda.
