What is "Oakland Nights...Live!!"? Why it is Oakland's very own monthly late night talk show. It’s half Johnny Carson, half Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, half Fresh Air, and all Oakland. We’ve had marine biologists, talks with Oakland public school teachers, Star Trek: TNG re-enactments, call-in relationship advice, live interviews with an astrophysicist from the South Pole, and much much more! Filled with Oakland trivia, highlights on local small businesses, spotlights on amazing non-profits - it is a microscope that looks in on all the little wonders across the Oakland Bay Area. Come see the show that all your friends are already at! Every 1st Saturday at 8pm.
