 (Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)

Who knew one week could offer so much political intrigue, from the cloud of scandal to the potential for a 2016 ballot measure smackdown?

This week's California Politics Podcast examines the new chapter of corruption allegations revealed this week in San Francisco, and whether the case -- or the media frenzy -- has legs.

We also discuss the throwing down of the gas gauntlet, so to speak, by billionaire activist Tom Steyer in his battle with Big Oil.  And we look back at this week's end of an era -- the final payment of California's deficit debts from more than a decade ago.

I'm joined by Marisa Lagos of KQED News and Anthony York of the Grizzly Bear Project.
