It's Episode 6 of KQED's Smartmouth podcast, our quick review of the week's top news.

This week, KQED blogger/editor Dan Brekke is joined by The California Report host Queena Kim, producer Guy Marzorati to discuss:

  • State Sen. Mark Leno's latest failed attempt to amend the Ellis Act and stem some evictions in San Francisco.
  • Caltrans' good news about the Bay Bridge's eastern span and why we may never be sure that the structure is really all we've been promised.
  • And the U.S. Justice Department's big move against FIFA, soccer's international governing body.

Plus: Love for the Golden State Warriors. And a glimpse into the future of the state's pot economy.
