About us
Section 1904 is more than just a podcast, it's a community. Covering San Diego's culture as well as its sports teams, Darren Smith and John Gennaro provide their thoughts through podcasts, videos and written blog posts.
Darren Smith
Darren Smith has been a prominent voice in San Diego sports radio since 2004. When sports fans seek unique opinions on the world of sports, information on breaking news, and memorable interviews, Smith consistently delivers.
John Gennaro
John Gennaro isn't a has-been, but a never was. Once known as the grouchy editor of BoltsFromTheBlue.com, then as the co-creator and co-host of Padres Hot Tub, John has spent most of his career in sports working quietly behind the scenes as a producer.
After starting at the nationally-syndicated FOX Sports Radio, John helped launch a new sports radio station in Los Angeles (The Beast 980) before returning back to San Diego to The Mighty 1090 in 2015. Since then, there have been stops with NFL Media, Vox Media and Yahoo Sports before starting Section 1904 alongside San Diego radio legend Darren Smith.
Most importantly, John lives with his wife, daughter and dog in Carlsbad, California. And, no, he never does shut up.
