Dan Gonzales pushes his students to the head of the class

Meet Dan Gonzales of the Asian American Studies Department at San Francisco State University. Musicians and other performers tip their hats to him in the liner notes for their CDs and in their bios. Writers, community leaders and educators count on him as a friend, colleague or sounding board. How did one guy manage to influence so many people? Hear what broadcast journalist Malou Nubla and comedian Rex Navarrete said about him to Pinoy Pod, hosted this week by one of Gonzales' former students, Chronicle Deputy Managing Editor Leslie Guevarra.
