NEWS + NOTES

Thanks for Helping Us to Transform KQED’s Future — We’re Almost There!

Like so many of you, the KQED staff have been working in isolated conditions for more than a year. As we all start to look forward to this extraordinary time in our lives coming to a close, KQED has the added excitement of not only returning to work in person, but also returning to our fully renovated headquarters, the final part of Campaign 21.

Today we’re in the final phase of fundraising, with over 97 percent of our goal secured. We remain incredibly grateful that, despite pandemic setbacks, we continue to be on schedule. Visit kqed.org/campaign21 to learn more about the final phase of our campaign and to take a guided virtual tour of our headquarters before we open our doors to the public.

KQED is redefining public media for the Bay Area making it more inclusive, participatory and community powered. Our journey of transformation began more than a decade ago as we envisioned leading the way into a new era of service for our growing audiences to be where, when and how you needed us. To reach these goals, we launched Campaign 21, a multiyear fundraising and capacity-building effort to fund digital production and distribution, grow our reporting teams and renovate our headquarters.

RADIO SPECIALS

Mental Health and Communities of Color: From Stigma to Solutions Airs Wednesday, June 16, at 8pm Experts widely report that mental health treatment in Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) communities is severely lacking. Cultural differences and misunderstandings lead to diagnostic problems and hesitancy to seek treatment.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness found that Black adults are more likely to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress than white adults, yet only one in three Black Americans who needs support gets it. Latinx, Asian and Indigenous people similarly have poor access to quality mental health services. BIPOC youth are more likely to end up in the criminal justice system, with their needs untreated. And the age of COVID has amplified the depth of these disparities and the ongoing systematic inequities for people of color.

How can medical professionals, government and the private sector work together in this challenging time to improve conditions and treatment as well as eliminate stigma for

those needing care? UCSF Psychiatry Chief Dr. Lisa Fortuna will moderate and address solutions in this Commonwealth Club discussion. San Francisco Human Rights Commission Director Sheryl Davis will focus on the impact of COVID-19 and racism across different populations. Treatment needs in Asian, Black, and LGBTQ populations will be discussed

by Stanford University psychiatrist Dr. Rona Hu. YMCA President Emeritus Chuck Collins will provide community context based on his work with various populations over time. And youth activist Nicole Elmore will discuss her personal experiences.

PODCASTS

What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Nimah Gobir, writer/producer for KQED’s MindShift. Here are her picks.

STARTER EPISODE

"How Art Can Help Center a Student’s Learning Experience"

KQED’s MindShift podcast series brings to caregivers and educators solutions in education that help children thrive. This episode explores how an Alameda public school on the brink of closing chose to use the power of making art to improve student learning.

STARTER EPISODE

“Lil Nas X? Not Sorry!”

STARTER EPISODE

“Teju Cole — Sitting Together in the Dark”

In this episode of On Being, writer and photographer Teju Cole’s interview with Krista Tippet is a wonderfully dense and lovely meditation on what it means to be a human during dark times. Throughout the episode, Cole makes the case for how creating art is an enduring act of hope.

KQ E D.O RG • J U N E 2 0 2 1

Still Processing, a podcast series from the New York Times, looks at culture in the broadest sense.

In this episode, hosts Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris know exactly how to find the most insightful through lines within a mess of pop culture and media. This episode looks at celebrity apologies, exploring how there seem to be more than usual and why they don’t hold much weight.

In a drama tinged with humor and heartbreak, Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) and Saskia Reeves (Luther) play a couple who embark on a long-planned grand tour of Europe despite the wife’s unexpected declaration that she wants to leave the marriage. The two-part series is based on a novel by best-selling author David Nicholls. It’s beautifully told, taking us back in time from the early days of falling in love and starting a family to what may be the last days of a marriage. It’s also a way of taking your own European grand tour and seeing artistic masterpieces this summer without leaving home. You’ll be hooked. KQED Passport members don’t have to wait to see the conclusion; the entire series will be available on the night of the first episode’s premiere on June 20.

‘The Indian Doctor’ Dramedy Illuminates a Part of British Immigration History Imagine that you graduated from medical school and live in Delhi. With your wife, you decide to move to England for a new position offered by Britain’s National Health Service.

You’re expecting to practice, perhaps, in London and you’re looking forward to urban life there: visiting Buckingham Palace, shopping, and eating extraordinary food.

Instead, you’re sent to a small mining town in rural South Wales. You get off the train and you’re in a strange, desolate place where no one looks like you.

How do you cope and how do you become a part of the community? The Indian Doctor,

a new series, tells the largely forgotten story of the first wave of doctors recruited from overseas for the National Health Service.

Based on a true story, The Indian Doctor features Dr. Prem Sharma and his wife, Kamini, who emigrate from India and experience the culture shock of being educated foreigners in a village of working-class people. There's comedy, drama and a lot of social history in the series.

Tune into the show beginning on Tuesday, June 22, at 8pm on KQED Plus and watch for Series 1 to continue in August.

— Sophie Kim

Saturday, June 26, at 8pm on KQED 9 Robin Williams and Nathan Lane star as a gay cabaret owner and his drag queen partner, respectively, in this 1996 comedy classic, which was directed by Mike Nichols and adapted

by Elaine May. Williams and Lane agree to play it straight so that their son can introduce them to his fiancé’s conservative parents. Can they do it?

It’s more than worth a watch to find out.

DID YOU KNOW? U.K. MEDICS AND IMMIGRATION IN THE SIXTIES • Mass migration from Britian’s former colonies was a huge boon to the National Health Service, the country’s biggest employer in the 1960s.

• In 1963, Enoch Powell, the British Conservative Health Minister, launched a campaign that recruited about 18,000 trained doctors from India and Pakistan to fill the shortage of U.K. doctors.

Nature: The Bat Man of Mexico Wednesday, June 30, at 8pm on KQED 9 Ecologist Rodrigo Medellin has dedicated his life to saving bats. And now, tequila, Mexico’s most famous export, is at stake, too. Medellin’s beloved lesser long-nosed bat is crucial to the liquor — it pollinates the plants the drink comes from.

‘On Our Watch,’ a Podcast About How a Secret Internal Affairs System Protects Police For decades, the internal investigations process in California for how law enforcement officers police themselves has been hidden behind a wall of secrecy. Then SB1421, a new police transparency law, was passed in 2018 unsealing scores of internal affairs files and recordings that police departments never expected to be seen or heard. With unprecedented access to these materials, On Our Watch, a new podcast series from KQED and NPR, brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who the system is really protecting. Is it the officers or the public they're sworn to serve?

“People in California, like the rest of the country, are grappling with how to change policing to make it fair and safe for everyone,” says Lewis. “Is that even possible? In order to answer that question, we need to understand why this system that promises accountability has failed to deliver it for so long.”

On Our Watch is a product of the investigative work of The California Reporting Project, a statewide coalition of 40 newsrooms working together to obtain and report on police records made available to the public. Led by KQED, the California Reporting Project defended public access in the courts and is seeking to collect internal police misconduct and use-of-force files from every law enforcement agency in the state.

New episodes of On Our Watch are posted every Thursday through July 1. Search for On Our Watch wherever you get your podcasts or visit kqed.org/podcasts/onourwatch to listen.

Hosted by KQED criminal justice reporter Sukey Lewis, On Our Watch takes us from small towns like Rio Vista to the East Bay city of Richmond to an agricultural community in Salinas. Here we find police unions with deep pockets and political power who fight officer terminations, disciplinary actions and attempts at transparency or accountability.

With the reporting and producing help of KQED race and equity reporter Sandhya Dirks, the series details internal investigations that take the word of an officer over the testimony of subjects, witnesses and video evidence.
