NEWS + NOTES

KQED Has You Covered This Election With a series of pivotal choices facing voters on the ballot this November, KQED is providing you with the tools you need to make informed decisions.

At the top of the ballot, KQED reporters are leaning on decades of experience covering Democratic vice presidential nominee (and Bay Area native) Kamala Harris. Our feature coverage is delving into Harris’ record from her time as district attorney of San Francisco to the years she spent as attorney general of California and beyond — examining the tough choices Harris faced in weighing the demands of law enforcement and advocates for criminal justice reform.

California’s voting process is changing quickly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic: every voter is being mailed a ballot while many counties are opting to consolidate polling places. Our politics team is following these changes to the voter experience, and highlighting the challenges officials face in their ability to hold a safe and efficient election.

In addition, we’re offering a KQED Voter Guide, which features clear, impartial information about every state proposition and Bay Area measure, including easy-to-understand summaries, details about who supports and opposes each proposition, links to KQED’s original reporting and more. It will be available online at kqed.org/voterguide in early October. Visit kqed.org/ electionsnews for all our ongoing coverage.

With vote counting expected to last days or weeks after the election, KQED and NPR will keep you informed with nightly updates, results and analysis. When polls close on November 3, we’ll offer live results for every contest in the nine Bay Area counties at kqed.org/elections/results.

KQ E D.O RG • O CTO B E R 2 0 2 0

KQED journalists covering housing, criminal justice, health and economic equity will join our politics team to cover the twelve statewide ballot measures and a myriad of local initiatives on Bay Area ballots — including controversial proposals on policing, rent control, Uber and Lyft drivers and property taxes. Forum and Bay Curious will air segments explaining the measures, while KQED reporters will participate in virtual events (see Ballots and Brews on page 2) to answer audience questions. And every week, on Political Breakdown, Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos will bring listeners an in-depth conversation with the people shaping politics and policy in the Golden State.

Introducing Live Wire

What the Words Say

Airs Saturdays at 7pm We could all use a little levity in these dark times. As Live from Here ceases production, KQED is bringing Live Wire, a West Coast original, to our listeners. Hosted by Luke Burbank, longtime public radio personality and occasional guest host of Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!, Live Wire brings interesting conversation, live music and original comedy from emerging artists and established acts. Past guests include W. Kamau Bell, Hari Kondabolu, Ijeoma Oluo, Lindy West, Mandy Moore and Jeff Tweedy. Tune in on Saturdays at 7:00pm for an entertaining, inspiring and informative evening.

Airs Wednesday, October 7, at 8pm Everyone agrees that the goal of reading instruction is for children to understand what they read, but how does a little kid get there? As a follow-up to last year’s documentary on how children are taught to read, APM Reports Senior Correspondent Emily Hanford explores what scientists have learned about reading comprehension and why poverty and race can affect a child’s reading development.

Meet parents who are desperately searching for schools where their children will be taught how to read and teachers who are learning things they were never taught about how reading comprehension develops.

KQED Launches New Housing and Daily News Podcasts SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America

Consider This: Make Sense of Your Day

Tents, evictions, long commutes and gentrification — our nation’s housing crisis has been long in the making as spiraling housing costs crush the American Dream for all but the wealthy. SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America is a five-part, limited series that reimagines what housing can be by examining California, the epicenter of the nation’s housing affordability crisis.

The twists and turns of any given day’s news are enough to make anyone’s head spin. That’s why KQED has joined forces with NPR to bring you Consider This, the first localized daily news podcast to offer a mix of local and national news relevant to the region that you’re listening in.

This national/local on-demand experience is a first for both public radio and the podcast industry, and is made possible by public radio’s shared journalism and digital networks.

About a quarter of the nation’s homeless population lives in California. It’s where more than three million Californians are considered to be rent-burden. But California is just the canary in the coal mine. Cities across the U.S — from Austin, Texas, to Denver, Colorado — are grappling with increasingly high housing costs. And everyone wants to know how to stop it.

In this series, KQED housing affordability reporters Molly Solomon and Erin Baldassari examine six major problems in the California housing crisis through narrative storytelling. They introduce us to the dreamers and doers who are finding their own solutions to high housing costs because they can’t afford to wait for someone else to rescue them. You’ll find SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America wherever you get your podcasts or at kqed. org/podcasts/soldout.

KQED’s Bianca Taylor and former and current hosts of NPR’s All Things Considered tackle a few timely topics each episode. They bring careful attention to the complexity of the stories and issues, going beyond the headlines with a quick but thorough take on the news giving space to go deep on some of the most quickly developing ideas in motion today. Find Consider This wherever you get your podcasts or visit kqed.org/ podcasts/considerthis.

FIVE-PART PODCAST SERIES

DIGITAL

Staff Picks For more than three decades, filmmaker Ken Burns and his colleagues at Florentine Films have produced some of the most critically acclaimed and most watched documentaries on public television. Burns has devoted his career to examining the American experience from his first documentary on PBS in 1981 — Brooklyn Bridge, nominated for an Academy award — to Country Music (2019) and East Lake Meadows (2020), which looks at a public housing community in Atlanta. The Ken Burns Collection is available to stream on-demand with KQED Passport now and includes 28 films and series. It’s an amazing list of documentaries. If you don’t know where to start, I recommend just going down the list in alphabetical order, which means you get to start your marathon with the beloved Baseball series.

Michael Tilson Thomas Talks About the Symphony, the Bay Area, Food and More

OCTOBER PICKS

Vera, Season 10 Finale: The Escape Turn

Photo by Art Streiber

Think of the greatest composers, conductors and musical minds of our time and Michael Tilson Thomas, an icon in the Bay Area and around the world, tops the list. He was the San Francisco Symphony’s Music Director for 25 years (he recently became Music Director Laureate). He’s also the Co-founder and Artistic Director of the New World Symphony and Conductor Laureate of the London Symphony Orchestra. His list of accomplishments and accolades include eleven Grammy awards, appearances on more than 120 recordings, the National Medal of Arts and the 2019 Kennedy Center Honors, to name just a few.

Thursday, October 15, at 8pm on KQED 9 A wealthy betting shop tycoon is murdered in front of his family during what appears to be a home invasion, but is there more to the story than that?

Of course there is.

DCI Vera Stanhope is on the case, uncovering clues that lead to some surprising conclusions.

Photo by ITV.

I spoke with him recently on the day when Bay Area skies glowed orange from the fires (“almost biblical,” he noted) and learned more about his music and his life.

Tilson Thomas is featured in two upcoming shows on KQED 9. On Friday, October 23, at 9pm we’ll air a new American Masters’ documentary Michael Tilson Thomas: Where Now Is. And on Thursday, October 29, we’ll broadcast Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony: S&M 2, which focuses on symphonic renditions of Metallica fan favorites. If you’re interested in knowing more about him and his work, you don’t want to miss them. —Ellyn Hament

The Caine Mutiny Saturday, October 3, at 8pm on KQED 9 What happens when a Navy caption (Humphrey Bogart) assigned to a ship is clearly unstable?

How has the pandemic affected your work?

The San Francisco Symphony’s tour to New York and Europe and the rest of the orchestra’s season were cancelled. It’s hard because the members of the orchestra had been doing these pieces over many years and we were looking forward to enjoying each other’s company and having the pleasure of just being back in the national parks of symphonic culture. During this time, I want to do more composing and musical theater work. And I’m in touch with people and working on various projects. (continued on page 23)

(Michael Tilson Thomas, continued from page 7)

What do you think people may be surprised to learn about you in the upcoming American Masters’ show on PBS? The concerts and products are important and wonderful things. Still, they’re not the actual experience of my life.

There are little moments in the documentary that will give people more insight into the quality of my childhood, and what kind of atmosphere I live in.

What was it like to do the Metallica show, which airs on KQED this month?

I’ve always pointed out that there are some parallels between the music of the Middle Ages and metal music. We brought them together by playing a couple of Russian Futurism pieces of the very early 20th century. It was a colossal effort to put this show together. I realized that I was going to have to have heart surgery so I asked Edwin Outwater to take over the center of the project. He did a fabulous job. The first thing I did after the heart surgery was this concert. I conducted three or four numbers. It was interesting to have to go from convalescent mode to the stage right away. It was really fun and I was grateful that I was able to do it.

What are you listening to now – in any genre?

I don’t listen to music all that much. I’m feeling a lot of music.

It’s in my life. I do have it on sometimes when I’m doing other things like cooking or reading or puttering around the house.

I tend to listen to Gesualdo — 17th-century eccentric vocal music — Haydn keyboard music and the music of Mali. Every once in a while I listen to old jazz standards.

What do you like about living in the Bay Area?

It’s a sophisticated city with a lot of very strong and wideranging cultures. It is a real center of cultural and political activities. And it has access to beautiful countryside. Joshua [his husband] and I have been so welcomed in San Francisco.

And the whole period has been very much of a collaboration with the people on stage, a lovely voyage of discovery, one that’s been influenced by the city and not by impenetrable intellects. I’ve also enjoyed working with John Adams and with Lou Harrison. I wanted people to become aware of Harrison’s wide-ranging works. It’s been gratifying to be able to do that.

Do you regularly watch or listen to anything on KQED, PBS or NPR? I’m very faithful to watching the PBS NewsHour, and I watch the BBC World News broadcast. I’ve gotten involved with some of the wonderful series though I’m not so much of a series watcher. And it’s not PBS, but during the Jerry Orbach years I got very into Law & Order. [Editor’s note: Orbach had an interesting Broadway career.]

I appreciate the various cooking shows; I’m a pretty respectable cook. I was on a cooking show with Jacques Pépin. I enjoy going to farmers’ markets, seeing what’s seasonal and fresh and thinking of what to cook with it. I don’t use recipes. This week I took my conception of tandoori chicken much further than I ever have before, using lots of local spices and vegetables. I also like to make a lot of different relishes, pico de gallo and preserved lemons.

Was there a standout moment from your tenure as Music Director for the San Francisco Symphony?

That’s a hard question. There were spectacular moments on tour in Paris and Vienna when the audience was applauding and stamping their feet and wouldn’t go home. But it was also wonderful to be on a hiking trail in Marin and have a stranger pass by and say, "Thank you, maestro, for the Mahler."
