Tuesday, March 31, at 6:00pm The Exploratorium Pier 15 on San Francisco’s Embarcadero The science is irrefutable, and the existential threat is accelerating, but the global response to our climate crisis remains fractured and stagnant. How do we overcome social and political paralysis in the face of climate change? KQED’s On Common Ground event series presents a discussion about local Bay Area grassroots and community efforts that offer new models for galvanizing a response. kqed.org/events Den Sake’s Yoshi Sako and Cat Neville.

NEWS + NOTES

KQED Collaborates to Amplify Students’ Election-Related Commentaries KQED, together with the National Writing Project and PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Labs, is launching its first KQED Youth Media Challenge: Let’s Talk About Election 2020. The challenge amplifies youth voices and invites students to participate in the national conversation.

Although many of them can’t vote, young people know that this election will have a major impact on their lives. This project gives students the opportunity to persuade the voting public through an evidence-

based audio or video commentary on an electionrelated issue that matters to them. It also asks voters to consider young people’s opinions and lived experiences as they head to the polls.

Robin Mencher, executive director of Education at KQED, notes, “We are proud to help young people throughout the United States be heard.” Watch and listen to these inspiring student perspectives on the Election 2020 showcase at learn.kqed.org/ election2020.

Clemens may look familiar; she has more than 15 years of national and local television news experience working for CBS News, NBC News and KTVU. Her extensive broadcast journalism background had her crisscrossing the country covering some of the most important stories of the early part of the 2000s. As a national correspondent for CBS News, she reported for the CBS Evening News and The Early Show, anchored the CBS Weekend Early Show news desk and filled in as host of the Saturday and Sunday CBS Evening News.

As a general assignment reporter covering breaking news for Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU, she covered a major Bay Area oil spill and the murder trial of journalist Chauncey Bailey.

KQED Newsroom airs on Fridays at 7pm on KQED Public Television 9 and repeats over the weekend on both KQED 9 and KQED Plus. It also airs Sundays at 9:30pm on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM. Episodes are available online at kqed.org/newsroom.

California Report All Things Considered

Witness: Women’s History Month Airs Wednesday, March 18, at 8pm This Women’s History Month, listen in on the latest special from Witness, which presents remarkable women’s stories told by the people who were there. Return to 1963 when Betty Friedan released The Feminine Mystique, largely credited for sparking second-wave feminism and paving the way for maternity pay and subsidized child care. Go to 1977, when Lisa Lindahl invented the first modern sports bra, improving women’s access to and comfort during athletic activities. Later, an Iranian woman recounts her experiences during the Islamic Revolution. The series also visits a women’s activist in South Africa, and recounts the tragic 2006 murder of human rights activist Anna Politkovskaya. Tune in to learn about progress we’ve yet to make.

Beats, Rhymes and Justice: Hip-hop on Rikers Island A two-part series airing Wednesday, March 4 and March 11, at 8pm For incarcerated youth, access to cultural and educational opportunities is impossible to come by. Columbia University’s Center for Justice sought to change this. Columbia set its sights on Rikers Island, which is among the world’s largest jail complexes and is known for its famous inmates and infamous stories of cruelty and abuse. Music production company owner Ryan Burvick along with the Center for Justice launched Beats, Rhymes and Justice, a hip-hop program that teaches incarcerated youth to examine music and create their own. Not only does the program build confidence and self-respect, it improves communication and software skills and encourages healthy creative writing. Students find avenues to express themselves, contributing to a healthier and safer prison culture and giving them hope for the future.

PODCASTS

What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Kyana Moghadam, KQED’s podcast engagement producer, what she recommends. Here are her picks.

STARTER EPISODE

“Why Are BART Escalators Nearly Always Broken? And How Did They Build Those Tunnels?”

In this episode of Bay Curious, KQED’s podcast that explores audience questions about the Bay Area, we look at BART. The episode hits on many of the questions we have about the system and how we get around the place we all call home.

STARTER EPISODE

“Four Days in August”

The first episode of NPR’s history podcast, Throughline, explores four days in August 1953 when the CIA was involved in the coup against Iran's elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. It’s an important listen, especially for those looking to know more about the 1979 Iranian Revolution and current US-Iran relations.

STARTER EPISODE

“What Are You Scared Of?”

10 Things That Scare Me is WNYC’s podcast about fear. Each episode features one person talking about ten things that scare them — from losing teeth to being pulled over by the police on a dark night to a Thanksgiving turkey coming back to life.

Listen via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, the NPR One app, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

MARCH PICKS

Where in the World Is Rick Steves?

This Month, Everywhere from Europe to Ethiopia

In March, there are lots of chances to virtually visit places with Steves, perhaps considering where to go next while also learning some of the needed skills and deeper stories about the locales. The Steves-a-thon kicks off with a show on travel skills for ship cruising, heads to Cornwall in England and takes in the Italian wine country. And in his newest hour-long special, Hunger and Hope: Lessons from Ethiopia and Guatemala, he focuses in on a more serious story about extreme poverty and explores some solutions for solving it. —Ellyn Hament Rick Steves will be on KQED 9 often this month during pledge. Please check the listings for dates and times, which include these shows: Travel Skills: Cruising England’s Cornwall Siena and Tuscany’s Wine Country Hunger and Hope: Lessons from Ethiopia and Guatemala

DID YOU KNOW? • Steves works to legalize marijuana across the United States and is on the board of NORML (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).

• He has trouble finding his way around American cities: “In the Western Hemisphere, I am a terrible traveler,” Steves told the New York Times.

• His son Andy has his own travel company, WSA Europe, for students in Europe.

Sunday, March 29, at 6am to midnight on KQED Plus Sit back and enjoy a full Sunday of country music.

Binge the entire Ken Burns’ Country Music series starting at 6am. The series chronicles the genre as it evolves over the 20th century to become an American art form.

Then, end the evening with superstar Garth Brooks accepting the prestigious Gershwin Prize.

Years ago when I was planning a trip to Italy, I picked up a book called Europe Through the Back Door, by Rick Steves, a little-known travel writer at the time. He recommended visiting Cinque Terre in Italy, a spectacular set of towns built into the cliffs above the Italian Riviera. The man has a knack for knowing the best places to visit. Cinque Terre was (and is) magical.
