2020

To cover the Bay Area’s affordability crisis, KQED has created a dedicated news desk staffed by journalists Erika Aguilar, Erin Baldassari and Molly Solomon. Together, the team provides ongoing coverage of housing and affordability issues in the Bay Area for multiple KQED platforms, including radio and online, and will develop a podcast series about the roots of the crisis. “Everywhere you go you see the effects of the Bay Area’s housing crisis,” notes Holly Kernan, KQED’s chief content officer, adding: “This desk gives us the opportunity to start conversations with our audiences about how the housing crisis is affecting them and how we come together to begin to solve these challenging issues.”

Coming from KQED’s The Bay podcast, Erika Aguilar leads the team as senior editor. Before arriving at KQED, Erika worked for KPCC public media in Los Angeles, covering crime and public safety. She also served as the station’s Orange County bureau reporter on homelessness, policing and ethnic politics in local government.

“Housing and the rising cost of living is top of mind for everyone I meet,” says Aguilar. “It’s time to answer questions from our audience about how we got ourselves into this situation and how to navigate it. As a starting point, we’ll examine the unfair, inequitable

and discriminatory practices in our state’s land-use and political history that have contributed to our affordability crisis.”

Joining Aguilar is three-time national Edward R. Murrow Award winner Molly Solomon as housing reporter for the desk. Solomon arrives at KQED from Oregon Public Broadcasting, where she was the Southwest Washington bureau chief. Her coverage included rural communities, environmental issues along the Columbia River, and an investigation into equity and diversity struggles at a local community college. Molly's latest reporting includes a deep dive into Moms for Housing, a big national story taking place in Oakland, and explores what housing as a human right means and could look like in policy.

The team is rounded out by Erin Baldassari, who most recently worked as a transportation reporter for the East Bay Times and The Mercury News with a focus on how the Bay Area’s housing shortage has changed the way people move around the region. Baldassari served on the Times’ 2017 Pulitzer Prize–winning team that covered the Ghost Ship fire.

The formation of KQED’s housing desk is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

STARTER EPISODE

“The Guardian”California’s primary isn’t until March; Iowa and New Hampshire get to go first for some reason. Well, there’s a story behind that, and the folks at New Hampshire Public Radio’s Stranglehold set out to tell it with this podcast. The series kicks off with the tale of a man who is known statewide as “the guardian” of the New Hampshire primary.

STARTER EPISODE

“Exploring the Rain Forest with ‘Treetop Barbie’”Short Wave, NPR's daily science podcast, launched this past fall. Usually around 10 minutes, it's smart, concise and accessible. This episode takes you up into the tree canopies of the Pacific Northwest with a tireless ecologist who has also fought for years to get more women into science.

STARTER EPISODE

“Let’s Talk About Race and the Orinda Shooting”At The Bay, we tell local Bay Area news stories, but we also want to critically consider with our audience how race and identity shape the way we think about the news. This episode is a thoughtful and necessary look at how gun violence is covered in the press, focusing specifically on the Halloween shooting that killed five people in Orinda.

P O D C A S T S

What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Alan Montecillo, KQED’s editor for The Bay, what he recommends. Here are his picks.

Airs Wednesday, February 26, at 8pmOn October 8, 2018, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law some of the nation’s most far-reaching housing bills designed to prevent homelessness, protect tenants from being evicted and make it possible to create new homes for many thousands of Californians. The work was made possible by a collaboration of diverse allies who are attempting to preserve existing affordable homes, protect the families in them and produce more housing at all income levels. Although the bills represent important strides, some say a lot of work still remains. This panel discussion from the Commonwealth Club examines the implications of the new legislation and what the future holds for addressing the challenge of homelessness and housing in the Bay Area.

Witness: Black History Month

New Laws Protect Tenants, Prevent Homelessness and Create Affordable Housing – Now What?

Airs Wednesday, February 5, at 8pmFor Black History Month, tune in to this Witness special from the BBC and hear about history from people who were there. We start just 65 years ago — the year that the Montgomery bus boycott began and 14-year-old Emmett Till was brutally kidnapped and lynched, a horrific tragedy that galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. Only thirteen years later, American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos stood on the winners’ podium at the Mexico City Olympics and raised their gloved fists in the air to protest racism. That same

year, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated at age 39. And Moneta Sleet Jr. became the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism for his harrowing image of Coretta Scott King at her husband’s funeral. The first-person interviews captured in this Witness special speak to the tumult, the pain and the incredible power of the activists who put everything on the line to fight injustice.

NOVA: Polar Extremes Premieres Wednesday, February 5, at 8pm on KQED 9 Exploring the bottom and top of the world — Antarctica and the Arctic — is, ahem, cool because these places are unlike any other on Earth. At the icy poles, life flourishes under extreme conditions. And in some places, such as Antarctica’s Dry Valleys, the environment is a lot like that on Mars.

But the poles also hold intriguing clues — locked in rocks, trapped in ice and found underneath the oceans — about a polar past that's very different from the Arctic and Antarctica we know today. Join renowned paleontologist and host Kirk Johnson for NOVA: Polar Extremes, a one-night, two-hour special on February 5, and journey into a surprising long-ago time when the Arctic was a soggy humid swamp, and dinosaurs lumbered around in Antarctica.

For hundreds of millions of years, polar extremes have helped drive climate. Today, the poles are changing again as ice shifts and melts. The Arctic has the dubious distinction of warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. Are we about to take a giant step back in time? Is this the world we want? Consider these and other questions and encounter and unravel scientific mysteries in this fascinating special. Down blanket and hot cocoa optional.—Ellyn Hament

DID YOU KNOW?• The Antarctic Treaty, enacted in 1961, and its related agreements set aside the continent as a scientific preserve and bans military activity there.

• The first woman in Antarctica arrived, for a very short stay, in 1935; the first man showed up about 100 years earlier.

• Indigenous people have lived in the Arctic for about 40,000 years and continue to live there today. Antarctica is the only continent on Earth that doesn’t have a native human population.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?Airs Saturday, February 1, at 8pm on KQED 9When the daughter of a liberal white San Francisco couple (Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn) brings home her black fiancé (Sidney Poitier), her parents’ beliefs — and others’ — are put to the test. This 1967 film (Tracy’s last) was nominated for ten Academy Awards.

The Fight on American Experience ▼ Tuesday, February 11, at 9pm on KQED 9

In 1938, the Great Depression had ripped at the economic fabric of the country for nine years, and war was looming. But on June 22, many people were focused on American Joe Louis and German Max Schmeling, who were fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world as reluctant symbols of equality and supremacy, democracy and fascism.

Enjoy Passport Exclusives: Binge Full Seasons of Two British Crime Shows

The Moonstone Sit back and treat yourself to all five seasons of a classic British crime show. The Moonstone is a fresh adaptation of what is considered by many to be English literature’s first great detective novel. Written by Wilkie Collins in 1868, The Moonstone has lots of the juicy elements found in the best crime stories. A robbery is committed in a British country house. A diamond is stolen. Who did it? There are lots of suspicious characters and many plausible reasons that any one of them may be guilty of the crime. In the end, a man must look carefully at all the clues and find the stolen diamond to win the heart of the woman he loves.

Whitechapel See the entire series of a stylish and scary British crime show with a historical twist. Watch Whitechapel, which asks: Who’s stalking and brutally murdering vulnerable women in an East London area? Residents are terrified, and the police are stumped. Detective Inspector Chandler and a group of other detectives, including the jaded and cynical Detective Sergeant Miles, are tipped off that this present-day killer is copying the infamous Jack the Ripper Whitechapel murders down to the last detail, more than 100 years after those unsolved crimes. Can these modern-day detectives do what their predecessors couldn’t do, find the killer and bring him or her to justice? This gothic-inspired crime show features dark humor, lots of frightening moments, and strong characters and storylines.
