The Future of Campus Policing
Wednesday, April 21, at 6pm
Join KQED and CalMatters for a wide-ranging
discussion with students and administrators
about how we rethink the role of law
enforcement officers on college and university

police brutality, racism and unaccountability,
how should campus safety be reformed?

Meet Forum’s Mina Kim
Over the past decade, Mina Kim has become one of KQED’s most familiar and beloved radio voices.
A native of Canada, Mina grew up in St. John’s in Newfoundland. She started at KQED as an intern.
When the station began expanding its local news coverage in 2010, she became a general assignment
news reporter, then health reporter for The California Report before becoming Forum’s Friday host at
the end of 2014. Over this past summer, she took over daily hosting duties of the statewide 10am hour
of Forum, which now is carried by other public radio stations statewide. Mina and the Forum team are
building the show to help create a space for Californians to have a daily conversation about current
affairs and the state’s experience by centering on race, justice and equality. —Peter Cavagnaro
With the recent format change to the second hour of Forum, you’re no longer speaking just to
a Bay Area audience, but to Californians up and down the state. How has that changed the
conversations for you?
Having people from more regions of the state join our daily Forum conversation has made me feel
more connected to the “nation of California” and made my world feel bigger at a time when the
pandemic forced it to shrink.
One of the themes for the second hour of Forum is to look at current events through the lens of
race, justice and equality. How has your lived experience prepared you for the conversations?
My producers and I are often surprised at how personally connected we are to our show topics.
I’m the daughter of Korean immigrants and lost my dad to a heart attack at the age of 8. My teen
KQ E D.O RG • A P R I L 2 0 2 1
years saw a lot of emotional and financial struggles. And, of course, the recent increase in the number
of anti-Asian hate incidents has been no less painful for being expected.
The format of the show is not the only major change to Forum. Shelter-in-place has required you to
host from your home for the past year. How has that gone for you — both as host and as a mother?
I haven’t had any “BBC Dad” moments yet though a few close calls! All three of my kids have been home
with me and my spouse throughout the pandemic, so yeah, it’s been hectic. He likes to joke we’re running
a radio station, law firm and childcare center out of our house.

East Palo Alto’s Climate
Threats and Solutions
East Palo Alto is one of the places in California most vulnerable
to sea-level rise in the bay, and one of those least able to fund
protective measures for its residents. The small city sits along
the bay at a location where the dynamics of bay currents
point wave action right to its shoreline. Mapping by the Bay
Conservation and Development Commission shows a swath
of East Palo Alto neighborhoods inundated by 2050 from sea-
level rise and storm surges.

PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now?
We asked Alexander Gonzalez, local news features editor for KQED News. Here are his picks.
STARTER EPISODE
“Partying During COVID, and Why Can’t I Get the Shot?
The California Report Magazine produces a weekly sonic tapestry of the people, places and ideas
that shape the Golden State. One of the show’s specialties is intimate portraits, and this episode
delivers. A KQED reporter shares a moving first-person account about living with a difficult
roommate during the COVID-19 pandemic.
STARTER EPISODE
“We (Still) Don’t Say That”
Since the pandemic has limited international travel, I’ve been turning back to my favorite episodes
of NPR’s Rough Translation. Stories from around the world reflect conversations we’re having at
home. Through captivating interviews, this episode explores the complicated relationship between
race and language in France.
KQ E D.O RG • A P R I L 2 0 2 1
STARTER EPISODE
“The Case for Sweatpants”
The United States started as an experiment, and that premise drives the storytelling in
The Experiment by The Atlantic and WNYC Studios. Stories from an unfinished country take
listeners in surprising directions — like in this episode about sweatpants. History, cultural
commentary and fun sound design make The Experiment a worthwhile listen.

Staff Picks
Masterpiece continues its 50th anniversary season with another
stunning drama premiering this month. Atlantic Crossing
is an epic drama based on the little-known true story of the
relationship between Norwegian Crown Princess Martha
and President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II. Kyle
MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Sex and the City) stars as Roosevelt,
opposite Swedish star Sofia Helin (The Bridge) as the courageous
Martha, who flees the Nazis with her three young children and
lives under Roosevelt’s protection. The eight-part series shows
war from a woman’s point of view and ranges back and forth
across the North Atlantic throughout World War II, depicting
momentous events in the changing fortunes of Norway, Great
Britain and the United States. I was hooked from the first
episode, and Passport makes it easy to binge with all episodes

• FDR made a secret trip to the Bay Area in 1942 to get a firsthand
account of military production and citizen morale during WWll.
Newspapers, including The San Francisco Chronicle, agreed
to keep silent on the story for national security concerns.
• FDR made history when he appointed Francis Perkins as
Secretary of Labor. She was the first woman to hold a cabinet
post in a U.S. presidential administration.
• In 1944, FDR was elected to a fourth term. It’s unlikely a
president will serve that long again; the 22nd Amendment, Inherit the Wind
enacted in 1951, limits presidents to two terms. Saturday, April 17, at
