NEWS + NOTES
Meet Luke Tsai, KQED’s New Food Editor
If you follow Bay Area food reviews and articles, you’ve probably read Luke Tsai’s writing. Most recently,
it’s appeared in Eater SF, and also in San Francisco magazine, the East Bay Express, and in two Best Food
Writing anthologies. The good news for us is that Luke is now contributing his considerable talent to KQED,
where he’s the new food editor. A former high school English teacher, Luke has written about quesabirria (a
kind of cheesy taco), appropriation in Bay Area “ethnic” cuisines, the last Black chefs in San Francisco and
much more — including a recent piece for KQED: “In Praise of the Toum at Oakland’s Shawarmaji.”

Shows We Love:
The Moth Radio Hour
There’s a reason radio remains a beloved broadcasting
medium: It offers listeners opportunities to hear powerful
storytelling and introduces them to new people, places
and ideas. This type of storytelling is exemplified by
The Moth Radio Hour, a staple of KQED weekend
programming. The Moth promotes the art and craft of
storytelling and honors and celebrates the diversity and
commonality of human experience. Its founder, George
Dawes Green, "wanted to recreate, in New York, the feeling
of sultry summer evenings in his native Georgia, when
moths were attracted to the light on the porch where he and
his friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales.” That’s
exactly what listening to these stories feels like. Each hour
of The Moth is curated and hosted by a Moth staff member,
centers on a theme, is told in the first person and showcases
a wide range of human experiences. The stories are all true
and performed live at Moth shows. The Moth Radio Hour airs
Saturdays at 9pm on KQED 88.5 FM.
PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Shaylyn Martos,
intern for The Bay podcast at KQED. Here are her picks.
STARTER EPISODE
"With Calls to #StopAAPIHate, Specificity Matters"
Attacks against members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities weigh
heavy on our hearts. On KQED’s The Bay, we unpack local news stories about attacks and think
critically about how the intersections of identity shape our experiences. We also focus on how to
create solutions that address the most vulnerable people in the #StopAAPIHate conversation.
STARTER EPISODE
“You Don’t Get It Until You Get It”
Radio Teco is the first podcast produced by El Tecolote, the historic Spanish/English
newspaper in San Francisco’s Mission District. This first episode is an interview with Alejandro
Galicia Diaz, award-winning photographer for the paper, about his fight against COVID-19. From
the downbeat, you can hear the respect and appreciation for Latinx history and culture.
KQ E D . O R G • M AY 2 0 2 1
STARTER EPISODE
“Parable of the Sower: Chapter 1”
Octavia Estelle Butler was the first prolific Black woman science fiction author; her groundbreaking
work inspired a new generation of sci-fi and speculative fiction writers. Octavia’s Parables leads
listeners in chapter-by-chapter discussions about her Parable series. This first episode is a recap
and analysis of chapter one of Parable of the Sower.

Eyes on the Prize tells the definitive story of the civil rights
era from the point of view of ordinary men and women. Their
extraordinary actions launched a movement that changed
the fabric of American life and embodied a struggle whose
reverberations continue to be felt today. Winner of numerous
Emmy Awards, a George Foster Peabody Award, an International
Documentary Award and a Television Critics Association Award,
Eyes on the Prize is the most critically acclaimed documentary
on civil rights in America. We’re honored to bring it back to KQED
viewers. It’s the story of the people who, compelled by a meeting
of conscience and circumstance, worked to eradicate a world
where whites and Blacks could not go to the same school, ride
the same bus, vote in the same election or participate equally in
society. The first six episodes are now available for on-demand
streaming on KQED Passport. —Meredith Speight, KQED Director
