Exclusive for KQED Members: 35% Off Select Performances of SF Ballet’s ‘Frankenstein’ Liam Scarlett, the youngest choreographer ever to have a full-length ballet commissioned by The Royal Ballet, helms this darkly beautiful exploration of Mary Shelley’s Gothic classic.

KQED’s Newest Podcast Explores the Bay Area, One Question at a Time Join host Olivia Allen-Price, a Bay Area transplant who’s fallen hard and fast for her new home, to explore the Bay Area, one question at a time. Each week Bay Curious will answer questions like: Why are there so many ships buried under San Francisco? What is the origin of the word hella? What would it take to make Lake Merritt swimmable? If you’re as curious about the Bay as we are, subscribe to the podcast and participate at BayCurious.org.

If you live anywhere long enough, certain local quirks seem normal. In the Bay Area, maybe it’s the unusual belted shape of Sutro Tower. Or the overwhelming noise of a BART train as it travels underneath the bay. Or the mere existence of those brightly colored parrots perched above San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill. For most of us, these idiosyncrasies and mysteries are like wallpaper: barely noticed and largely unquestioned. But what if we stopped to take a closer look? KQED’s new podcast, Bay Curious, will get to the bottom of the under-the-radar mysteries and peculiarities that help give our region its unique identity. And we’ll do it with your help! You ask the questions. You decide what Bay Curious investigates. And you come along to discover the answers.

On June 29, more than 80 media outlets joined together in an extraordinary collaboration —the SF Homeless Project. The idea: one day of coverage spotlighting the issue of homelessness in the Bay Area. KQED and The San Francisco Chronicle, which organized the collaboration, each produced more than a week of coverage. KQED focused on telling first-person stories to reveal the huge range of people living on our streets. We also looked at the issue from a regional perspective and told stories of the people living on the edge of homelessness — facing housing

insecurity, living in cars and on couches, and facing eviction. And we’re proud to share that the Northern California Society of Professional Journalists recently recognized the project with its 2016 Public Service Award. On Wednesday, December 7, the collaboration will continue with another day of coordinated coverage, focusing on accountability and follow-up. This time, KQED will tell the stories of college students choosing to get an education rather than pay rent because they can’t afford to do both. Look and listen for special editions of KQED Newsroom and The California Report during the week. KQED is committed to providing ongoing coverage of the housing crisis, to help us all better understand the problems and explore solutions. kqed.org/homeless

Bay Area Bites Is Your Source for Festive Fare
Taste This host Leslie Sobrocco celebrates the holidays with a cocktail. Or three! From the sophisticated Dark and Stormy and Moscow Mule made at Spoonbar in Healdsburg to a new version of traditional eggnog created with a San Francisco twist to her own creations — the Stolen Spice and Sip ’N Pretty — Leslie will be shakin’ it up this month with the best Bay Area mixologists and offering plenty of tips and ideas for amateur forays into bartending. And lest we forget the pain that comes from over-indulgence, watch for enlightening and energizing “cures,” or hair-of-the-dog remedies, for the morning after your celebration. Dust off the bottles and shine up your shaker — toast the 2016 holidays in style.
KQED’s food blog, Bay Area Bites, is preparing a host of new recipes to inspire you during the December holidays — from mouthwatering appetizers and side dishes to delicious entrées and desserts. Then check back with BAB in the new year for special-event menus, including for Super Bowl Sunday, Easter, the Fourth of July and more.

In the late 19th century, King Ludwig II of Bavaria created extraordinary and extravagant castles that were described at the time as “so ridiculous they are beyond all taste.” Yet today these stunning palaces are among Germany’s biggest tourist attractions. Fairytale Castles of King Ludwig II explores his rich aesthetic — from the mock medievalism of Neuschwanstein, the iconic fairytale castle that inspired Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle, to the rich baroque splendor of Herrenchiemsee, Ludwig’s answer to Versailles. Fairytale Castles of King Ludwig II airs Tuesday, December 6, at 8pm on KQED 9.
