Bay Area Book Festival
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.” —Ellyn Hament What drew you to join KQED and what are you looking forward to working on here? I’ve long admired the KQED Arts & Culture team’s diverse, inclusive coverage — the way writers such as Nastia Voynovskaya and Pendarvis Harshaw tap into communities that have historically been overlooked by the mainstream media. That’s always been my approach toward writing about food as well — to give the neighborhood taco truck or pho shop the same respect and depth of coverage that you’d give to a Michelinstarred fine-dining restaurant. So it feels great to be among like-minded folks. I’m also excited that the job will give me the time and space to think big and put together some cool packages of stories built around a specific theme or cuisine. Keep your eyes out for the first one, which should drop sometime in the coming month. Which cuisines, foods or food trends do you think will become popular in the near future? I’m always wary of talking about cuisines that have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years as “trends.” That said, Malaysian, Singaporean and Venezuelan food businesses have been some of the most exciting newcomers of the past year. I’d be delighted if they got a little bit more mainstream recognition in the Bay Area. There’s also a new generation of hip — and quite delicious — vegan restaurants that are transforming the public’s perception of meat-free eating.
Sadly, many restaurants have been hard hit by the pandemic and many have closed or are closing. Do you see any silver linings in this – new ways of operating, perhaps, or something else? It has been such a brutal year for the restaurant industry, but one small silver lining is that a large number of laidoff chefs have used this time to launch new pop-ups and Instagram-based food businesses, selling, say, arepas or laksa directly to customers online. Many of these cooks are immigrants or children of immigrants who are serving the cuisine of their own cultural heritage for the first time after spending years working in somebody else’s kitchen, cooking somebody else’s food. Some of the most delicious meals I’ve eaten in recent months have been at these pop-ups. If they’re able to morph into permanent, sustainable businesses, the Bay Area food scene will be much stronger for it. Is there anything else you’d like people to know about you or your new role at KQED? I’m always thinking ahead to my next meal, and I would be grateful if readers would send along their most passionate food recommendations. You can email me at ltsai@kqed.org or contact me on Twitter @theluketsai.

RADIO
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”
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.

Staff Picks 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 of Television Programming

Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir Offers an Intimate Look at Her Life and Work In tenth grade, my English teacher passed out a syllabus that included novels mostly written by white men whose work was typically required reading, but one book stood out: The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan. My 15-year-old Korean and Filipino American self was thrilled to see that we'd be studying the work of a Chinese American woman. The Joy Luck Club became the first novel I read that was written by an Asian American author. It was also one of the first to make its way into the American mainstream and to impact popular culture. Although the experiences she describes are Asian American, the emotions are universal. This is part of the magic of Tan’s writing.
In Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir on American Masters, we get a very personal look at her life, including her often-difficult relationship with her mother and how her business writing career transformed into a more creative one. It’s heartbreaking, honest, inspiring and truly a privilege to see the stunning photographs and nostalgic video footage from her family’s archives. You can catch Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir on American Masters on Monday, May 3, at 9pm on KQED 9. It will stream on KQED Passport the same night it premieres. —Sophie Kim
Saturday, May 22, at 8pm on KQED 9 A pair of space cowboys must rescue a princess and save the galaxy from a ruthless race of beings known as Spaceballs in this 1987 film.
