The New California Public Media Education Service Brings Educational Resources to Teachers and Students
“These are unprecedented times,” says San Bernardino County superintendent and CCSESA president Ted Alejandre, “All of us are doing as much as we can to support all of our 6.2 million plus students in the state of California. It’s just a pleasure for us, the superintendents across our 58 counties, to partner with other collaborators to make sure that students get the support they need.” The Service features resources for all educators serving children from 2 years old through 12th grade and includes professional development courses and webinars as well as classroom media and lesson plans for use with students. “Only public media could do this,” says Jamie Annunzio Myers, Chief Operating Officer at PBS SoCal. “We put together a one-stop shop that can serve teachers, families and students across the state.” Educators across the state can freely access the Service at ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/california-public-media-education-service

KQED and the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) have teamed up with public media stations across the state to provide free, high-quality educational services to all California students and teachers. The California Public Media Education Service is a new initiative that grew out of the At-Home Learning rapid response to the wave of COVID-19 school closures in spring 2020. This new service collects all of the free digital resources and online events offered by California public media in one easy-tonavigate place.

RADIO SPECIAL
Our Body Politic Presents News by and for Black Women and Women of Color In a political media landscape dominated by white men, Our Body Politic, an audio series hosted by award-winning journalist Farai Chideya, offers a source of news by and for Black women and women of color. Presented by KQED, KPCC and KCRW, part of the California Regional News Hub collaboration of public media stations, Our Body Politic examines how Black women and women of color are influencing the current presidential race while chronicling how they’re working to reframe and rebuild America and find higher ground to lead the country.
Each week, Chideya engages and features Black women and women of color from around the country, including prominent politicians, leading journalists and influential entertainers as well as “everyday experts” who will provide a window into what’s happening in their lives, regions and states. Tune in to Our Body Politic on Saturdays at 6pm on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM, or listen to the podcast version wherever you get your podcasts.
“This is our time to vote, to live and to thrive amid the chaos of America,” says Chideya. “People are in such deep pain, but they’re also filled with passion. Black women and women of color disproportionately do the unpaid civic labor of standing up for rights that benefit us all — full and fair voting rights, equitable housing policy and desegregation of workplaces. Women of color come from many different races, income brackets and cultural and religious background, as well as different political party affiliations. We are not an afterthought in politics, but a key driver of the future of this nation.”
PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Erin Baldassari, KQED’s housing reporter and co-host of SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America. STARTER EPISODE “ZONING OUT”
SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America is a new limited-run KQED podcast series that looks at solutions to the country's housing crisis. In “Zoning Out,” we take a deep dive into something many of us take for granted: the origins of single-family neighborhoods. It’s a critical look at how the policies we put in place nearly a century ago helped reinforce the racial segregation we still see in our neighborhoods today. And you’ll never guess which city was the first to do it.
The Uncertain Hour dives into one controversial topic each season. In this episode, Marketplace host Krissy Clark takes a government program we've all heard of — welfare — and shows us how little we actually know about it. It’s a series that’s best heard in order, but if you only listen to one episode make it this one.
STARTER EPISODE “I WILL ALWAYS LEAVE YOU”
The rock star team at Radiolab, which weaves deep-dive journalism with innovative sound design, looks at Dolly Parton’s America in “I will always leave you.” This is an unvarnished look at Parton, one of the most polished women in America. If you aren’t already a fan, you’ll gain a newfound respect for the country icon. And for the die-hard fans out there, this is a must-listen.

Staff Picks November is Native American Heritage month, and while you’ll find many programs broadcast on KQED television channels that explore the Native American experience, some programs will be available for streaming only to members of KQED Passport. Native America is a four-part series that explores the extraordinary world created by Native Americans through a combination of science, scholarship and traditional indigenous knowledge. This is the Americas as never seen before — featuring sacred rituals filmed for the first time, scientific discoveries, breathtaking animation of the sacred stories of oral traditions and rarely heard voices from the living legacy of Native American culture. It’s a beautiful and inspiring series and available to stream now. —Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming

Don’t Miss Roadkill, a Smashing New Masterpiece Series Starring Hugh Laurie
NOVEMBER PICKS
Frankie Drake Mysteries, Season 3 Premiere

Politics. Elections. We’re living and breathing them now. Roadkill offers you a fictional break from the real political drama. Hugh Laurie (from House) stars as an aggressive and ambitious self-made British businessman turned politician in this four-part series. His personal and private lives are unraveling as his enemies reveal them and attack. Does he feel remorse or guilt for his actions? Will he still go on to greater political heights or experience a shattering fall? No spoiler alerts here, but expect a riveting, well-written (by David Hare, who wrote the screenplay for The Hours) drama that tackles some current political issues and questions. Roadkill, Episode 1 of 4, airs on Sunday, November 1, at 9pm on KQED 9. —Ellyn Hament
Monday, November 2, at 8:47, on KQED Plus Frankie, who runs an allfemale detective agency in the 1920s, is back. In the Season 3 opening episode, Frankie must work with (drum roll) Agatha Christie to uncover the reason behind the disappearance of a wartime friend, who goes missing in London.

DID YOU KNOW? Speaking of politics (this time closer to home), did you know: • Prop 18 asks if 17-year-olds should be allowed to vote in primaries if they turn 18 by Election Day. Eighteen other states and the District of Columbia already allow this.

• In 2001, President George W. Bush banned federal funding for stem cell research. Californians then passed a $3 billion bond measure to support the research in 2004. This year, voters will weigh in on whether to re-up that funding. To learn more about the propositions, go to kqed.org/propfest or our Voter Guide at kqed.org/voterguide.

Nature: Primates, Secrets of Survival
Wednesday, November 4, at 8pm on KQED 9 Exploring the animal world is always interesting and a good palette refresher during tense times. Check out this new show, which focuses on survival strategies used by primates, often in the most unexpected places. Photo courtesy of Alexandra Fennell ©BBC

• Two props this year involve property taxes. Both hearken back to 1978’s Prop 13, which put limits on how much property tax homeowners pay. Some call Prop 13 the “third rail” in California politics — something no politician can touch.
