KQED’s New Headquarters Takes Shape Demolition and structural steel framing at the site of KQED’s headquarters is substantially complete. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems installation is well underway. In the next several months, work on the external and interior walls will commence. (Photo by Kirsten Voss/KQED)
For the past nine months, your favorite KQED programs have been coming to you from our temporary studios in downtown San Francisco while our Mission District headquarters undergoes a major renovation to modernize how we produce and distribute our programming and engage with audiences. With a growing team of journalists and digital staff, plus changing technology, we’re renovating to ensure that the KQED you value remains relevant in a rapidly changing media landscape. The headquarters will feature a modern multidisciplinary newsroom to house our journalists, new digital production spaces and
edit suites, state-of-the-art technical infrastructure and new community convening spaces, including The Commons, dedicated to enabling civic — and civil — dialogue and to celebrating our cultural vitality. We look forward to welcoming you into our new home in mid-2021. In the meantime, you can take a virtual tour of the building at kqed.org/campaign21. KQED’s transformation is being supported by Campaign 21 — a multiyear strategic investment in KQED’s future. To learn more about the project and how you can participate, contact the team at 415.553.8497.
Don’t Miss KQED’s Special 50th Anniversary Earth Day Coverage
KQ E D.O RG •
APRIL 2020
“When the first Earth Day happened in 1970, the U.S. had no Clean Water Act and people worried about the growing hole in the ozone layer,” says Kat Snow, KQED’s senior science editor. “Today, climate change is the biggest environmental threat people face. And it seems overwhelming. But humans have solved global environmental problems before.” KQED takes a look at where we were and where we're going on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day with special on-air and online coverage the week of April 20.

RADIO SPECIALS
New KQED Radio Lineup We’re updating our radio schedule in April to bring you the very best news and cultural programming that public radio offers. We believe these updates make our lineup more diverse, current and engaging. You can see the complete new schedule on page 4. Here are some highlights. Morning Edition will start at 2am on weekends. Morning Edition changes every hour. The first hour is at 2am our time; that’s when we’ll start our broadcast.
The Takeaway moves from noon to 1pm. Tanzina Vega has breathed wonderful life intothe program with her stories and insights. Fresh Air will remain at 7pm. 1A is moving from 11pm to 9pm. We want more people to hear important, timely conversations from a unique perspective.
We’re airing The Splendid Table with Francis Lam. Some of the best food is made in the Bay Area. And you’re going to love making the food that Francis mentions. The New Yorker Radio Hour will move to Sunday at noon. We love Chris Thile and Live from Here on Saturday night at 6pm. We’re moving The Moth and The New Yorker Radio Hour to Sundays following the popular repeat of Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me. We hope you enjoy these changes and welcome your input. Please feel free to leave a comment by reaching out to fm@kqed.org. — Jonathan Blakley, KQED executive director of radio programming (in photo above)
PODCASTS
What are the podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Isabeth Mendoza, the engagement producer for KQED’s Truth Be Told podcast, what she recommends. Here are her picks. STARTER EPISODE
“Family Ties”
Truth Be Told is an advice column by and for people of color. In this episode, author Casey Gerald asks host Tonya Mosley: what would you do if you weren’t afraid? as she debates starting a relationship with her estranged father’s family. Deeply personal, the episode scrutinizes the roots of our fears that can be applied to all decisions we make.
STARTER EPISODE
“Claude Neal: A Strange and Bitter Crop”
Code Switch always delivers in providing well-researched and carefully crafted episodes on race and identity. This episode, the retelling of Claude Neal’s lynching in Jackson County, Florida, raises the bar. Poet L. Lamar Wilson, who grew up there, keeps “one of the most … well-attended lynchings in U.S. history” from being forgotten.
STARTER EPISODE
“ICE is using therapy notes to deport young immigrants”
The Washington Post’s Post Reports’ unique structure allows you to know the most pressing issues of the day while deep diving into underreported stories. One of these stories is how the government has found a loophole in provider-patient confidentiality that has physically and psychologically impacted immigrants beyond our knowing.
Listen via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, the NPR One app, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

We’ll air both hours of Here and Now Monday through Thursday. With the addition of KQED’s Tonya Mosley, the program is more relevant and timely than ever. We’ll air the second hour of Science Friday at 8pm on Fridays.
We’re adding It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders on Saturdays at 10am for a fresh recap of the week and an optimistic look ahead.

APRIL PICKS
World on Fire: An Epic New World War ll Drama Premieres Few people alive today lived through World War ll, which began over eighty years ago. What was it like to experience the start of that war? This new seven-part Masterpiece drama takes you back in time to 1939–40 as it follows the fate of five people from England, Poland, America, France and Germany. Their stories — set on the home front and the front lines — are personal and political, interconnected, and bound by bravery, love, death and forgiveness.
From the Nazi invasion of Poland to Dunkirk to the fall of Paris and beyond, World on Fire pulls you into the stories of people who lived through one of the darkest times in modern history. The series premieres on Sunday, April 5, at 9pm on KQED 9. Passport members can binge the entire series starting the night of April 5. — Ellyn Hament
The Gene: An Intimate History
Tuesdays, April 7 and 14, at 8pm on KQED 9 Explore the historical search for the human genome and the promise of modern research in this documentary by Ken Burns. The program is based on Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee’s bestselling book on how genes impact heredity, disease and behavior and features personal stories and scientific breakthroughs.

DID YOU KNOW? • About 10,000 American women were codebreakers during World War ll deciphering the complicated, constantly changing coded messages of the Axis powers. • A copy of the Mona Lisa may have saved the real thing from falling into Nazi hands. • Disney was heavily involved in the war effort and, among other contributions, designed over 1,000 different military insignias.
