PODCASTS

What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Julie Caine, KQED’s senior editor for podcasts, what she recommends. Here are her picks.

STARTER EPISODE “From D-Boys to Dope Art” KQED’s Rightnowish podcast talks with artists, creators and culture keepers to learn about the past, present and future of a place through art. Here we meet artist Timothy B., who has been putting paint where it ain’t for many years, but his story is deeper than fresh paint on a wall. It’s an embodiment of how much Oakland has changed over the past two decades.

STARTER EPISODE “The Fight for a True Democracy” 1619 is more than a podcast. Hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 is the story of our nation starting 400 years ago with the arrival of enslaved Africans in Virginia. The series is powerful in its deeply personal and fundamentally systemic reframing of American history.

Premieres During Pledge: Sunday, December 1, at 7:30pm on KQED 9 Back in the day, I was famous for my “Mostly Motown” dance parties. Aretha Franklin’s songs always topped my playlist. Her soulful, powerful singing worked like a magnet, pulling people joyfully onto the dance floor. Aretha got the party started — and still does, more than a year after her death — even if the party is simply dancing in your living room or quietly soaking in a beautiful ballad.

This new show offers plenty of chances to dance or hear her powerhouse voice as the Queen of Soul Harry Potter: takes center stage in Aretha Franklin Remembered (My Music), premiering on December 1 at 7:30pm A History of during pledge.

We’ll Meet Again The holiday season is all about celebrating what you’ve got and the family and friends around us (or so multiple Lifetime movies and Love Actually have told us), but it can also be stressful. Raise your hand if you’re with us on this one.

When you’re hosting, it can be hard to narrow down what to cook for everyone. When it comes to gift giving, who really needs another pair of fun socks? And what about when you’re reuniting with outspoken family members whose views are different from yours?

That’s why we’re curating a small series of emails covering holiday prep; gift-giving; self-care and, most important, food, so you can make the best of the holiday season! To sign up for the emails, go to kqed.org/bayareabites/sign-up. Then cue your favorite wintry jingle (we have a soft spot for Boyz II Men’s “Let It Snow”), sit back and get ready for the recommendations.
