OCTOBER 2020
2 SREYLIN MEAS. DREAMING, DIRECTOR CALFORNIA 2020: CAAMFEST Cover: Michael Tilson Thomas; photo by Bill Swerbenski NEWS + NOTES
KQED Has You Covered This Election With a series of pivotal choices facing voters on the ballot this November, KQED is providing you with the tools you need to make informed decisions.
At the top of the ballot, KQED reporters are leaning on decades of experience covering Democratic vice presidential nominee (and Bay Area native) Kamala Harris. Our feature coverage is delving into Harris’ record from her time as district attorney of San Francisco to the years she spent as attorney general of California and beyond — examining the tough choices Harris faced in weighing the demands of law enforcement and advocates for criminal justice reform.
KQED journalists covering housing, criminal justice, health and economic equity will join our politics team to cover the twelve statewide ballot measures and a myriad of local initiatives on Bay Area ballots — including controversial proposals on policing, rent control, Uber and Lyft drivers and property taxes. Forum and Bay Curious will air segments explaining the measures, while KQED reporters will participate in virtual events (see Ballots and Brews on page 2) to answer audience questions. And every week, on Political Breakdown, Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos will bring listeners an in-depth conversation with the people shaping politics and policy in the Golden State.
California’s voting process is changing quickly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic: every voter is being mailed a ballot while many counties are opting to consolidate polling places. Our politics team is following these changes to the voter experience, and highlighting the challenges officials face in their ability to hold a safe and efficient election.
In addition, we’re offering a KQED Voter Guide, which features clear, impartial information about every state proposition and Bay Area measure, including easy-to-understand summaries, details about who supports and opposes each proposition, links to KQED’s original reporting and more. It will be available online at kqed.org/voterguide in early October. Visit kqed.org/ OCTOBER 2020 OCTOBER electionsnews for all our ongoing coverage. •
With vote counting expected to last days or weeks after the election, KQED and NPR will keep you informed with nightly updates, results and analysis. When polls close on November 3, we’ll offer live results for every contest in the nine Bay Area counties at kqed.org/elections/results. KQED.ORG

Staff Picks For more than three decades, filmmaker Ken Burns and his colleagues at Florentine Films have produced some of the most critically acclaimed and most watched documentaries on public television. Burns has devoted his career to examining the American experience from his first documentary on PBS in 1981 — Brooklyn Bridge, nominated for an Academy award — to Country Music (2019) and East Lake Meadows (2020), which looks at a public housing community in Atlanta. The Ken Burns Collection is available to stream on-demand with KQED Passport now and includes 28 films and series. It’s an amazing list of documentaries. If you don’t know where to start, I recommend just going down the list in alphabetical order, which means you get to start your marathon with the beloved Baseball series.

Of course there is.

I spoke with him recently on the day when Bay Area skies glowed orange from the fires (“almost biblical,” he noted) and learned more about his music and his life.
Tilson Thomas is featured in two upcoming shows on KQED 9. On Friday, October 23, at 9pm we’ll air a new American Masters’ documentary Michael Tilson Thomas: Where Now Is. And on Thursday, October 29, we’ll broadcast Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony: S&M 2, which focuses on symphonic renditions of Metallica fan favorites.

How has the pandemic affected your work? The San Francisco Symphony’s tour to New York and Europe and the rest of the orchestra’s season were cancelled. It’s hard because the members of the orchestra had been doing these 187 pieces over many years and we were looking forward to enjoying each other’s company and Friday, October 9, at having the pleasure of just being back in the national parks of symphonic culture.
