Meet Forum’s Mina Kim Over the past decade, Mina Kim has become one of KQED’s most familiar and beloved radio voices. A native of Canada, Mina grew up in St. John’s in Newfoundland. She started at KQED as an intern. When the station began expanding its local news coverage in 2010, she became a general assignment news reporter, then health reporter for The California Report before becoming Forum’s Friday host at the end of 2014. Over this past summer, she took over daily hosting duties of the statewide 10am hour of Forum, which now is carried by other public radio stations statewide. Mina and the Forum team are building the show to help create a space for Californians to have a daily conversation about current affairs and the state’s experience by centering on race, justice and equality. —Peter Cavagnaro
With the recent format change to the second hour of Forum, you’re no longer speaking just to a Bay Area audience, but to Californians up and down the state. How has that changed the conversations for you? Having people from more regions of the state join our daily Forum conversation has made me feel more connected to the “nation of California” and made my world feel bigger at a time when the pandemic forced it to shrink.
One of the themes for the second hour of Forum is to look at current events through the lens of race, justice and equality. How has your lived experience prepared you for the conversations? My producers and I are often surprised at how personally connected we are to our show topics. I’m the daughter of Korean immigrants and lost my dad to a heart attack at the age of 8. My teen years saw a lot of emotional and financial struggles. And, of course, the recent increase in the number of anti-Asian hate incidents has been no less painful for being expected.
The format of the show is not the only major change to Forum. Shelter-in-place has required you to APRIL 2021 host from your home for the past year. How has that gone for you — both as host and as a mother? • I haven’t had any “BBC Dad” moments yet though a few close calls! All three of my kids have been home with me and my spouse throughout the pandemic, so yeah, it’s been hectic. He likes to joke we’re running a radio station, law firm and childcare center out of our house.

Staff Picks Masterpiece continues its 50th anniversary season with another stunning drama premiering this month. Atlantic Crossing is an epic drama based on the little-known true story of the relationship between Norwegian Crown Princess Martha and President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II. Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Sex and the City) stars as Roosevelt, opposite Swedish star Sofia Helin (The Bridge) as the courageous Martha, who flees the Nazis with her three young children and lives under Roosevelt’s protection. The eight-part series shows war from a woman’s point of view and ranges back and forth across the North Atlantic throughout World War II, depicting momentous events in the changing fortunes of Norway, Great Britain and the United States. I was hooked from the first episode, and Passport makes it easy to binge with all episodes available to stream starting on the night of the premiere (April 4). —Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming Photo courtesy of MASTERPIECE.

SATURDAY DID YOU KNOW? NIGHT MOVIE • FDR made a secret trip to the Bay Area in 1942 to get a firsthand account of military production and citizen morale during WWll. Newspapers, including The San Francisco Chronicle, agreed to keep silent on the story for national security concerns.
• FDR made history when he appointed Francis Perkins as Secretary of Labor. She was the first woman to hold a cabinet post in a U.S. presidential administration.
• In 1944, FDR was elected to a fourth term. It’s unlikely a president will serve that long again; the 22nd Amendment, Inherit the Wind enacted in 1951, limits presidents to two terms.

Ken Burns and Lynn Novick explore both his personal and literary life in this new, three-part, six-hour documentary. Focusing on his life at the intersection of fame, art and celebrity with selected excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels and nonfiction, the series offers an intimate picture of a writer whose work remains influential. It also explores the myth of Hemingway as a man’s man, delving into his deeply troubled and ultimately tragic life, and explores his limitations and biases as a writer.
Hemingway Monday, April 5, at 8pm and 10pm on KQED 9
Hemingway is sponsored by Kraw Law, Oakland International Airport and San Francisco Opera.
