Children are often the most vulnerable, as disrupted peer relationships, stress and anxiety can impact a child’s emotional and academic development. The effects are compounded when moves are frequent or the result of instability: Research shows that the millions of children facing housing insecurity in the United States are more likely to struggle in school and drop out. APM reports on this in Students on the Move, the first in a series of education documentaries coming to KQED. Hear more about how housing insecurity affects children, particularly homeless children and children of migrant farmworkers, and what we can do to help them succeed in school. Climate One: Cities for the Future Airs Thursday, August 8, at 8pm Ask any Bay Area resident: Cities are experiencing a growth spurt. We’ve seen it in the competition for housing, skyrocketing rents, the influx of traffic and the new developments popping up left and right. It’s hard not to worry about the sustainability of this growth trend when more than half of the global population lives in urban centers and another 2.5 billion people are expected to join them there by 2050. Climate One brings us a conversation with architect Jan Gehl, who helped turn Times Square into a more pedestrian- friendly place and has influenced urban planning globally with his people-centered approach to urban design. Gehl provides insight on designing sustainable cities that can withstand the challenges of climate change and rapid population growth. PODCASTS What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Ericka Cruz Guevarra, producer of KQED’s The Bay podcast, what she recommends. Here are her picks. STARTER EPISODE “How Gay Activists in San Francisco Educated the World About AIDS” What’s happening here in the Bay Area? The Bay focuses on one story, one conversation, and one idea to widen the lens on what may seem like a simple news headline. This episode explores how gay activists raised global awareness around AIDS. STARTER EPISODE “The Scarlet E, Part 1: Why?” How does the media shape our worldview? On the Media is WNYC’s weekly investigation of this question. “Introducing the Scarlet E” is the beginning of a three-part series that takes a deep look into what we think we know — and don’t know — about evictions in America. STARTER EPISODE AUGUST 2019 2019 AUGUST • “When Money Makes It Weird” This Is Uncomfortable is a podcast series about life and how money messes with it. In this episode, the host digs into what happens when one person in a relationship has way more money than the other.
