A Push to Reopen California Schools and A Day in the Pandemic Life of a Teacher

The debate rages on about when California schools should bring students back to campuses after nearly a year since schools shut down in-person classes. Distance learning is taking a toll on students and parents. It’s also taking a toll on teachers, especially those with their own kids at home. KQED’s Vanessa Rancaño asked one Oakland teacher to keep an audio diary for a day, documenting her every move. Plus, California public health officials have given the green light for school sports to start up again. Finally, medical experts and politicians have pointed to the Tuskegee study as a reason why Black Americans have reservations about the coronavirus vaccine. But as KQED's April Dembosky found, in most cases, Tuskegee is a scapegoat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A Friendship Beyond Prison Walls and a Ferlinghetti Soundscape

Adamu Chan and Edmond Richardson met while they were incarcerated at San Quentin about two years ago, and have been best friends ever since. Adamu was released last fall, and they’ve kept in touch by writing letters to each other. We’ll hear part of an episode Adamu helped produce for the KALW Public Media podcast, “Uncuffed.” Then, we mark the loss of literary giant Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who died on February 22nd at the age of 101. Poet, activist, and publisher of many Beat poets of the 1950s and 60s, Ferlinghetti was considered by many to be the soul of San Francisco’s counterculture movement.

Some garment workers in LA spend their days sewing masks and gowns for first responders.

Partying During COVID, and Why Can't I Get The Shot?

Partying During COVID, and Why Can't I Get The Shot?

We are almost reaching the year mark when it comes to how long many of us have been stuck inside at home. And if you live with roommates, that space can feel smaller and smaller as time goes on. But what happens when roommates have different ideas about what it means to be safe during COVID? That’s the question KQED’s Adhiti Bandlamudi has been wrestling with. She usually reports on Silicon Valley, but today she brings us a first-person account of what it’s like being a Millennial with roommates she never imagined she’d be stuck with in a pandemic. Plus, changes to the state's vaccine rollout, and a 9-year-old poet brings us a message of hope.

Plus, we drop in on a family excitedly watching the inauguration of Vice President Kamala Harris with their two young daughters who see themselves in her.
