August 11, 2018 Controversy Over New Oscars Category Adds to Overall Criticism of Entertainment Industry
Shockwaves in Tinseltown and beyond.

Not only did the announcement set off a firestorm of criticism about the new category, but it renewed talk about diversity in film--or, lack thereof.

August 09, 2018 The Bay Area Economy: What’s Fueling It, What’s Helping It, What’s Hurting it?
On this weekend's In Depth, KCBS Political Reporter talks to Micah Weinberg, President of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. The Council is a public policy group sponsored by local businesses, its Economic Institute is a think tank that focuses on critical issues facing the Bay Area region. Among the issues, of course: jobs, housing and transportation. We begin with a recent report on the Bay Area economy as a whole--we always hear about how California is the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world, depending on who is crunching the numbers and when. But, the Bay Area on its own would be a pretty significant economic power.

July 25, 2018 Traffic, Congestion and Public Transit in the Bay Area
We have big problems in the Bay Area, and they arguably impact every resident. Traffic. Congestion. Backups on Bay Area bridges. Public transit that doesn't meet the needs of all commuters. Dr. Karen Philbrick, Executive Director of the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University, speaks with KCBS Radio's Stan Bunger and Holly Quan about the problems and efforts to identify solutions. And, that conversation absolutely includes talk about ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft--the benefits AND additional problems created by ride-hailing services. Transportation, Dr. Philbrick says, has to be a discussion about "personal mobility"--and that even includes skateboards, bikes--tools that help people reach transit hubs.

July 13, 2018 Hot Temperatures and Windy Conditions Fuel California's Wildfires
Last fall, wildfires burned across 7 counties in Northern California in October, killing 44 people and burning close to 9,000 structures. It was a series of stories KCBS covered extensively--and, now, this year, from the Oregon border and into California firefighters are battling hot temperatures and windy conditions. Tens of thousands of acres have burned across the state since January 1, 2018 of this year. Fire statistics suggest this is shaping up to be a particularly bad "fire year." To discuss fires, their impacts, and how to live in our climate-changing world and what can we expect in the future, KCBS reporters Jeffrey Schaub and Margie Shafer hosted In Depth, a discussion with J. Keith Gilless, Professor of Forest Economics & Dean Emeritus, College of Natural Resources, University of California, Berkeley. In this era of big wildfires, the In Depth discussion included the "big" question of where to build--and where not to build, plus many more aspects of how fire activity impacts the Bay Area--and beyond.
