6 Bay Area Pioneers (Monday, July 2 at 7pm & Tuesday, July 3 at 9pm) In an era where the most talked about people tend to be the young movers and shakers of the moment, it is easy to forget the pioneers who set the stage for the innovators of today. Host Lauren Meltzer takes listeners back in time to listen to the stories of three Bay Area pioneers whose initiatives and actions influenced the cultural, technological, and environmental landscape of the Bay Area: • Julius Blank – one of the founders of Silicon Valley • Sylvia McLaughlin – instrumental in keeping San Francisco Bay from being developed into waterfront property • Frank Jackson (pictured with Lauren Meltzer) – pioneer and legend of the Fillmore jazz era Play the Match Game for KALW!

Volunteer Profile – The Dynamic Duo of Tom & Toni When did you start volunteering for KALW? Tom Mason: “I found KALW on the dial by chance in 1988 and have been listening ever since. The first pledge drive I volunteered for was in the aftermath of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, where we had phones set up in the McConnell High School gym! I’ve been helping out on the phones and in other ways ever since.” Toni Lozica: “I started listening to KALW at Tom’s suggestion. When I retired several years ago, I decided to help out as a volunteer as well. In addition to helping doing data entry during the pledge drives, I mail out the thank-you gifts and help out with the monthly mailings of renewal letters.” What’s your favorite program on KALW? Tom: “I start each weekday with Joe Burke and Morning Edition at 5am. Toni: “Fresh Air, Whad’ya Know, and Binah are my favorites!” What keeps you coming back? “The volunteers are a great group of friendly and dedicated people. Their enthusiastic support of the station’s progressive agenda makes it a pleasure to be around them. We both want to support this true community asset.”
In April, KALW’s community storytelling project Hear Here did its first pop-up recording session at the Golden Gate Branch of the Oakland Public Library. Underneath the stomping feet of children’s story hour going on upstairs, local residents shared their stories with Hear Here producers on the theme of Work. Since then, Hear Here has popped up in the San Francisco library system at the Main and Ortega branches – and has moved on to the theme of Eat. Xiao Juan Shu told her story of reconnecting with her mother’s love through the pleasure of simple Chinese cooking. Xiao Juan Shu Oakland native Ramona Nunez shared her desire to pursue her passion for Afro- Haitian dance and her dream of becoming a doctor: “I mean, why can’t I do both?” Baker Ryan Marcus Lee explained how to make the perfect loaf of bread – and why it matters to him: “There’s this kind of connection that’s formed with our ancestors in the process… In this day and age when bread production has become so commercialized Ramona Nunez and to try and experiment with doing it the way our ancestors do it really forms a connection.” Tune into Crosscurrents on KALW at 5pm during the week of July 23rd to hear stories Hear Here has collected so far. That’s also when you can learn details on the launch party for the project’s new mobile recording booth! It’s part public art installation and part recording space and is coming to a San Francisco or Oakland park near you!
