I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

I kept revisiting this one neighborhood in Modesto, one that is its own contained universe despite being just a few short blocks. It’s basically where people go to check out.

The whole process turned into a street studio of sorts. We’d look for a white wall, something on the fly and very simple, amidst a busy city. I found that it required someone, as subject, to be generous or not embarrassed to go through the process with me. I met several people like that, and I think part of that willingness comes from feeling ignored otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, the people I got to know on the Nine, which is local speak for that block of South Ninth Street in Modesto, got to know me and a few details about my past including a cousin and childhood friend who both succumbed to drug use.

What they can’t do is convey context of the conversations, exchanges, experiences, and energy of what was often meeting someone for the first time. I want the photographs and the film to live on their own. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film had been in the back of my mind for a while, and I was feeling like I need to do something new and to challenge myself. I kept revisiting this one neighborhood in Modesto, one that is its own contained universe despite being just a few short blocks. It’s basically where people go to check out. The more time I spent there, and the more I got to know people living there, it felt like a situation and space I wanted to know better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Davis has lived within a block of the Armory for 20 years, and “it’s almost like they were pushing the boundaries to see what they could get away with, and now they want even more latitude.

Davis and other neighbors suggested that the transgression illustrates how Joseph’s role at the Armory appears to shield the venue from regulatory oversight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a prepared statement, a representative of the Armory wrote that the venue “did not want to go forward” with the unpermitted events, but that canceling the shows would have resulted in a potentially costly breach of contract with the promoter, Live Nation. Thus, the Armory brazenly proceeded. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records show that representatives of the Armory sought permits for only two of the four events, and that the Entertainment Commission granted only one, as per the venue’s longstanding restrictions. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Armory.OneNightEventPermitEmails.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emails obtained through a public records request [.PDF]\u003c/a> also seem to validate neighbors’ concerns about conflicts of interest, a topic that’s dogged the commission almost since its founding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to the Armory regarding a special permit application for two events on Feb. 12 and 13, Jocelyn Kane, Executive Director of the Entertainment Commission, wrote to approve just one, for Feb. 12. Kane added special mention that “I hope [Joseph] indicated that she and I spoke about permitting that one only.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Joseph — who’s required to recuse herself from all Armory matters that appear before the commission — to act as liaison between her employer and the regulatory body of which she’s a member appears questionable in light of city ethics rules and the commission’s Statement of Incompatible Activities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane, reached by phone, argued that it’s normal for commissioners to interact with “promoters,” referring to her colleague. She acknowledged, however, that the Armory and Joseph appear to have knowingly thrown unpermitted events. Is it especially inappropriate for a venue with a commissioner on its payroll to flout regulation? “It’s inappropriate for anybody to do something without a permit,” Kane says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether or not neighbors’ objections and the Armory’s permitting infractions will elicit repercussions at the hearing tomorrow, Kane replies, “Is there judgment from my standpoint as a regulator? Absolutely. People should expect to see potential consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/09/24/entertainment-commission-nightlife-heroes-or-instrument-of-destruction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report from September of last year\u003c/a>, KQED found that Joseph, who did not attend the community meeting and declined comment for this article, appears to have inappropriately interacted with the SF Planning Department on the Armory’s behalf in 2015. \u003ca name=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>UPDATE\u003c/strong>: The Entertainment Commission approved the Armory’s permit request in a hugely attended, three-hour hearing Tuesday night. Kink.com CEO Peter Ackworth apologized to the Entertainment Commission for holding the unpermitted concerts, stating that “those events were too loud and we made a mistake. There’s no question about that.” The Armory insists it will turn the volume down and increase security at future concerts. Neighbor Amanda Gregory echoed critics in saying that “it’s a little hard to trust that the Armory is actually going to follow through with what they say they’re going to do after they’ve thrown three shows where they didn’t have a permit.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Also on Tuesday, Supervisor David Campos publicly withdrew his support for the Armory’s permit request, specifically citing KQED’s coverage as a determining factor.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>UPDATE:\u003c/strong> On April 18, Inspector Sean D.

And with the events director who’s also a commissioner?… We don’t know if we can trust the process.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10917676\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 698px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015\" width=\"698\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10917676\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph.jpg 698w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/08/Audrey-Joseph-400x229.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joseph being sworn in once again to the San Francisco Entertainment Commission in 2015. \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Audrey Joseph)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In February, “pushing the boundaries” took the form of the Armory hosting four shows in that month, despite having received permit approval from the Entertainment Commission for only one of them. Davis and other neighbors suggested that the transgression illustrates how Joseph’s role at the Armory appears to shield the venue from regulatory oversight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a prepared statement, a representative of the Armory wrote that the venue “did not want to go forward” with the unpermitted events, but that canceling the shows would have resulted in a potentially costly breach of contract with the promoter, Live Nation. Thus, the Armory brazenly proceeded. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records show that representatives of the Armory sought permits for only two of the four events, and that the Entertainment Commission granted only one, as per the venue’s longstanding restrictions. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/04/Armory.OneNightEventPermitEmails.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emails obtained through a public records request [.PDF]\u003c/a> also seem to validate neighbors’ concerns about conflicts of interest, a topic that’s dogged the commission almost since its founding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an email to the Armory regarding a special permit application for two events on Feb. 12 and 13, Jocelyn Kane, Executive Director of the Entertainment Commission, wrote to approve just one, for Feb. 12. Kane added special mention that “I hope [Joseph] indicated that she and I spoke about permitting that one only.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Joseph — who’s required to recuse herself from all Armory matters that appear before the commission — to act as liaison between her employer and the regulatory body of which she’s a member appears questionable in light of city ethics rules and the commission’s Statement of Incompatible Activities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kane, reached by phone, argued that it’s normal for commissioners to interact with “promoters,” referring to her colleague. She acknowledged, however, that the Armory and Joseph appear to have knowingly thrown unpermitted events. Is it especially inappropriate for a venue with a commissioner on its payroll to flout regulation? “It’s inappropriate for anybody to do something without a permit,” Kane says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked whether or not neighbors’ objections and the Armory’s permitting infractions will elicit repercussions at the hearing tomorrow, Kane replies, “Is there judgment from my standpoint as a regulator? Absolutely. People should expect to see potential consequences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/09/24/entertainment-commission-nightlife-heroes-or-instrument-of-destruction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report from September of last year\u003c/a>, KQED found that Joseph, who did not attend the community meeting and declined comment for this article, appears to have inappropriately interacted with the SF Planning Department on the Armory’s behalf in 2015. \u003ca name=\"update\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>UPDATE\u003c/strong>: The Entertainment Commission approved the Armory’s permit request in a hugely attended, three-hour hearing Tuesday night. Kink.com CEO Peter Ackworth apologized to the Entertainment Commission for holding the unpermitted concerts, stating that “those events were too loud and we made a mistake. There’s no question about that.” The Armory insists it will turn the volume down and increase security at future concerts. Neighbor Amanda Gregory echoed critics in saying that “it’s a little hard to trust that the Armory is actually going to follow through with what they say they’re going to do after they’ve thrown three shows where they didn’t have a permit.” \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Also on Tuesday, Supervisor David Campos publicly withdrew his support for the Armory’s permit request, specifically citing KQED’s coverage as a determining factor.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Sunday afternoon, around 5 pm, I was walking home from the grocery store wearing jeans, a hoodie, and a mild hangover, struggling with multiple heavy bags. As I finished walking across a street a few blocks from my house, the man in the car stopped at the crosswalk stuck his head out the window and hollered at me. I turned around to see if it was someone I knew. It was not. It was just a man hollering at me. He wanted to let me know he found me attractive and would like to spend some time with me, though not in those exact words. Cool. I kept walking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a block and a half later, this same car pulled up to round a different corner, in a different direction than it had been going before. This time, my new friend stuck half his body out the window in order to holler at me more effectively. Upon realizing it was the same person, I made eye contact, made a not-happy face, said \u003cem>\"Seriously!?\"\u003c/em> and kept walking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thirty seconds later, I became aware that someone was running up behind me. I turned to find that this man had exited his car -- left it running? no one parks that quickly around 16th and Dolores -- and was now planning to convince me to talk to and/or sleep with him by walking alongside me, putting his face inches from mine, and continuing to tell me his thoughts about my appearance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21844\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-21844\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Paste by Philadelphia artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2016/04/img_8196-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paste by Philadelphia artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Here is where, as any female-bodied person will tell you, a few different things take place over the course of about 10 seconds. One is you scan the surrounding area. It was broad daylight, and the Mission was full of people leaving Dolores Park after a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

This is true -- I am not single -- but it also bothers me beyond words to rely on that as an escape route from harassment; it's infuriating that it's one of the few \"no\"s men will actually hear. So, factor in a moment of deep resentment and a tinge of self-loathing about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/oddlyshannon/status/716971679990333442\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After about a minute of walking with me, trying to get my number, asking if I instead had a sister or any friends for him (definitely! here are their phone numbers!) and -- as a parting thought, a coup de grâce, really -- \u003cem>telling me to follow him on Instagram\u003c/em>, he went away. Five minutes later, I was home, making dinner, perfectly fine. I wasn't exactly traumatized by this event, but still couldn't help replaying the entire thing in my head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was his ideal end result to that interaction, and just how likely did he find said conclusion? How could I have handled it differently? Did I just miss a teaching moment? Will I ever just scream \u003cem>\"Get the f*\u003c/em>\u003cem>ck away from me!\"\u003c/em>? And maybe most importantly: Why am \u003cem>I\u003c/em> the one mulling over how to modify my behavior in the first place?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am also intrigued by the possibility that I was just the unwitting target of a really avant-garde guerrilla marketing technique by an up-and-coming social media star in the making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless: Thanks, Jen Kirkman, for the reminder that while we may be accustomed to such interactions, it's not actually totally natural to live in a world that is constantly chucking small sharp objects at you. Believe me, I'm tired of reading about it. I've pretty much only written this post on the topic, but I'm also already tired of writing about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, logic will tell you that such blog posts shall only cease when the world offers us some better material. Talk to your sons, people. I hope everyone has a lovely walk home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

This is true -- I am not single -- but it also bothers me beyond words to rely on that as an escape route from harassment; it's infuriating that it's one of the few \"no\"s men will actually hear. So, factor in a moment of deep resentment and a tinge of self-loathing about that.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>UPDATE: Steve Julian died on April 24, 2016. KPCC published a lovely tribute \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/04/24/58999/steve-julian-longtime-voice-of-kpcc-s-morning-edit/\">here\u003c/a>. His wife, Felicia Friesema, wrote on the blog she's been maintaining during his last months, \"He left this world surrounded by love, in the comfort of the home we made together, in his own bed.\" Our hearts go out to Felicia in this time of grief. We trust this story provided some measure of comfort for her when it first went up on April 1, 2016. We hope that others who encounter this story now, after Steve's death, share our profound love and compassion for those who suffer from devastating diseases, as well as those who care for them, all the way through to the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"My experience on social media is that it has always been a connecting fiber. I think that, like anything, you get out of it what you put into it.\" -- Felicia Friesema\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia had seen the signs of brain cancer before. Her husband Steve Julian wasn't just forgetting his keys on the kitchen counter or having another of the myriad brain farts we often associate with middle age. He'd stop in the middle of a sentence, like he'd just hit a brick wall, and that was that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn’t that kind of gradual onset that Alzheimer’s is. It didn’t sound or feel like dementia. This was so sudden -- and it was very eerily similar to what happened to my aunt, my tia Gloria,\" Felicia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, it was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, they've built a cozy life together in a sweet, spacious home overlooking the 110 freeway in Highland Park. She's head of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://foothilltransit.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foothill Transit\u003c/a>. Steve Julian is one of a handful of trusted voices helping Angelenos navigate the freeways every day, as morning anchor for KPCC-FM. In his off hours, he writes \u003ca href=\"https://stevejulian.wordpress.com/resume/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plays\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, he was having trouble navigating his way through a sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Technically, all tumors are operable,\" Felicia explains. \"The question that comes into play is: What are you willing to sacrifice in order to get it out? The position and location of his tumor is such that you would have to completely destroy a lot of healthy brain tissue in order to remove it. You would be creating a situation of paralysis, major cognitive dysfunction, irreversible brain damage, and ultimately for possibly very little reward. There’s no way of skirting around it: I was looking at his death.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916469\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 526px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10916469\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Julian and Felicia Friesema in happier times.\" width=\"526\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut.jpg 526w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18926_28415_1471890202083_544618_n-qut-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Julian and Felicia Friesema in happier times. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Felicia Friesema)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Around Thanksgiving last year, Steve was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of 57. They decided not to try to stretch his last months with chemo and radiation therapy. Steve has less time than he might have, but he can eat what he wants, sleep with their dogs, and squeeze the last juice out of the days that remain with Felicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's taking time off from work, thanks to a compassionate boss. In the 20 or more hours a day that Steve now sleeps, Felicia takes care of everything else: the meals, the housekeeping, the medicine, insurance and the emotional management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, friends and family are helping. Larry Mantle, Steve's dearest pal, comes over for company and a wee dram of whiskey. Friends have delivered dozens of lasagnas to the doorstep and whipped out their credit cards to cover what insurance doesn't. But at the end of the day, Felicia is alone. And every morning, there's a little bit less of Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout alignright\">\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://u.s.kqed.net/2015/09/14/LITDApodcastlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-in-the-digital-age/id1037051180?mt=2\">Subscribe in iTunes\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don't miss an episode of 'Love in the Digital Age'\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Out Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a few months in when I noticed Felicia's journal on \u003ca href=\"http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevejulian/journal/view/id/56f6a61ba689b47372c967f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caring Bridge\u003c/a>.

We had to fly down to Los Angeles and meet this woman who wrote so deeply, thoughtfully, and with such compassion, about a journey no one chooses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I know that this is treacherous ground we walk on and that time is of the essence. We wake up to the juxtaposition of joy in another day together and terror at what may come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no detailed prognosis yet. But we do know that there is no outcome we like. And I have never been so scared. But I have also never been so completely full of love for him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That was Dec. 2, 2015. At that point, Steve could still help Felicia craft a communique to friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I miss being at work and in the studio. I miss being with all the people I love at KPCC. I’m still good at traffic. We chose UCLA for the surgery and treatment and navigating to the westside can be tricky. The tumor can take away what I had for dinner, but not my memory of the traffic jams I've sat in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am sad. I feel the unfairness of all of this. But I also feel the love for my wife, which grows every day as she balances the technical work of our affairs with the emotional work of our daily life. Like making sure I eat three solid meals. And I mean really solid. Four, sometimes. She tells me I'm loved about a hundred times a day -- I remember a few of them. Larry [Mantle, host of \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air Talk\u003c/a>], my brother in all but blood, is a rock for both of us and has been by our side from diagnosis until now.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Many people facing down the gun barrel of something this awful retreat into family. But Felicia reached out from the beginning to friends online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kind of had to,\" she explains. \"We’ve kind of got a unique and peculiar situation. I mean, Steve’s a very popular radio host in a very large market. He’s also incredibly involved in the theater community here. He also used to be a cop. So, you have these seemingly disparate communities that he’s connected to. That’s thousands of people: his most intimate friends all the way down to the casual listener.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the peace and quiet of their home on the hill, when Steve is sleeping, Felicia can write about all the medical details it would be exhausting to repeat to people in one individual conversation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia is also using the blog to process what's happening in her world, \"to take this jumbled puzzle piece of post-it notes and ideas and thoughts and put them together into something that is like 'Oh! Okay.' Usually, I don’t know when I’m going to conclude until I start writing, and by the end of it, I’m like, 'Oh, that’s my “aha” moment. Okay. Alright.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for a smaller, closer audience, Felicia shares bite-sized missives from her daily journey: proof the bees in the backyard are making \"So. Much. Honey.\"; the desperate wish MRI machines played Brian Eno instead of frightening clicks and buzzing; rage against the insurance company; pride in yet another crazy beautiful meal made for Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10916471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18924_12915065_10209620722699730_2121111238_o-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Felicia's not your regular home cook.

KPCC published a lovely tribute \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/news/2016/04/24/58999/steve-julian-longtime-voice-of-kpcc-s-morning-edit/\">here\u003c/a>. His wife, Felicia Friesema, wrote on the blog she's been maintaining during his last months, \"He left this world surrounded by love, in the comfort of the home we made together, in his own bed.\" Our hearts go out to Felicia in this time of grief. We trust this story provided some measure of comfort for her when it first went up on April 1, 2016. We hope that others who encounter this story now, after Steve's death, share our profound love and compassion for those who suffer from devastating diseases, as well as those who care for them, all the way through to the end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\"My experience on social media is that it has always been a connecting fiber. I think that, like anything, you get out of it what you put into it.\" -- Felicia Friesema\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia had seen the signs of brain cancer before. Her husband Steve Julian wasn't just forgetting his keys on the kitchen counter or having another of the myriad brain farts we often associate with middle age. He'd stop in the middle of a sentence, like he'd just hit a brick wall, and that was that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It wasn’t that kind of gradual onset that Alzheimer’s is. It didn’t sound or feel like dementia. This was so sudden -- and it was very eerily similar to what happened to my aunt, my tia Gloria,\" Felicia says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, it was her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She's head of marketing for \u003ca href=\"http://foothilltransit.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Foothill Transit\u003c/a>. Steve Julian is one of a handful of trusted voices helping Angelenos navigate the freeways every day, as morning anchor for KPCC-FM.

The position and location of his tumor is such that you would have to completely destroy a lot of healthy brain tissue in order to remove it. You would be creating a situation of paralysis, major cognitive dysfunction, irreversible brain damage, and ultimately for possibly very little reward.

They decided not to try to stretch his last months with chemo and radiation therapy. Steve has less time than he might have, but he can eat what he wants, sleep with their dogs, and squeeze the last juice out of the days that remain with Felicia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's taking time off from work, thanks to a compassionate boss. In the 20 or more hours a day that Steve now sleeps, Felicia takes care of everything else: the meals, the housekeeping, the medicine, insurance and the emotional management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, friends and family are helping. Larry Mantle, Steve's dearest pal, comes over for company and a wee dram of whiskey. Friends have delivered dozens of lasagnas to the doorstep and whipped out their credit cards to cover what insurance doesn't. But at the end of the day, Felicia is alone. And every morning, there's a little bit less of Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout alignright\">\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http://u.s.kqed.net/2015/09/14/LITDApodcastlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/love-in-the-digital-age/id1037051180?mt=2\">Subscribe in iTunes\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Don't miss an episode of 'Love in the Digital Age'\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003ch3>Reaching Out Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It was a few months in when I noticed Felicia's journal on \u003ca href=\"http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/stevejulian/journal/view/id/56f6a61ba689b47372c967f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Caring Bridge\u003c/a>.

We had to fly down to Los Angeles and meet this woman who wrote so deeply, thoughtfully, and with such compassion, about a journey no one chooses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I know that this is treacherous ground we walk on and that time is of the essence. We wake up to the juxtaposition of joy in another day together and terror at what may come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no detailed prognosis yet. But we do know that there is no outcome we like. And I have never been so scared. But I have also never been so completely full of love for him.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>That was Dec. 2, 2015. At that point, Steve could still help Felicia craft a communique to friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I miss being at work and in the studio. I miss being with all the people I love at KPCC. I’m still good at traffic. We chose UCLA for the surgery and treatment and navigating to the westside can be tricky. The tumor can take away what I had for dinner, but not my memory of the traffic jams I've sat in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am sad. I feel the unfairness of all of this. But I also feel the love for my wife, which grows every day as she balances the technical work of our affairs with the emotional work of our daily life. Like making sure I eat three solid meals. And I mean really solid. Four, sometimes. She tells me I'm loved about a hundred times a day -- I remember a few of them. Larry [Mantle, host of \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Air Talk\u003c/a>], my brother in all but blood, is a rock for both of us and has been by our side from diagnosis until now.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Many people facing down the gun barrel of something this awful retreat into family. But Felicia reached out from the beginning to friends online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We kind of had to,\" she explains. \"We’ve kind of got a unique and peculiar situation. I mean, Steve’s a very popular radio host in a very large market. He’s also incredibly involved in the theater community here. He also used to be a cop. So, you have these seemingly disparate communities that he’s connected to. That’s thousands of people: his most intimate friends all the way down to the casual listener.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the peace and quiet of their home on the hill, when Steve is sleeping, Felicia can write about all the medical details it would be exhausting to repeat to people in one individual conversation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felicia is also using the blog to process what's happening in her world, \"to take this jumbled puzzle piece of post-it notes and ideas and thoughts and put them together into something that is like 'Oh! Okay.' Usually, I don’t know when I’m going to conclude until I start writing, and by the end of it, I’m like, 'Oh, that’s my “aha” moment. Okay. Alright.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Facebook, for a smaller, closer audience, Felicia shares bite-sized missives from her daily journey: proof the bees in the backyard are making \"So. Much. Honey.\"; the desperate wish MRI machines played Brian Eno instead of frightening clicks and buzzing; rage against the insurance company; pride in yet another crazy beautiful meal made for Steve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10916471\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10916471\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/RS18924_12915065_10209620722699730_2121111238_o-qut-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Felicia's not your regular home cook.

But, on the other hand, it continues to be extremely difficult for local artists and organizations to thrive in this climate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the \u003ca href=\"https://mail.kqed.org/owa/redir.aspx?C=49a70a90b48a422dbd8b9df49b70afa4&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sfartscommission.org%2f\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Arts Commission\u003c/a> heard from nearly 600 artists last summer that either live or recently resided in San Francisco, Veltman said.
