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.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

They’ve been doing this for a while.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were open for 10 years until the French dip was actually created, and it was an accident,” says Andrew Binder. He’s a fourth generation managing partner who literally grew up in the restaurant. The carvers were his babysitters. In 1927, his great-grandfather bought the place from Hypolite Philippe Mathieu, who opened it in 1908.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philippe was carving a sandwich and the French roll fell into the pan drippings of some meats that were being roasted,” continues Binder. “The customer was in a hurry. We used to think it was a policeman, but we were actually told by a relative of Philippe that it was a fireman. That customer came back the next day with friends requesting the sandwich being dipped, so that really is the birth of the French dip.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11693776\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/RS32736_gloria-1-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Gloria Camacho has been making French dip sandwiches at Philippe's for 25 years.

He’s a fourth generation managing partner who literally grew up in the restaurant. The carvers were his babysitters. In 1927, his great-grandfather bought the place from Hypolite Philippe Mathieu, who opened it in 1908.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philippe was carving a sandwich and the French roll fell into the pan drippings of some meats that were being roasted,” continues Binder. “The customer was in a hurry. We used to think it was a policeman, but we were actually told by a relative of Philippe that it was a fireman. That customer came back the next day with friends requesting the sandwich being dipped, so that really is the birth of the French dip.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11693776\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/RS32736_gloria-1-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Gloria Camacho has been making French dip sandwiches at Philippe's for 25 years.

Naturally, she wrote about this dilemma for her \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/19/van-life-my-80-square-foot-solution-bay-area-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newspaper\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The median price of a Bay Area home keeps getting further and further out of reach for many. At $920,000, it’s already more than double what it was six years ago. And with average rents for a one bedroom in San Jose clocking in at $2,266 a month, a growing number of people seem to be turning to alternative housing on wheels, from RVs and tiny houses on flatbed trailers, to school buses, trucks, vans and even converted ambulances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In this crazy real estate market, an increasing number of people are taking to living in their vehicles, even if they’re working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was that Kaplan decided to raid her 401K to build a studio apartment on wheels and make herself the story, in a good way. She files stories on her process. She shares on Instagram with the account \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsavanlife/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@itsavanlife\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after months of chronicling her process from dream to reality, Kaplan \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/09/17/van-life-the-big-reveal-on-my-80-square-foot-solution-to-the-bay-area-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported herself\u003c/a> on the happy day her fully customized, special-order Ford Transit 350 arrived outside her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a 22-foot-long cargo van that’s been converted into a mobile home, effectively, and where I’ll be living when I retire,” she says with genuine enthusiasm.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Not as far-fetched as you might think\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kaplan was a child when she heard about Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters driving cross-country in a psychedelic painted old school bus back in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh2kK5IfS-8]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s when the idea was planted in Kaplan’s brain that living a peripatetic life on the road might be more fun than trying to squeak by, aging in some horrendously expensive conventional housing situation. That’s not an irrational fear, given the trend lines for rentals in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As I approached retirement, I started worrying about where I was going to live as a single woman on what’s going to be an extremely limited income of under $3,000 a month — which sounds like a lot — but not around here, right?” says Kaplan, who doesn’t want to move out of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How have her friends reacted?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are excited for me,” Kaplan says, before adding, “Some people — without naming names — thought I was insane. Certainly, financially, I just did a desperate thing. But what was I going to do? I can’t work forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11693744 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/RS32923_Photo-Sep-17-5-25-17-PM-2-qut-800x488.jpg\" alt=\"The view, length-wise down Tracey Kaplan's customized van.

Naturally, she wrote about this dilemma for her \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/08/19/van-life-my-80-square-foot-solution-bay-area-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">newspaper\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The median price of a Bay Area home keeps getting further and further out of reach for many. At $920,000, it’s already more than double what it was six years ago. And with average rents for a one bedroom in San Jose clocking in at $2,266 a month, a growing number of people seem to be turning to alternative housing on wheels, from RVs and tiny houses on flatbed trailers, to school buses, trucks, vans and even converted ambulances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In this crazy real estate market, an increasing number of people are taking to living in their vehicles, even if they’re working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it was that Kaplan decided to raid her 401K to build a studio apartment on wheels and make herself the story, in a good way. She files stories on her process. She shares on Instagram with the account \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsavanlife/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@itsavanlife\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after months of chronicling her process from dream to reality, Kaplan \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/09/17/van-life-the-big-reveal-on-my-80-square-foot-solution-to-the-bay-area-housing-crisis/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported herself\u003c/a> on the happy day her fully customized, special-order Ford Transit 350 arrived outside her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a 22-foot-long cargo van that’s been converted into a mobile home, effectively, and where I’ll be living when I retire,” she says with genuine enthusiasm.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Not as far-fetched as you might think\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Kaplan was a child when she heard about Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters driving cross-country in a psychedelic painted old school bus back in the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Uh2kK5IfS-8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Uh2kK5IfS-8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s when the idea was planted in Kaplan’s brain that living a peripatetic life on the road might be more fun than trying to squeak by, aging in some horrendously expensive conventional housing situation. That’s not an irrational fear, given the trend lines for rentals in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As I approached retirement, I started worrying about where I was going to live as a single woman on what’s going to be an extremely limited income of under $3,000 a month — which sounds like a lot — but not around here, right?” says Kaplan, who doesn’t want to move out of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How have her friends reacted?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are excited for me,” Kaplan says, before adding, “Some people — without naming names — thought I was insane. Certainly, financially, I just did a desperate thing. But what was I going to do? I can’t work forever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11693744 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/RS32923_Photo-Sep-17-5-25-17-PM-2-qut-800x488.jpg\" alt=\"The view, length-wise down Tracey Kaplan's customized van.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
