"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

Mayor Daniel Lurie touted it as an important resource in his efforts to keep the city safe and clean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center houses a central hub that synthesizes real-time data from Flock cameras, drones and other public safety cameras. As of its reopening, the center helped make at least 800 arrests, \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/post/how-sfpds-new-investigation-center-is-catching-criminals-faster-using-400-cameras-drones/18247811/\">according to ABC7\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation is a critic of the center and its origin story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EFF said that these centers, which other cities like \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjpd.org/about-us/organization/bureau-of-investigations/real-time-intelligence-center\">San José\u003c/a> also have, \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/san-francisco-gets-invasive-billionaire-bought-surveillance-hq\">are \u003c/a>“basically control rooms that pull together all feeds from a vast warrantless digital dragnet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFPD’s center was funded partly through Proposition E, with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978236/propositions-e-and-f-in-san-francisco-appear-headed-for-victory\">later additional backing \u003c/a>from crypto billionaire and Ripple CEO Chris Larsen. Larsen, through Ripple and his nonprofit San Francisco Police Community Foundation, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12042515/sf-crypto-billionaire-wants-to-donate-millions-for-police-drones-surveillance-efforts\">gifted $9.4 million\u003c/a> to the new headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Larsen’s support was another source of inspiration for Kubin’s deep dive into surveillance. He said that, while Larsen’s “crypto billionaire” title was not enough to upset him, his name had come up a lot in funding for increasing police technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kubin said that the introduction of each surveillance tool in isolation — Flock automated license plate reader cameras, drones, ShotSpotter technology and so on — might’ve made sense at the time for safety. But he worries that it will soon evolve into something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that all those different modalities are coming together into this Real-Time Investigation Center, the whole of that is now greater than the sum of its parts,” Kubin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He and my dad were like two peas in a pod, similar in talent and outlook. Van Dyke texted back to remind me that he didn’t meet my dad until 1967 or ’68.

So beautiful to behold,” he said. While he didn’t know the particulars of my dad’s radio or how he acquired it, Van Dyke recalled what the Opus 7 meant in a time before satellites and the internet accustomed us to tinny, compressed music on demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12041346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12041346\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"The insides of a 1957 radio feature dust covered speakers above a dust covered chassis of other radio parts.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view inside the unrepaired Telefunken Opus 7. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This was a big deal, shortwave,” he sighed, thinking back to happy hours spent listening to great European conductors like\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/arts/music/otto-klemperer-conductor.html\"> Otto Klemperer\u003c/a>.

In that brief moment back in 1999, when my dad’s radio surged to life, I responded most to the harmonic thrum of the string instruments.

He and my dad were like two peas in a pod, similar in talent and outlook. Van Dyke texted back to remind me that he didn’t meet my dad until 1967 or ’68. But remarkably, Van Dyke had bought that exact radio model in 1957 when he was a boy, while acting in a \u003cem>Heidi\u003c/em> film for RKO in Munich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Dyke rang me on the phone, his mind racing with memories. “You hit the heartstrings with that particular picture. So beautiful to behold,” he said. While he didn’t know the particulars of my dad’s radio or how he acquired it, Van Dyke recalled what the Opus 7 meant in a time before satellites and the internet accustomed us to tinny, compressed music on demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12041346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12041346\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"The insides of a 1957 radio feature dust covered speakers above a dust covered chassis of other radio parts.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view inside the unrepaired Telefunken Opus 7. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This was a big deal, shortwave,” he sighed, thinking back to happy hours spent listening to great European conductors like\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/arts/music/otto-klemperer-conductor.html\"> Otto Klemperer\u003c/a>.

In that brief moment back in 1999, when my dad’s radio surged to life, I responded most to the harmonic thrum of the string instruments. A quarter-century later, the memory of that sound rushed back, twinned with grief and nostalgia for my father and his music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet has afforded my father some posthumous appreciation, especially in the comments sections on YouTube clips of his soundtracks.

My own nostalgia comes attached to the music my father left as his legacy, along with the equipment that fostered his creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still have a number of microcassette tapes on which my dad recorded many notes to himself. A quarter-century later, it’s still too painful for me to listen to the sound of his voice, especially from the last years of his life.

The tapes sit in a box on a high shelf in my own home studio now, gathering their own dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I turn on that Telefunken Opus 7, with the dial set to the Bay Area’s classical station, KDFC, the panel glows with that warm, yellow light, the vacuum tubes engage, and an orchestra fills my room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My heart grows full as the music swells, and I can feel my dad wink at me from across an otherwise unbreachable expanse of space and time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
