She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

The deal would reopen the federal government for three weeks, giving congressional lawmakers time to negotiate a plan for border security. Pressure had been growing on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump, as delays and security concerns mounted at the nation’s airports over growing numbers of TSA workers and air traffic controllers calling in sick. On Thursday, competing bills to end the shutdown died on the Senate floor, while House Democrats were prepared to offer billions of dollars more to boost border security through the use of drones and hiring more personnel at ports of entry. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aimee Allison, Founder, She the People\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Senior Writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP Consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Criminal Justice Reforms\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, Jerry Brown signed legislation that would have ended cash bail for criminal defendants. The practice was widely viewed as being discriminatory, keeping low-income people behind bars awaiting trial. But the law will now be put on hold pending the outcome of a measure challenging it, which has qualified for the 2020 ballot. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan to shift control of the state’s youth prisons in an effort to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration for juvenile offenders. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED California Politics and Government Reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Macallair, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Update\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California recently released its final set of rules for cannabis businesses. One of those rules now allows marijuana deliveries to anyone 21 or older anywhere in the state, including cities and counties that have banned sales of the drug. And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">David Downs, California Cannabis Bureau Chief, Leafly.com \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The deal would reopen the federal government for three weeks, giving congressional lawmakers time to negotiate a plan for border security. Pressure had been growing on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump, as delays and security concerns mounted at the nation’s airports over growing numbers of TSA workers and air traffic controllers calling in sick. On Thursday, competing bills to end the shutdown died on the Senate floor, while House Democrats were prepared to offer billions of dollars more to boost border security through the use of drones and hiring more personnel at ports of entry. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Aimee Allison, Founder, She the People\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carla Marinucci, Senior Writer, Politico\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP Consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Criminal Justice Reforms\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last year, Jerry Brown signed legislation that would have ended cash bail for criminal defendants. The practice was widely viewed as being discriminatory, keeping low-income people behind bars awaiting trial. But the law will now be put on hold pending the outcome of a measure challenging it, which has qualified for the 2020 ballot. This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan to shift control of the state’s youth prisons in an effort to focus on rehabilitation instead of incarceration for juvenile offenders. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED California Politics and Government Reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel Macallair, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cannabis Update\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California recently released its final set of rules for cannabis businesses. One of those rules now allows marijuana deliveries to anyone 21 or older anywhere in the state, including cities and counties that have banned sales of the drug. And while there were $2.5 billion in legal sales of cannabis last year in California, that’s a decrease from 2017, when only medical marijuana sales were allowed. The black market continues to be a problem, along with other challenges for the industry, such as consistency among labs that are required to test the safety and purity of pot products. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For 60 years, biologists have documented population shifts and interactions between gray wolves and moose at Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior.

At some point, the loss of continuity degrades the integrity and value of the work itself. And there are things that don’t come around a second time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11720919\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 794px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11720919 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-24-at-5.33.31-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"794\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-24-at-5.33.31-PM.png 794w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-24-at-5.33.31-PM-160x107.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The USFWS Kodiak seaplane arrives on Isle Royale in Lake Superior carrying the fourth relocated wolf on October 14, 2018. \u003ccite>(Jim Peaco/National Park Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The timing is particularly bad because the park recently began a multiyear effort to replenish its wolf population, which had fallen to two.

We have been more than willing to do that. But if there are parts of that border security plan that don’t have sufficient bipartisan support, then that’s the way it goes. That’s how our government works.

We have been more than willing to do that. But if there are parts of that border security plan that don’t have sufficient bipartisan support, then that’s the way it goes. That’s how our government works. You don’t simply get to bring down the whole house if you don’t get your way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone realizes — whether they’ll discuss it publicly or not on both sides of the aisle — it was a terrible mistake for the president to shut the government down to begin with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Both sides remain firmly apart, with congressional Democrats led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refusing to authorize funds for a wall in exchange for reopening the government. The president is now considering declaring a national emergency to bypass Congress and get the barrier built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also this week, newly sworn-in California Gov. Gavin Newsom released a record budget totaling $209 billion.

Non-Hispanic whites still make up a larger proportion of Californians over 18 than do Latinos.

But state lawmakers tend to skew significantly older than the people they represent. Only 14 percent of state lawmakers are in their 30s, and none are in their 20s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not shocking if you believe that candidates and those who vote for them tend to look like one another: Despite comprising a huge share of the electorate, only 18 percent of likely California voters are under age 34, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another noticeably absent block of Californians from state office: People who make less than six figures.

This isn't a radio version of a magazine, but something all its own, reflecting the rich possibilities of audio storytelling and conversation. Theme music for the show was composed and performed by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-YArDs.",
