Over the course of five episodes, Pelosi reflects candidly on her career, the political obstacles she overcame, her adversarial relationship with President Trump, and the consequences that large-scale political battles have had on Americans, including her own family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The series is hosted by Scott Shafer, KQED’s senior politics correspondent and co-host of the award-winning podcast \u003cem>Political Breakdown\u003c/em>. A one-time press secretary under San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos and reporter who has covered local, state and national politics for KQED since 1998, Shafer brings the unique background of working in politics and government during Pelosi’s first run for Congress before becoming a journalist covering her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shafer sat down with Pelosi for hours of recorded conversations over the past four months. The series also features interviews with Pelosi’s family, political critics, and notable peers like Sen. Adam Schiff, Rep. Ilhan Omar, former Congressman and CIA director Leon Panetta, and Rahm Emanuel, who worked with Pelosi to lead Democrats in retaking the House majority in 2006 before becoming President Barack Obama’s chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The series provides an enthralling narrative of Pelosi’s path to power starting as a young mother and grassroots organizer in San Francisco, to narrowly seizing a San Francisco House seat in a special election, through her historic stints as Speaker and various high-profile battles, wins and losses in Washington, D.C. Among her many political accomplishments, she secured billions in funding for HIV/AIDS research and pushed “The Affordable Care Act” over the finish line in Congress, overcoming at times resistance from the highest levels of her own party. And of course there were the iconic moments arising from her relentless challenges to President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What emerges is a compelling and expansive portrait of a singular figure in modern American politics. The raw-access interviews with Pelosi will find a permanent home at the Oral History Center at UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library, where they will be available in their entirety for scholars and researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nancy Pelosi was often discounted and underestimated by political allies and adversaries, making her path to power all the more extraordinary and often controversial,” says Shafer. “For this project, she has provided new and candid insights about the use of political power, her role in the American political landscape of the last four decades, where the country has been, and where she thinks it may be headed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Speaker \u003c/em>is available wherever you get your podcasts starting September 16 with new episodes dropping each week through October 14.\u003cbr />\n\u003cstrong>\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-speaker/id6806402229\">LISTEN TO THE TRAILER \u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About Host Scott Shafer\u003c/strong>\u003cbr />\nScott Shafer is a veteran political journalist now serving as senior politics correspondent with the KQED Politics and Government desk.

The series also features interviews with Pelosi’s family, political critics, and notable peers like Sen. Adam Schiff, Rep.

Among her many political accomplishments, she secured billions in funding for HIV/AIDS research and pushed “The Affordable Care Act” over the finish line in Congress, overcoming at times resistance from the highest levels of her own party.

Traveling 50 to 60 miles a day through desert heat, storms, remote borderlands and dangerous roads, Pagitt and a small group of cyclists encounter migrants struggling to survive, humanitarian aid workers, border residents, and individuals with sharply opposing views on immigration and national identity.

The program is a unique way to engage students in the study of America’s founding documents on its 250th birthday, and in the understanding of using constitutional principles to create positive change in their own communities. Simultaneously, students will have hands-on learning experiences in using the media techniques and skills required for podcasting and audio production.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With separate curriculum units for both middle and high school American History, Civics, and Government classes, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Podcasting Democracy\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> combines civic inquiry, media literacy, and audio storytelling in a flexible format designed for classroom practice. Members of KQED’s education team, Rachel Roberson and Jessica Fagen, developed the curriculum in partnership with experienced social studies educators. Twenty teachers across the U.S. piloted the curriculum in the fall of the 2025-26 school year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These quotes from pilot teachers exemplify the strong positive feedback the pilot program produced:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There were kids who really haven’t engaged a lot in school who were super into it and did very thoughtful projects.

After studying these foundational documents, students use what they’ve learned to create their own commentary podcasts, advocating for an issue they care about, and applying constitutional principles as the foundation of their argument. It’s a student-centric, content-focused way to boost students’ voices and engage them in civic discourse – a core tenet of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education\">KQED Education’s\u003c/a> work.
