Two KALW Radio Shows Today At 10am & 7pm: Sea Level Rise & Endangered Species + Student Loan Debt

I’ll be hosting two radio shows on KALW 91.7 FM today. First, at 10am I’ll be guest-hosting Your Call’s One Planet series, focusing for the first half hour on the threat that sea level rise poses to California’s coastal cities and town.

Joining me will be Los Angeles Times environment reporter Rosanna Xia, who penned a fascinating piece recently on how climate-induced changes in ocean levels has already started affecting California communities.

For the second half hour, we’ll discuss the Trump Administration’s proposed rollbacks to the federal Endangered Species Act, a law that protects over 1,600 plant and animal species in this country. We’ll be joined by Rebecca Riley, Legal Director for the Nature Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Tune in at 10am on 91.7 in the San Francisco Bay Area or stream it live. We’d love to hear your questions or comments. You can call in at 866-798-TALK, or e-mail yourcall@kalw.org, or tweet us @yourcallradio. You can also post your comments and questions on our website @yourcallradio.org.

Then at 7pm tonight, I’ll be hosting City Visions, discussing the crush of student loan debt and what we can do about it. I’ll be joined by:

  • Jacob Dumez, Manager of Policy and Partners in San Francisco’s Office of Financial Empowerment which co-authored an April 2019 study on Bay Area student loan debt.
  • Juliana Fredman, a consumer protection attorney with Bay Area Legal Aid who works directly with low-income clients through the Legal Aid’s clinic.
  • Suzanne Martindale, Senior Policy Counsel & Western States Legislative Manager for Consumer Reports.

Tune in at 7pm or stream live. We’d love to get your questions and comments. You can call us at 866-798-TALK or can e-mail or text us at cityvisions@kalw.org. You can also reach us by tweeting us at @cityvisionskalw.
