Learnin' & Teachin': The Future of Education
Originally broadcast March 7, 2007
In decaying and resource-starved public schools, teachers and staffers with incredible vision and energy are trying to make education work. But what do we want from education now? Should it be organized around children spending mandatory time in classrooms or should we take a hint from the burgeoning homeschooling movement and look toward other models? LetÕs challenge our assumptions in this open-ended discussion. With Lisa Schiff (Parents for Public Schools), Will Grant (BLAST), Karen Allen (home schooling advocate), Ken Tray (Lowell High School teacher and Teacher's Union shop steward).


The Green City
Originally recorded February 28, 2007
Integrating urban life with local nature, biodiversity, and resources is the challenge of our time. New and veteran activists share visions, strategies, and how they are laying the foundation for a truly Green City. With Peter Berg (Green City Project/Planet Drum Foundation), Peter Brastow (Nature in the City), Bonnie Sherk (A Living Library), and Brian Holland (Bay Localize).



San Francisco Land Grabs
Originally recorded February 14, 2007
San Francisco's entire history is based on land grabs, within its own borders and far beyond. Sketching this history to the present, we will also look at counter-efforts to grab land and to create open and cooperative spaces in an ever more commercially tyrannized society. With Chris Carlsson, Erick Lyle (squatter theorist and practitioner), James Tracy (Community Land Trusts).



The Health Epidemic: Therapy Society & Eroding Public Health
Originally recorded January 17, 2007
In the relatively wealthy Bay Area, state-of-the-art hi-tech medicine is inacessible to a growing proportion of the population. What should be the response of medical professionals, alternative practitioners and community organizers? What role, if any, do we want the state and business to have in health care provision? With Adrienne Pine (California Nurses Association), Bill Mosca (California Oriental Medical Association), Jason Blantz (public health worker).



Can San Francisco Feed Itself?
Originally recorded January, 2007
Can urban food production be compatible with urban native habitat conservation and restoration? What are the limits and advantages of systematic effort to grow food within the city? What should our relationship be to local gardening, regional Community-Supported Agriculture, and Slow Food? With Chris Carlsson, Raquel Rivera-Pinderhughes (SFSU), Lane Cunningham (foraging expert), Margit Roos-Collins (author), Antonio Alcala (Alemany Urban Farm), Brahm Ahmadi (People's Grocery).

Reclaiming Bay Area Military Bases
Originally recorded April 26, 2006
On cleaning up after the military, restoring the former military bases around the San Francisco Bay. With Chris Carlsson, Peter Brastow of Nature in the City, Ruth Gravanis, coordinator of the Treasure Island wetlands project, Arthur Feinstein, chair of the SF Bay Joint Venture, Doug Biggs, community resources director of the Alameda Point Collaborative, and Kat Steele, founder of the Urban Permaculture Guild.

Black Exodus/Black Eviction
Originally recorded April 12, 2006

The infamous redevelopment process of the 1960s did much to diminish a vibrant African-American community in the old Fillmore. The black population of San Francisco has been falling steadily since 1970. Is today's Bayview-Hunters' Point neighborhood facing another round of racist relocation? Community activists and historians will discuss the past to inform the present and change the future! With host Chris Carlsson, Kevin Epps (featuring excerpts from Straight Outta Hunters Point), Alicia Schwartz (People Organized to Win Employment Rights--POWER), and Espanola Jackson subbing for Willie Ratcliff (publisher, San Francisco Bayview newspaper)


What's Natural About Natural Disasters?
Originally recorded March 29, 2006.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, epidemic flu, chronic disease, etc. What are the elements of a community response based on mutual aid, cooperation, and a renewed commitment to a public health infrastructure? With Shaping SF host Chris Carlsson, Tom Athanasiou of Eco-Equity, Sherlina Nager of Literacy for Environmental Justice, Peter Davidson, plus audience Q&A.

Infrastructure Wars: Sustainable Movements
Originally recorded March 8, 2006

A historical look at how San Franciscans have fought for a human-centered city. From saving Telegraph Hill stopping freeways, and resisting redevelopment, the corporate agenda has been thwarted again and again. Today new movements are again contesting the direction of the city. We'll have a look at the historic Burnham Plan and some other ideas for reshaping the city. With Chris Carlsson, Kyle Pedersen, and Calvin Welch.


America in the Philippines
February 8, 2006
From the barely remembered American-Philippine War of 1899-1904 that killed a half million Filipinos, to the Central Valley-driven immigration of Filipino men in the 1910s and 1920s, and from the rise to the ultimate demise of Manilatown, San Francisco has been a vital crossroads for Filipinos, and Filipinos in turn have left important marks in the city. Join the authors of The Forbidden Book and other Filipino-American scholars and activists. Speakers: Chris Carlsson, Abraham Ignacio, Oscar Peneranda, MC Canlas, Terecita Bautista
