(This one's for you, Lauren.)

Immigration

This Tuesday, 'Hear Me Out' will discuss---through its audio documentaries---issues around immigration, specifically Latino immigration in the United States. This episode will also feature a variety of pieces from a project by university students at Duke University, courtesy of the Center for Documentary Studies and Student Action With Farmworkers in Durham, North Carolina.
These pieces are part of a beginning stage of a larger multi-media documentary project called Nuestros Historias, Nuestros Suenos; Our Stories, Our Dreams; a 2-year long project to document the experiences of Latino immigrants and residents in the North Carolina school system. Look for more on the project at the Center for Documentary Studies' website.


We'll hear first person accounts of immigration, migration, naturalization and the experience getting outside one's own personal expectations.

Tune in at 7pm this Tuesday. I hope you'll be learning to listen and listening to learn.

Live: Jarrod Sport

Last night, we were honored to have Jarrod Sport on the show to talk about his piece, Bayview: Urban Renewal or Utter Removal?, and his work in audio. Jarrod is a student at UCSC and an audio producer, now working part time at KQED in San Francisco. His piece regarded the issues of the urban redevelopment and gentrification plans for the Bayview Area of San Francisco.

His piece framed the major theme for tonight: redevelopment and urban change in the Bay Area. We played pieces focusing on both San Francisco and Oakland, looking and redevelopment on both sides of the bay.


Jarrod Sport gave us a wonderful interview and I thank him deeply for being on my show. If you're in interested in hearing his documentary again, you can search is name on prx.org and find out more.

Tune in next week....the summer's just begun! Thank you for listening!

Live: Bruce Bratton

Thanks for listening to this week's show! This past Tuesday we had a wonderful show featuring pieces made by students from the Social Documentation classes of the past years, regarding social and 'political' issues on campus. To compliment our pieces, we had a live interview with KZSC public affairs host Bruce Bratton, of University Grapevine, who discussed the challenges and environments around the spread of information and issues in the UCSC campus and the community .

I was also happy to play my latest documentary piece about the issues of Lighthouse Field and the upcoming state and city decisions on dog-leashing in November. I'll be posting a final version of the documentary soon, but for more information on the issue, please visit Friends of Lighthouse Field.

Tune in next week: student documentarian and teacher discuss about behind-the-scenes.

Transportation Tuesday

Tuesdays are the new Fridays.

This new Friday (i.e. Tuesday), we'll explore muses on transportation.... and not always in the most traditional sense. Walking, biking, busing, flying... traditional but complicated.

As we all know, there's more than just getting from here to there.
