    AI Data Center Opponents Fight Back at Local Level

    The fight over data centers is intensifying in California and nationwide as organizers develop new strategies to take on tech companies and developers. While an Imperial Valley site is moving forward despite community backlash, Monterey Park will vote this June on whether to ban all data center development in the city — one of multiple data center referendums on ballots across the U.S. this year. We’ll talk with a data center developer who says these sites create jobs and infrastructure necessary for the A.I. boom and a state lawmaker who wants more oversight. Guests: Molly Taft, senior climate reporter, WIRED Kori Suzuki, South Bay & Imperial Valley Reporter, KPBS Public Media Sen. Steve Padilla, state senator representing the counties of San Diego, Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino Sebastian Rucci, chief executive officer, Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing, LLC Learn more about your ad choices.

    What Can Y2K Tweens from Santa Rosa Teach Us About Childhood Creativity?

    In the year 2000, four pre-teen girls in Santa Rosa — three 11-year-olds, and one 9-year-old little sister — wrote and recorded an album inspired by the Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child and Fiona Apple, and even filmed music videos for the album. Then, their band X-Cetra disbanded as the elder members entered junior high and found the entire project — to use the slang of today’s kids — cringe. Decades later, online experimental music nerds discovered the album, with its haunting child vocals and startling low-fi beats, and turned it into a cult hit, garnering X-Cetra a record contract and a 25th anniversary reissue. A new film “Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story,” which won the South by Southwest documentary jury award last month, documents the reunion of X-Cetra, many of whose members hadn’t made art since. We’ll talk with the band about what it means to revisit childhood creativity in adulthood, and we’ll hear from you: Were you more creative as a tween than you are now? Have you returned to the art you made? Guests: Ayden Mayeri, member, X-Cetra; director, "Summer 2000: The X-Cetra Story" Jessica Hall, member, X-Cetra Robin O’Brien, musician; producer of X-Cetra’s 2000 album, “Stardust"; mom of X-Cetra members Janet and Mary Brittany Spanos, music journalist who wrote the Rolling Stone profile, “Four Best Friends Made an Album as Kids. 25 Years Later, It’s a Cult Classic” Learn more about your ad choices.

    ICE Shifts Strategy, Detaining Thousands of Kids

    Last winter, ICE ramped up immigration enforcement in several American cities. It was a strategy that shifted focus from the US Mexico border to the streets of American cities. That led to a spike in the detention of families and children, most notably the arrest of  5-year-old Liam Ramos in Minneapolis. According to the Marshall  Project, more than 6,000 children have been held so far during Trump’s second term, and the daily detention rate in January was ten times higher than the Biden Administration’s final days. What are the conditions within these detention centers? And what are the lasting effects on the young detainees?

    How Apple Has Changed the Bay Area and the World

    Today, Apple is a $3.5 trillion company with over 150,000 employees worldwide. Fifty years ago, it was two Steves – Jobs and Wozniak – working out of a Los Gatos garage. (All great Silicon Valley origin stories seem to include a garage.) Since its inception, Apple has not only introduced culture shifting technology like the Macintosh computer and iPhone, it has also influenced how we live here in the Bay Area, on the edge of the continent and a future being cast by technologists, innovators, and entrepreneurs. We talk about the influence of Apple. Guests: Margaret O'Mara, professor of American History, University of Washington; author, "The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America" Hansen Hsu, curator, Software History Center at the Computer History Museum; former Apple employee; historian and sociologist Learn more about your ad choices.

    How the Iran War Has Isolated the US From Its Allies

    President Trump backed down from his social media threat that “a whole civilization will die” after Pakistan helped broker a ceasefire deal with Iran. But the United States is likely to remain isolated from its allies as many look for economic and diplomatic solutions to the conflict that do not involve America. We talk about the latest developments in the war and the consequences of America’s growing isolation from its allies.

    Trump Administration Wants to Replace Cuba’s Government, But What Would Come Next?

    High level talks between Cuba and the U.S. are ongoing as the Trump administration’s four-month oil blockade of the island nation continues. Trump has said he wants a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, but it’s unclear what the U.S. stands to gain or what kind of government could come to power if the current administration leaves. While the U.S. has had an embargo against Cuba since 1960, the recent blockade has raised the stakes and forced many of the country’s nearly 10 million people to go without power, water, food, health care and other necessities. We talk about how Cuba is dealing with the worst humanitarian crisis it has faced in decades and what the Trump Administration ultimately wants. Guests: Michael J. Bustamante, associate professor of history, University of Miami; director, Cuban Studies Program Jen Triplett, assistant professor of sociology, University of Colorado, Boulder; researcher with a focus on Latin America Learn more about your ad choices.

    Inside California’s Crowded Governor’s Race

    California’s jam-packed governor’s primary may lead to a historic political shakeup this fall. Polls show the two leading Republicans, Riverside county sheriff Chad Bianco and political commentator Steve Hilton, could consolidate enough support to lock Democrats out of the November general election. That leaves the crowded field of Democrats — which includes Rep. Eric Swalwell, former congresswoman Katie Porter and billionaire businessman Tom Steyer — scrambling to secure one of the top spots. We’ll break down the major players in this packed race and hear what issues matter most to Californians as they prepare to vote.

    Why Aren’t Doctors Better At Diagnosing Illnesses?

    A 2015 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine found that “most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences.” In her new book “The Elusive Body: Patients Doctors, and the Diagnosis Crisis,” journalist Alexandra Sifferlin looks into what has been done in the decade since that report to improve the accuracy of diagnoses. We talk to Sifferlin and a UCSF doctor profiled in the book about why, despite enormous strides in medicine, the medical system often fails patients in this fundamental task and what it means to live without an accurate diagnosis. Guests: Alexandra Sifferlin, health and science editor, The New York Times; author, "The Elusive Body: Patients, Doctors, and the Diagnosis Crisis" Gurpreet Dhaliwal, professor of medicine, UCSF Learn more about your ad choices.
