Kenny Goldberg KPBS Health Reporter
What is your favorite, most memorable piece
that you did and why?
I did a story last year with
videographer Christopher Maue about a program that provides disabled adults to
mentor kids who live in wheelchairs. We followed a young girl as she met her
mentor and spent the day with her at Sea World. The girl and her mentor were
both left partially paralyzed from accidents, and the things that they had to
say about their conditions and how they forge ahead in life were really
touching. www.kpbs.org/news/2012/sep/12/kids-wheelchairs-get-roll-models/
If you could interview anyone, who would it be
and why?
I wish I could have interviewed the
philosopher Alan Watts. He had such wonderful insight and unique ideas about
life and how we fit in the universe. I've found his ideas to be very
liberating.
What award have you won that means the most to
you?
I won my third Golden Mic award for a
TV piece that I whipped together in one afternoon. The story had a special
warmth about it, and I was proud that the judges agreed. www.kpbs.org/news/2011/jun/21/wheelchair-dancing-roll/
What’s something most people don’t know about
you?
I spent years as a jazz musician and a
composer before I became a journalist. I toured all over the world.
What’s your favorite spot in San Diego?
I love La Jolla. There's nothing like
standing on the rocks and watching the waves crash in, and thinking about what
a special place we live in.
Who was your favorite/most interesting person
to interview?
I interviewed a university professor
in Australia a few years ago when I was attending the International Aids
Conference. I asked him some questions about HIV and his government's approach
to battling the epidemic. He was a treasure trove of information, with such
incredible observations and penetrating comments. In five minutes, I had enough
material to write half a dozen stories. www.kpbs.org/news/2007/jul/25/global-aids-conference-shares-cutting-edge/

Dear Friends,
Our fiscal year will be coming to an
end on June 30th and we anticipate a strong finish. Thank you
all for your incredible support this year! Your support has allowed us to take
on some new and exciting initiatives here at KPBS. Last month, two new programs
debuted on KPBS TV: A Growing Passion and Savor San Diego. In A Growing Passion,
local garden expert Nan Sterman explores backyard food production, major
horticultural growers, low-water landscapes, and sustainable practices around
the home and in the garden. In Savor San
Diego, noted San Diego chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Su-Mei Yu
explores and cooks her way around San Diego sharing the captivating tales of
our culinary bounty.
Both programs are part of our Explore San Diego line up. Every Thursday
night, we feature two hours of local programs that reflect San Diego’s unique
sense of place. Explore San Diego
kicks off at 8:00 p.m. with Ken Kramer’s About San Diego, A Growing Passion at 8:30 p.m., San Diego’s Historic Places at 9:00
p.m. and Savor San Diego at 9:30 p.m.
We are also excited to share with you
that PBS and KPBS content can now be accessed via Roku. The digital platform
now carries many PBS and PBS KIDS programs. KPBS TV’s local programs, including
KPBS
Evening Edition, are also available from Roku.
Speaking of watching TV, we have
pulled together many of our local programs as well as PBS programming, that you
can view anytime on our new video player site: video.kpbs.org. In addition to full episodes, you can stream clips, interviews
and previews from your favorite PBS shows. We are
very excited about these new offerings and hope you will enjoy watching all of
our programs whenever and however it suits you!
Best Regards,

Tom Karlo General Manager and Producers Club Member
