Flooding, an economic slump, legal battles and raw sewage; check out my story about Alameda’s island origins.
.@MatthewMBooker, I’d like to interview you for a story for KQED’s Bay Curious podcast. Can you get in touch at pbartolone[at]kqed.org?
What happens when a wounded Iraq war veteran uses a Taoist philosophy called "wuwei" to help deal with anger? Good story, and useful tips, too. greatergood.berkeley.edu/pod…… #happinesspod
When we have negative feelings, sometimes the first instinct is to fight or control them. But what if *accepting* is the way to a better mental space? Check out this podcast episode I produced about a Taoist practice called “wuwei” for #happinesspod. greatergood.berkeley.edu/pod…
Just how hard would it be to convert all that empty office space in San Francisco to housing? Here's my deep dive into that question for @kqedbaycurious @KQED: kqed.org/news/11955554/could…
When Wade Goodwyn's voice came on the radio, my ears perked up. He would actually tell a story, not just report the news. His voice was authentic and expressive. He brought us to the places he reported from. npr.org/2023/06/08/116783745…
Wow, this does sound like a groundbreaking program. I wonder if it will promote bilingualism as well. Looks like it’s not available in every zip code though, my toddler’s not eligible. Here’s how to sign up: library.ca.gov/services/to-p…
This is actually incredible: Every California child under age 5 can register to receive a free book in the mail every month. How I wish this program was available to adults!!!! gov.ca.gov/2023/06/06/govern…
You asked, we answered. Are clean cars improving California's air quality? My latest piece, for @kqedbaycurious @KQED. kqed.org/news/11951866/are-z…
Putting aside your Lord of the Rings references and Santa folklore, what does your imagination tell you about the height of ELVES? Like, are they smaller than gnomes, and are we talking inches or feet.
The beloved Children's @FairylandCA seems to exist "outside of the bounds of time." But will it change as culture changes around it? Well, maybe a little. My latest, for @kqedbaycurious. kqed.org/news/11948422/the-f…
.@Drpapas86 Hi Dr. Guzman, I am a producer with The Science of Happiness podcast. We would love to have you on our show. Could you message me with your direct phone number? We'd love to have your insights!
Well said.
Here’s part of my take on The Coldest Case in Laramie.

.@scottalukas, I would love to talk to you about the history of Children's Fairyland in Oakland for a story I'm doing for KQED in San Francisco. Are you available for 20-30 minutes this week?
Power’s still out at my place in #ElCerrito /East Bay. I went to 6 different cafes, the open ones either didn’t have wifi or power outlets. Thanks to public libraries, I’m working, charging and staying warm.
Seafarers & boat people: If a boat were a person, what would be a rite of passage to graduate it from youth? #boatlife #lifeafloat #boatsthattweet
Writing a kids book. Tell me twitterverse, what are your favorite things to smell? Besides food. Curious if certain scents bring back childhood memories.
Seriously? I drove all the way to Marin County to look at court records and the offices are closed because of a storm-related power outage. East-coasters would laugh at us… 1.65 inches of rain and 23 MPH winds and we fall apart!
