Forum (KQED)

Radio program produced by KQED-FM

Forum is a two-hour live call-in radio program produced by KQED-FM, presenting discussions of local, state, national and international issues, and in-depth interviews. The program began in 1990 as a politics-oriented talk show, created and hosted by Kevin Pursglove.[1] From 1993 to 2021, it was hosted by scholar, author, professor, and former KGO Radio host Michael Krasny, who broadened the program's scope to a cross-section of current events.[2][3] After hosting the show for nearly 30 years, Krasny announced his retirement effective February 2021.[4] A number of guests hosted the show in the months following, before Alexis Madrigal was selected as the new co-host along with Mina Kim, who had already held that post since July 2020. [5][6]

Quick Facts Genre, Running time ...

The format of Forum varies from show to show, but generally involves an in-person interview followed by public Q&A via phone or email with one or more subjects, often nationally prominent authors and scholars.[7] The program airs for two hours on weekday mornings, with an hour repeated in the evening.
