UPDATE NOV 22: Here's another interview with Quan, from Friday's This Week in Northern California:

LAST WEEK

It 's extremely early in the game, but to date, Jean Quan's governing style looks like it will be different than that of her predecessor, Ron Dellums', in one obvious way: She is making a lot of media appearances. (Quan will appear on This Week in Northern California tonight at 7:30 p.m. on KQED TV.)

Today, The California Report aired a profile of Quan, featuring the Oakland Mayor-Elect talking with KQED's Rachel Dornhelm about Quan's history as an activist, politician, and citizen of Oakland.
