This year, it's \"Summer of the '80s,\" so it's my personal favorite, \u003cem>The Golden Girls\u003c/em>, in the morning, and the hose in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know what I had unleashed. I should have known, I really should have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This morning at the breakfast table, I noticed my 5-year-old was biting her fist instead of her waffle. \"What's the matter?\" I naively asked. \"Nothing,\" she said. \"I'm just that lady on the show.\" (\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV7AXRABSng\">Insert Golden Girls opening credits here to see Dorothy biting her fist\u003c/a>.)

Catwad is grouchy. Catwad is mean (think Grumpy Cat and you've got it). Catwad's grouchy meanness is consistently foiled by his naive, sunny and dim-witted friend Blurmp.

I know two jokes, and they are both grammar-related, so that tells you all you need to know about my sense of humor. Being silly with my kids or even allowing them to be silly themselves goes against my nature and is a real challenge for me. That's true for everyday life, and it's true for reading as well. Should my kids be barraging me with Nerf arrows, or should they be changing the oil in the pickup? Should they be yukking it up with \u003cem>Dog Man\u003c/em> or should they be getting frustrated with the sourpuss Mary Lennox in \u003cem>The Secret Garden\u003c/em>?

Probably from the French.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then comes the fashion. There’s “naive camp,” which is intended to be serious but failing, versus “deliberate camp,” intended to be, well, campy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are enormous feathered dresses—Sontag wrote that camp was “a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers”—by Armani and by Jeremy Scott, the latter surrounded by scores of attached butterflies. Scott, a specialist in camp, also is represented by a dress of dollar bills, and his McDonald’s-themed outfits for Moschino, where he serves as creative director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From John Galliano, there are dresses that seem made of newspaper clippings and packing tape. And because the Palace of Versailles is seen as “a sort of camp [Garden of] Eden,” there’s a section of Versailles-style gowns by designers like Franco Moschino and Vivienne Westwood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Camp is ‘Swan Lake,’” Sontag wrote, so we also have Bjork’s famous swan dress by designer Marjan Pejoski, the bird’s long neck curving over the shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representing what Sontag called “the convertibility of ‘man’ and ‘woman,’” designer Thom Browne contributes a man’s wedding outfit that combines a black tuxedo with a white filmy skirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And maybe there isn’t a Lady Gaga meat dress, but there’s a Jeremy Scott “prosciutto dress” (not real, this time), and his wacky TV dinner cape—with carrots, peas and corn on one side, mashed potatoes with butter on the other (they’re fake too, thankfully).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because camp “sees everything in quotation marks” (Sontag again), there is designer Virgil Abloh’s 2018 little black dress that says “Little Black Dress,” with boots that say “For Walking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s a gigantic birthday cake-like dress of cascading pink tulle by Viktor & Rolfe, which says “Less is More”—because camp is, above all, about irony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolton says he started thinking about camp two years ago when mounting his show on Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. He reread Sontag’s essay and was struck by how relevant it felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was also inspired to mark the 50th anniversary this year of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a landmark moment in the history of gay rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-111638\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"General view of the Press Event for The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition "Camp: Notes on Fashion" on February 22, 2019 in Milan, Italy. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">General view of the Press Event for The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition \"Camp: Notes on Fashion\" on February 22, 2019 in Milan, Italy. \u003ccite>(Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images for The Metropolitan Museum of Art)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bolton notes that some designers have always embraced camp—Moschino, Scott, Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui, for example. “But what you’re seeing now is other designers adopting it, like Valentino, Armani.

Strut about like a drama king.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111637\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-111637\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/800px-Louis_XIV_of_France-800x1137.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of King Louis XIV by Hyacinth Rigaud, 1701 at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. \" width=\"800\" height=\"1137\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/800px-Louis_XIV_of_France.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/800px-Louis_XIV_of_France-160x227.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/800px-Louis_XIV_of_France-768x1092.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Portrait of King Louis XIV by Hyacinth Rigaud, 1701 at the Musée du Louvre, Paris.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To remind us of one such drama king, there’s Louis XIV, in his official portrait: one leg in front, hand on hip, modeling his massive royal cloak, along with silk stockings and red-heeled shoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exhibit then takes us from the verb to the adjective, “campish,” which had gay connotations in the 19th century, and then to the noun, where camp first enters a Victorian dictionary in 1909, defined as “actions and gestures of exaggerated emphasis. Probably from the French.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then comes the fashion. There’s “naive camp,” which is intended to be serious but failing, versus “deliberate camp,” intended to be, well, campy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are enormous feathered dresses—Sontag wrote that camp was “a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers”—by Armani and by Jeremy Scott, the latter surrounded by scores of attached butterflies. Scott, a specialist in camp, also is represented by a dress of dollar bills, and his McDonald’s-themed outfits for Moschino, where he serves as creative director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From John Galliano, there are dresses that seem made of newspaper clippings and packing tape. And because the Palace of Versailles is seen as “a sort of camp [Garden of] Eden,” there’s a section of Versailles-style gowns by designers like Franco Moschino and Vivienne Westwood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Camp is ‘Swan Lake,’” Sontag wrote, so we also have Bjork’s famous swan dress by designer Marjan Pejoski, the bird’s long neck curving over the shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representing what Sontag called “the convertibility of ‘man’ and ‘woman,’” designer Thom Browne contributes a man’s wedding outfit that combines a black tuxedo with a white filmy skirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And maybe there isn’t a Lady Gaga meat dress, but there’s a Jeremy Scott “prosciutto dress” (not real, this time), and his wacky TV dinner cape—with carrots, peas and corn on one side, mashed potatoes with butter on the other (they’re fake too, thankfully).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because camp “sees everything in quotation marks” (Sontag again), there is designer Virgil Abloh’s 2018 little black dress that says “Little Black Dress,” with boots that say “For Walking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s a gigantic birthday cake-like dress of cascading pink tulle by Viktor & Rolfe, which says “Less is More”—because camp is, above all, about irony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bolton says he started thinking about camp two years ago when mounting his show on Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. He reread Sontag’s essay and was struck by how relevant it felt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was also inspired to mark the 50th anniversary this year of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a landmark moment in the history of gay rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_111638\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-111638\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"General view of the Press Event for The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition "Camp: Notes on Fashion" on February 22, 2019 in Milan, Italy. \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/05/Camp-2-GettyImages-1131338963-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">General view of the Press Event for The Costume Institute's spring 2019 exhibition \"Camp: Notes on Fashion\" on February 22, 2019 in Milan, Italy. \u003ccite>(Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images for The Metropolitan Museum of Art)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bolton notes that some designers have always embraced camp—Moschino, Scott, Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui, for example. “But what you’re seeing now is other designers adopting it, like Valentino, Armani.

It's even more difficult to become a director in animation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 2010 and 2017, only one major animation release—across Disney, Dreamworks, Universal, Warner Bros. and Fox—has been directed solely by women: \u003cem>Kung Fu Panda 2\u003c/em> (2011) by Jennifer Yuh Nelson. That statistic comes from Cartoon Brew, an independently-owned animation news site that \u003ca href=\"https://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/second-year-row-women-will-not-direct-major-animation-releases-2018-155501.html\">tracked 104 animation releases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, Pixar has launched SparkShorts, a series of short animated films designed to give women and people of color more leadership opportunities in animation. The first three films \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpVg7pgd-JzP-DWROTsaMY8IDWElHMycx\">were released in February on YouTube\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZS5cgybKcI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SparkShorts addresses the major problems in bringing along new directors for feature-length animation: long lead time and big budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As we thought of how to get opportunities to future filmmakers quickly, there was a lot of discussion about what we could be doing in a different way,\" said Lindsey Collins, Pixar's vice president of development. \"And one of the things that came up was just how long it takes for one of our films to get made and therefore the runway for new filmmakers can be very long.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each SparkShort takes just six months to produce, compared with four to six years for animated feature films. The SparkShorts also have much smaller budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pixar Animation Studios declined to comment on specific budget costs. \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> reports that Pixar animated feature films \"generally cost roughly \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/26/movies/coco-dominates-thanksgiving-weekend-box-office.html\">$175 million\u003c/a> to produce.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins said the idea for SparkShorts stemmed from the idea of art-school projects, where a film has to be produced on deadline with few resources: \"We said: What if we chose some filmmakers ... and said they could make a film as long as it was animated and was a narrative, character-based story, that they would be left alone and be given the resources to get a film up?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The First Batch\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A goal of the SparkShorts program is gender parity, so each set of SparkShorts will feature an equal number of male and female directors. In February's release, two of the three films were directed by women (with three more films coming later this year). Future groups of SparkShorts will be released on a year-by-year basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the first stories, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo\">\u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, is directed and produced by two women, Kristen Lester and Gillian Libbert-Duncan. It tells the story of a living pink ball of yarn named Purl, who is clearly out of place among her human, white, male colleagues. The short film echoes what it's like to be a woman working in a predominantly male office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So what's particularly nice about \u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>'s reaction online is that people aren't clearly pointing out, like, 'Oh gosh, it doesn't feel like it's at the animation caliber of a theatrical short,' but are rather kind of smitten with the story,\" Collins said. \"And it's ultimately reassuring our philosophy here that if the story is great, the rest of the audience will be right there with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CeliaHodent/status/1099376966233247744\">audiences\u003c/a> are \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/maryamb/status/1094410065166114816\">focusing\u003c/a> more on the story's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/unharmonic/status/1095447773586120706\">narrative\u003c/a> than with the quality of the animation of the SparkShorts films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there's not this sense of not, like, 'Oh my gosh, I have to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/15/619253624/in-pixars-first-female-directed-short-a-dumpling-child-fills-an-empty-nest\">go out in front of \u003cem>Incredibles 2\u003c/em>\u003c/a>' and I'm bearing this huge burden of: 'This has to be the most amazing short film ever,'\" Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first three SparkShorts to be released—\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo\">\u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZS5cgybKcI\">\u003cem>Kitbull\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4-G7YpSFb4&t=22s\">\u003cem>Smash and Grab\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—are available to watch on YouTube. The next three films will be released on Disney+, the company's just-announced consumer streaming service, in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4-G7YpSFb4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two of the fall releases will be directed by people of color. Edwin Chang, a Korean-American, will direct\u003cem> Wind\u003c/em>, a magical realism story about a grandmother and grandson. And in Pixar's first animated short with Pinoy characters, Filipino-American Robert Rubio will direct \u003cem>Float\u003c/em>, a story about a father's instinct to protect his son—who has the ability to float in the air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erica Milsom, the last of the three women directors of this year's SparkShorts, will release \u003cem>Loop\u003c/em>, which tells the story of a non-verbal autistic girl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins said Pixar is trying to make two to four new SparkShorts per year, with the exception of the initial 2019 batch of six.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hope is that if we keep going with these, that people will continue to get more opportunities,\" Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Changing The Boys Club\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The president of the non-profit organization Women in Animation, Marge Dean, has noticed that slowly, women are getting more opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So five years ago, I would say the animation industry was pretty much a boys' club,\" Dean said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those opportunities really increased beginning in 2017. That's when the #MeToo movement took off after producer \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/tags/555982871/harvey-weinstein\">Harvey Weinstein\u003c/a>, former Nickelodeon animator and \u003cem>The Loud House \u003c/em>creator Chris Savino, and Pixar's former chief creative officer \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/21/565801354/pixars-john-lasseter-takes-leave-of-absence-after-harassment-allegations\">John Lasseter\u003c/a>—among others—were accused of sexual misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dean said the animation industry landscape has evolved since the arrival of #MeToo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That changed everything,\" she said. \"That's when everyone woke up and goes, 'No, we're serious about this.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's still a long way to go before women achieve equal representation. According to Women in Animation, \u003ca href=\"http://womeninanimation.org/5050-by-2025/\">60 percent of all animation and art-school students\u003c/a> are women, yet only 20 percent of creative jobs in the industry—producers, directors, writers, animators, and art and design jobs—are currently held by women. Women in Animation is aiming for parity by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that the next step is getting women to get to the top,\" said Maureen Fan, who is an Asian-American woman and CEO \u003ca href=\"https://www.baobabstudios.com/about-us\">of Baobab Studios\u003c/a>. \"There's the grassroots bottom-up. But there's also top-down. Right, so, people tend to hire people like themselves. So if you end up having more diversity at the top, it will naturally also be bringing in more diverse perspectives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fan is pushing for more women and people of color in animation. The Baobab Studios animated short \u003cem>Crow: The Legend\u003c/em> is based on a Native American legend. Fan says she purposely cast the film largely with people of color, including John Legend, Oprah Winfrey and Constance Wu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO4PrtAKu2E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fan is also active in Gold House, a group of Asian American executives, founders, and A-list celebrities in Hollywood, Silicon Valley, New York City and elsewhere who \"help each other move up the corporate and cultural ladder.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among their efforts is #GoldOpen, \"a system to drive Asian films to no.1 at the box office opening weekend through buyouts, theatrical and social network partnerships and viral social media campaigns. The Asian community movement bought out theaters to boost the box office numbers in summer 2018 for the release of \u003cem>Crazy Rich Asians\u003c/em>,\u003cem> Searching\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Burning \u003c/em>and more,\" Fan wrote in an email to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December 2018, Fan created a sub-group within Gold House to discuss how to create representation in animation: \"whether it's representing diverse viewpoints, meaning animation about different types of people and cultures, and also getting more diverse viewpoints behind the camera as well,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is also actively working to measure the profits of diversity on the big screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you have more diversity points or you make films about different cultures and races, it makes good money in the box offices,\" Fan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, \u003cem>Coco\u003c/em> became the sixth highest-grossing Pixar animated feature film with a global box-office intake of $807.1 million. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/11/20/564385036/mexico-music-and-family-take-center-stage-in-coco\">The film takes place in Mexico\u003c/a> during Día de los Muertos—or Day of the Dead—and tells the story of a young Mexican boy who embarks on a journey to discover his family's history and, in the process, uses music to bring the memory of the dead back to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And while I would like to be idealistic and say we're doing the right thing, I do think it always does come down to business,\" Fan said. \"And we do have to prove the financial worth of doing so.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ted Robbins edited this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The SparkShorts also have much smaller budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pixar Animation Studios declined to comment on specific budget costs. \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> reports that Pixar animated feature films \"generally cost roughly \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/26/movies/coco-dominates-thanksgiving-weekend-box-office.html\">$175 million\u003c/a> to produce.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins said the idea for SparkShorts stemmed from the idea of art-school projects, where a film has to be produced on deadline with few resources: \"We said: What if we chose some filmmakers ... and said they could make a film as long as it was animated and was a narrative, character-based story, that they would be left alone and be given the resources to get a film up?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The First Batch\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A goal of the SparkShorts program is gender parity, so each set of SparkShorts will feature an equal number of male and female directors. In February's release, two of the three films were directed by women (with three more films coming later this year). Future groups of SparkShorts will be released on a year-by-year basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the first stories, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo\">\u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, is directed and produced by two women, Kristen Lester and Gillian Libbert-Duncan.

The short film echoes what it's like to be a woman working in a predominantly male office.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/B6uuIHpFkuo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/B6uuIHpFkuo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\"So what's particularly nice about \u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>'s reaction online is that people aren't clearly pointing out, like, 'Oh gosh, it doesn't feel like it's at the animation caliber of a theatrical short,' but are rather kind of smitten with the story,\" Collins said. \"And it's ultimately reassuring our philosophy here that if the story is great, the rest of the audience will be right there with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins said \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CeliaHodent/status/1099376966233247744\">audiences\u003c/a> are \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/maryamb/status/1094410065166114816\">focusing\u003c/a> more on the story's \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/unharmonic/status/1095447773586120706\">narrative\u003c/a> than with the quality of the animation of the SparkShorts films.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there's not this sense of not, like, 'Oh my gosh, I have to \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/15/619253624/in-pixars-first-female-directed-short-a-dumpling-child-fills-an-empty-nest\">go out in front of \u003cem>Incredibles 2\u003c/em>\u003c/a>' and I'm bearing this huge burden of: 'This has to be the most amazing short film ever,'\" Collins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first three SparkShorts to be released—\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uuIHpFkuo\">\u003cem>Purl\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZS5cgybKcI\">\u003cem>Kitbull\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4-G7YpSFb4&t=22s\">\u003cem>Smash and Grab\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—are available to watch on YouTube.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
