Political Analysis

KQED Newsroom goes on the road again to UC Hastings College of the Law to discuss the week’s big political and legal news.

Guests:

  • Professor Rory Little, UC Hastings College of the Law
  • Scott Shafer, KQED politics and government senior editor
  • Carla Marinucci, Politico senior writer

Working Homeless

Many of the thousands of homeless people in the Bay Area work part- or full-time jobs even as they struggle to find a place to shower and sleep. We hear from three individuals about the challenges and misconceptions that many working homeless must overcome.
