Forum's last broadcast on KVPR was August 25, 2023.
KQED's Statewide Forum is home for the conversations Californians are hungry for -- deep, on-going dialogue about the issues our state is grappling with.
Mina Kim started her career in public radio at KQED as an intern with KQED’s Pacific Time. When the station began expanding its local news coverage in 2010, she became a general assignment reporter then health reporter for the station’s statewide news service The California Report. Kim’s award-winning stories have included on-the-scene reporting of the 2014 Napa earthquake and a series on gun violence in Oakland. Kim became the Friday Forum host in late 2014. She’s interviewed many notable figures, including Nancy Pelosi, Senator Bernie Sanders, Sarah Silverman, Roxane Gay, Elvis Costello, and Senator Cory Booker, among others.
