- Start the Conversation (KQED's California Report)Reaching Common Ground Across Political Divides: "For a new series we’re calling “Start the Conversation,” we listen in on pairs of Californians who have very different opinions on issues, but who also want to find common ground. They’re civil dialogues, not debates — and we hope they’re a way to try to bridge some of the big divides between us in this politically charged time."
