KPBS Producers Club
"I joined KPBS' Producers Club to support public broadcasting. The educational shows that my children grew up watching, and now my grandchildren, are very important to me. The programming, news and diverse community that KPBS supports is very impactful. Of course, all the classy events I enjoy attending are led by an awesome team that is kind and courteous. I encourage you to join today and make a difference! "
Nanda Mehta
Producers Club Committee President and Member
"I have been a member since I moved to San Diego in 2003. I will celebrate my 101st birthday on May 18. PBS is my favorite source of entertainment and education. There is no night during the week when I am not watching one or another program that opens new vistas for me."
Irving Tragen
PC Member
"When I went to a KPBS Producers Club event, I just walked in and felt at home. The people were wonderful, charming, we all shared the same interests. And I looked around and said, “I have found my people"
Linda Fisler
PC Member
"I have always been a fan of KPBS. My children grew up on Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. I see all aspects of living in San Diego through KPBS. I have learned more about the city, about the areas around it, the people who live here. "
Zohreh Ghahremani
PC Member
"The Producers Club hosts special events for their members and we are able to attend receptions with the actors in a play or behind-the-scenes information from KPBS. It’s a great group of people. I smile when I say “Producers Club” because it’s so much fun!"
Julie Hatch
PC Member
"I have been a KPBS member for a long time, starting with just a basic membership in the early days until the kids all have finished college and we have more to contribute. I turn on the radio to KPBS whenever I'm driving and sometimes at home. I get my daily updates on the news both international and local. Thank you and keep up the good work."
Shannon Huang

"I love the programming and the fact that Producers Club members have opportunities to gather together. What the Producers Club offers over and over are unique experiences."
Susan & Dennis Cook
PC Member
"Someone approached me to host a Producers Club event at a restaurant in Little Italy that I own. We did an event there. I was able to meet some of the other Producers Club members and really felt like I found my tribe."
Matt Spencer
