As an investigative reporter for KPBS, I've helped expose political scandals and dug into intractable issues like sex trafficking. I've raised tough questions about how government treats foster kids. I've spotlighted the problem of pollution in poor neighborhoods. And I've chronicled corporate mistakes and how the public sometimes ends up paying for them.

I cover local government — a broad beat that includes housing, homelessness and infrastructure. I'm especially interested in the intersections of land use, transportation and climate change.

I love hearing from the community and listening to what's important to you. No story is too small. If it matters to you, more than likely it matters to somebody else too.

Vocalist Robin Adler and her husband, guitarist Dave Blackburn are in their fifteenth year of leading their band Mutts of the Planet, who perform a show based entirely around the music of the great Joni Mitchell. Mitchell’s extraordinary career has spanned over forty years and has freely traveled across numerous musical frontiers during that time, including folk, through radio-friendly pop/rock and further, into jazz. Her long and diverse career has provided fertile ground for Mutts of the Planet to create a fascinating show that draws from all of Joni Mitchell’s artistic phases.
