KCBS Radio In Depth

We are drawing ever closer to November and to when America will decide who will be the next president. According to most polls - at least so far - Vice President Kamala Harris holds a narrow lead over former President Donald Trump. But here in California, especially among Latino voters, support seems to be tipping a bit more blue. A recent statewide survey has found that Harris ha

Research shows that climate change isn’t just something that’s negatively affecting the planet, it’s having a deep impact on our mental health as well. Every new wildfire, every flash flood, every heatwave brings on another level of eco-anxiety in many people. A survey conducted by UNDP, Oxford University and GeoPoll, found that 56% of respondents think at least once a week a

One thing you learn as a Californian is that fire season - at least for the last 10 years or so - can be during almost any season. We’ve seen fires grow hotter, bigger - and spread even faster, with seemingly more frequency, too. However, evolving right along with these blazes is CalFire.

When we think about how the climate crisis is affecting California, we look at the wildfires, we look at the heatwaves, but climate change is being felt in our streams, creeks, and rivers as well.

With President Biden stepping away from the presidential race and Vice President Kamala Harris now being the Democrats' choice - which has given the democratic party a much needed shot of energy - what does this mean for former President Trump’s campaign going forward? And are both parties struggling to appeal to one of the biggest voting demographics in California, as well as in

The decision by President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race was a historic one, which will have sweeping implications for the country and the world. For in depth analysis, KCBS Radio anchor Bryan Goebel was joined by Dr. David McCuan, the chair of the Political Science department at Sonoma State University; Dr. McCuan specializes in American politics and International

‘Everyone Watches Women’s Sports’ Those are the words on a shirt that you might have seen celebrities wearing when courtside at a WNBA game or while cheering during a goal made at a NWSL match. And it does seem to be true, that everyone has their eyes on women’s sports. The hope, of course, is that this will help to grow the leagues, the interest, the investment, so that th
