Mychal Threets on Reviving 'Reading Rainbow' And Tech Titans and Trump Want National Guard in SF
Description
In a news conference Wednesday, President Trump said he will be “strongly recommending” his administration look into sending troops to the city, which he called “a mess.” The comments come after Elon Musk and Mark Benioff said they’d like to see the National Guard in San Francisco. We discuss what may come next, but first we talk with the new host of “Reading Rainbow.” Almost 20 years since it went off air, the beloved kids’ literacy show is back. The reboot is hosted by Mychal Threets who, until last year, was a librarian at the same Fairfield library he grew up frequenting.
Guests:
Mychal Threets, librarian and literacy advocate; new host of "Reading Rainbow"
Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED; co-host, KQED's "Political Breakdown"
