Issues & Ideas: a multi-city suicide prevention summit and a student start-up

T-MHA.com

On this week’s episode of “Beyond the Furrows”, KCBX's Francisco Martinez introduces you to a farmworker who has spent much of her life giving back- to her kids, and to her community. In our new feature “Agenda Breakdown” Kim Bisheff explains the process used when a city’s mayor steps down. Also, from student reporters at UC Santa Barbara, you’ll learn about ways to coexist with the wildlife which is increasingly showing up in urban areas. In the “Nonprofit Story”, Jill Bolster-White of Transitions Mental Health Association talks about helping others with mental health struggles. And finally, on “Working Lunch” you’ll meet Walt Lafky, co-founder of the successful Cal Poly student start-up Harvestly.

Francisco Martinez joined KCBX in January 2021 as a substitute staff announcer and then became a regular afternoon announcer, occasional reporter and host of Citizen Sound, our two-hour alternative music show that airs at 11:00 p.m. Sundays. Francisco moved back to the Bay Area in January 2022 and departed as Citizen Sound’s regular host in June 2022; he’s since returned as a fill-in host for Citizen Sound, Speak Low and anything else that’s needed.
