Support for Forum comes from Rancho La Puerta, a wellness resort in Baja, California, just an hour from San Diego,

recently voted the number one destination spa by readers of travel and leisure magazine.

Summer retreat packages of three, four, or seven nights including hiking, water classes,

mindfulness, spa therapies, and culinary adventures with

farm-fresh ingredients. Learn more at Rancho LePuerta.com.

Support for Forum comes from Broadway S.F. presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a

true story. From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of Leo and

Lucille Frank, a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused

of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice,

and devotion.

The riveting and gloriously hopeful parade plays the Orphium Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th.

Tickets on sale now at Broadway, sF.com.

From KQED. From KQED. From KQED, I am your new co-host of Forum.

From KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, this is Forum.

I'm Alexis Madrigal.

And I am your new co-host of Forum.

Starting in late June, I'll be hosting the 9 o'clock hour, and Mina Cam Will, as always,

host the 10 o'clock show. Today, as a special holiday edition of Forum, we'll listen back on a show I hosted in March as part of the one-year anniversary of our COVID lockdown.

I talked with Nicola Twilly and Jeff Mayno, the authors of a book on quarantine's past and current,

a kind of travelogue detailing how infectious diseases have shaped our cities and our societies.

And we heard from you about how the pandemic has remade your understanding of your home and our region.

That's ahead on Forum right after this news.
