Mathilde Rand

In December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice.In 2017, I started the Community TV program Connect, exploring the connections people establish with their community. When Jean Kratzer opted for the radio program Exploring Santa Cruz, she asked me to join. I have transferred a number of the Connect programs to an Exploring Santa Cruz segment. Live Exploring Santa Cruz programs are also offeredI am also the treasurer at KSQD.
