Join us as Charito and Chen of AstraLogik return to the show! It’s been over a hundred episodes since they were last on, and a lot of craziness has happened in the last few years—so we’re catching up.

AstraLogik is a queer Filipina musical duo from the San Francisco Bay Area featuring Charito Soriano (vocals, ukulele, keys) and Chen (guitar, flute). Together for over 15 years, they blend soul, R&B, hip-hop, and folk with heartfelt storytelling and community connection. Their work also incorporates sound healing, creating experiences that bridge music, mindfulness, and collective well-being.

Charito and Chen are also part of Pinay Voltron (@pinayvltrn), an all-women, multi-generational Filipina music collective from the Bay Area. The group amplifies Filipina and queer artists through live performances, community, and culture. They blend Filipino cultural sounds with R&B, soul, rock, hip-hop, and jazz while creating safe spaces for Pinay and queer musicians. Their debut EP, Everyone’s Busy, was released in 2025.

During intermission, we’ll be playing AstraLogik’s song “Right Place.”

Our city is facing real challenges. In District 2, many residents are concerned about rising crime, safety issues, and the cost of living that’s making it harder for families and seniors to stay in their homes.

In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the pressing issues facing Oakland’s District 2 — including public safety and housing affordability — and explore what different candidates are proposing to address them.

There has been a significant reported increase in human trafficking in the area, with concerns that it has risen sharply in recent years. Students at Roosevelt Junior High and Oakland High School, particularly young women, deserve to walk streets like International Boulevard safely. At the same time, many longtime seniors are feeling the pressure from rising property taxes, making it difficult to remain in the neighborhoods they’ve called home for decades.

These are serious issues that deserve serious solutions.

One candidate stepping up is Murad Reed.

Murad is a dedicated family man, a father, and a blue-collar worker who has deep roots in the community. He believes District 2 needs fresh leadership focused on practical results.

As a candidate for City Council, Murad Reed is committed to:

• Combating human trafficking and improving public safety so that residents, especially families and young people, can feel secure in their neighborhoods.
• Supporting seniors by addressing the impact of rising property taxes and exploring ways to help longtime homeowners stay in their homes.

Murad brings a working-class perspective and a commitment to accountability, transparency, and solutions that put District 2 residents first.

Tune in to hear more about his vision for safer streets, stronger families, and more responsive local government.

It's been a while — a few months, to be exact — and I want to start by saying thank you for your grace and patience. Life has a way of pulling you in different directions, but Kenni and I are here, and we have a lot to talk about: the fireworks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and a California Governor's Race with debates that were anything but civil.

I also want to take a moment for two very important dedications. To my old friend Robert Duncan Nicol — may you find peace wherever your next adventure takes you. The Robert Duncan Nicol Silent Garden Endowed Chair

And to my Father — I love you more than words. Rest in peace.
