About this Event
, KPBS’ cross-border podcast, tells stories that question what it means to belong to a region that exists at the edge of distinct cultures and languages. KPBS has created a space in the airwaves where those cross border stories can resonate. Now we want to jump from the airwaves into a live production and you are invited.
We are opening our doors and inviting you to the KPBS studio for a behind-the-scenes look at Port of Entry. Join us September 22nd and see our podcast creation first-hand and meet the team. The excitement doesn't stop there — you'll also participate in the crafting of an actual episode during a live interview session with the incredibly talented graphic artist Charles Glaubitz, and actor and screenwriter Giancarlo Ruiz. Plus, you'll enjoy an exclusive tour of the newly renovated KPBS building and light refreshments.
Hope to see you there!
This event is part of World Design Experience powered by San Diego Design Week.
