    May 22 2026

    Reading about climate change can leave us feeling helpless, anxious and disengaged.


    But focusing on solutions can have the opposite effect.


    For NPR's Climate Solutions Week, we're highlighting how San Diego communities are doing their part for the climate.

    Plus, we continue our election series in the run-up to the June 2 primary. This week, we break down the races for Superior Court judge seats.


    Then, a conversation all about the the world of Pokémon, with some of the crew behind The Finest podcast, who recently produced an episode about the Pokémon economy.


    Guests:

    • Tammy Murga, environment reporter, KPBS
    • Katie Hyson, racial justice and social equity reporter, KPBS
    • Audy McAfee, arts and culture reporter, KPBS
    • Anthony Wallace, producer, "The Finest" podcast, KPBS

    Right now, more than 5,000 people are being held in California's eight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.

    That includes the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico.

    Plus, we take a look into the race for California's 75th Assembly District seat, with incumbent Carl DeMaio and challenger Gerald Boursiquot.

    And, we highlight journalists telling stories in Tijuana and what it means to be a reporter in the region.

    • Kori Suzuki, South Bay and Imperial Valley reporter, KPBS
    • Scott Rodd, investigative reporter, KPBS
