Insight With Vicki Gonzalez

Recapping the end of the legislative session. A new Tahoe Basin evacuation analysis. The Classical Concert Series at the Crocker. Finally, the Behind the Barre festival celebrates 10 years.

End of CA’s Legislative Session

The final legislative session of 2024 wrapped up last week at the State Capitol, which included some progress and drama. Lawmakers sent bills to the governor on some of California's biggest issues from retail theft to artificial intelligence. CapRadio Politics Reporters Megan Myscofski and Laura Fitzgerald join Insight to explain what happened.

Lake Tahoe Evacuation Analysis

A new, independent study says that wildfire evacuations from the Lake Tahoe Basin could take between 9-14 hours, especially if one of the few routes out of the area is blocked. Doug Flaherty, President of the Tahoe Sierra Clean Air Coalition discusses why this new study was commissioned, the different simulations it modeled, and how this analysis might impact wildfire preparedness.

Crocker’s ‘Classical Concert’ Series

The Crocker Art Museum has been holding its Classical Concert Series for over 50 years, featuring musical performances inspired by the museum’s collections. The next show on Sunday, Sept. 8 will feature CapRadio Midday Classical Host Jennifer Reason and Morning Classical Host Mike Nelson, who join Insight with a preview of their 1940s-inspired performance.

‘Behind the Barre’ Festival

A celebration of all things art will dance to life this weekend at the Red Museum as the Capital Dance Project presents its 10th Behind the Barre festival. Julia Feldman is a founding member of the Capital Dance Project and she sat down with Insight host Vicki Gonzalez to set the scene for this weekend’s festivities, which are the culmination of a months-long collaboration between Sacramento dancers and artists.
