"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Below it, an array of equipment racks blinked at me. Above, two black speakers the size of file drawers perched like sentinels of the advancing era of digital music production.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My father, Fred Myrow, was a talented composer following in the footsteps of multiple generations of talented musicians. He wrote avant-garde music. He was briefly the composer-in-residence at the New York Philharmonic (\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@rmyrow20/ashes-ashes-we-all-fall-down-ddf305a74003\">until he met my mom\u003c/a> and blew a deadline by failing to finish a composition for which posters had already been put up around the city).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, he wrote\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdVb9jC_El0\"> soundtracks\u003c/a> for movies like\u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079714/\"> \u003cem>Phantasm\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070723/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\"> \u003cem>Soylent Green\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

Why he needed three of them, I’ll never know. Obviously, he had a hoarding problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But of all the machines I found in that overstuffed garage, the most marvelous was a 1957 tabletop Telefunken Opus 7, a vintage radio covered in thick dust and buried in the back of a loft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like so many radios in the mid-20th century, it was housed in a handsomely crafted wooden cabinet, with a gorgeous grille above a glass panel featuring gold-painted tuning options — AM and FM, of course, but also shortwave, with helpful markers for Munich, Stuttgart, New York, Paris, Rome, even\u003ca href=\"https://www.vaticannews.va/en.html\"> Vatican Radio\u003c/a>.[aside postID=news_12043312 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/CLAIRE-SCHWARTZ-L-AND-NINA-RAJ-WITH-A-CHILD_S-DRAWING-RECOVERED-BY-RAJ-AFTER-THE-EATON-FIRE-KQED-1020x765.jpg']I hauled the Opus 7 down, wiped off the surface dust and plugged it in. The lights behind its panel glowed softly and yellow. After a slight delay, an orchestra filled the room with a warm, rich sound. It took my breath away. Seconds later, the sound faded, followed by a crackle — and then the air filled with the smell of burning dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whoops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I opened the back of the Opus 7 and stared at the dust-covered metallic innards. I was a radio reporter, but I’d never seen the inside of a radio. To my untrained eye, the vacuum tubes looked burned out. So I’d need to replace them? I put them in a little box, but I didn’t have the vaguest idea where to find new tubes — nor the money or time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is to say, I had a lot to deal with after my dad died. Each time I moved in the years that followed — and I moved many times — I’d haul the radio with me, thinking, “I really should get this thing fixed.” The radio became a psychologically fraught loose end, one of many gathering dust in the recesses of my subconscious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seven years after his death, my career brought me from Los Angeles, where I grew up, to the San Francisco Bay Area. The radio sat in storage until I moved into a home with more space. So much time had passed — 16 years! — I’d forgotten all about it. Perched silently on top of a bureau, the radio seemed to rebuke me: “When will you fix me? When will my sound fill a room again?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12041347\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12041347\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A museum display of vacuum tubes from the 20th century.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-09-KQED-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the early days of radio, vacuum tubes, like these on display at the California Historical Radio Society in Alameda, California, amplified weak electromagnetic signals picked up by the antenna. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>On the recommendation of colleagues at KQED, I found the repair directory for the\u003ca href=\"https://californiahistoricalradio.com/repair-directory/\"> California Historical Radio Society\u003c/a> and got in touch with\u003ca href=\"https://www.simonsvintagerepair.com\"> Simon Favre\u003c/a>. I visited the retired Silicon Valley engineer in his Milpitas living room, which was filled with cabinet radios in various stages of repair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like the style of the early-to-mid-20th-century radios,” he told me. “I guess it’s kind of nostalgia. There was a certain style to that era, you know, the 20s up to the 50s. It’s kind of my sweet spot for fixing things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 72-year-old Favre, who worked in various roles for Silicon Valley companies, has been a “hardware guy” and a “tinkerer” since childhood. He diagnosed the problems with my Opus 7 and, for $200, replaced some capacitors, mended a plastic tuning wheel with super glue and baking soda, and yes, replaced the vacuum tubes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I plugged the radio in at home, there was a pause, then a rush of static. I turned the dial slightly, and orchestral strings once again filled the air. I jumped up and down with delight.

But the radio’s backstory remained a mystery. Did my father purchase it when he studied in the early 1960s at the\u003ca href=\"http://www.santacecilia.it/en/chi_siamo/accademia/storia.html\"> Santa Cecilia Academy of Music\u003c/a> in Rome?

As we age and those around us die, the connections and the stories burn out, one by one. Just a handful of people who knew my dad are still around — people, I thought, who just might know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I texted a photo of the radio to my godfather, the magnificent composer and arranger\u003ca href=\"https://flypaper.soundfly.com/discover/inimitable-legacy-van-dyke-parks-journey-song/\"> Van Dyke Parks\u003c/a>. He and my dad were like two peas in a pod, similar in talent and outlook. Van Dyke texted back to remind me that he didn’t meet my dad until 1967 or ’68. But remarkably, Van Dyke had bought that exact radio model in 1957 when he was a boy, while acting in a \u003cem>Heidi\u003c/em> film for RKO in Munich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Dyke rang me on the phone, his mind racing with memories. “You hit the heartstrings with that particular picture. So beautiful to behold,” he said. While he didn’t know the particulars of my dad’s radio or how he acquired it, Van Dyke recalled what the Opus 7 meant in a time before satellites and the internet accustomed us to tinny, compressed music on demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12041346\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12041346\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"The insides of a 1957 radio feature dust covered speakers above a dust covered chassis of other radio parts.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/250522-RADIO-RADIO-RM-08-KQED-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view inside the unrepaired Telefunken Opus 7. \u003ccite>(Rachael Myrow/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This was a big deal, shortwave,” he sighed, thinking back to happy hours spent listening to great European conductors like\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/arts/music/otto-klemperer-conductor.html\"> Otto Klemperer\u003c/a>. Then, being the strings specialist he is, Van Dyke praised the way tube amps make partials (higher-frequency vibrations) that you get from a rosin bow “really available.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know what he means, even without having his classical training. In that brief moment back in 1999, when my dad’s radio surged to life, I responded most to the harmonic thrum of the string instruments. A quarter-century later, the memory of that sound rushed back, twinned with grief and nostalgia for my father and his music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The internet has afforded my father some posthumous appreciation, especially in the comments sections on YouTube clips of his soundtracks. I wish he were alive to read them, given how much he struggled when alive for his music to be heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the people we love die before we do, leaving us \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13824126/the-dead-will-talk-to-you-now-or-at-least-listen-in-santa-cruz\">helplessly nostalgic\u003c/a>. My own nostalgia comes attached to the music my father left as his legacy, along with the equipment that fostered his creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still have a number of microcassette tapes on which my dad recorded many notes to himself. A quarter-century later, it’s still too painful for me to listen to the sound of his voice, especially from the last years of his life. The white-hot grief I felt in 1999 comes rushing up, and I have to hit the stop button. The tapes sit in a box on a high shelf in my own home studio now, gathering their own dust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I turn on that Telefunken Opus 7, with the dial set to the Bay Area’s classical station, KDFC, the panel glows with that warm, yellow light, the vacuum tubes engage, and an orchestra fills my room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My heart grows full as the music swells, and I can feel my dad wink at me from across an otherwise unbreachable expanse of space and time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
