Its was created in 1987 as a politics-oriented talk show by then-host Kevin Pursglove,[2] who left to become spokesman for San Jose's then-mayor Susan Hammer, and later eBay.[3] Beginning 1993 it has been hosted by Michael Krasny,[4], scholar, writer, professor of English at San Francisco State University, and former host of various programs on KGO Radio[5] Krasny expanded the program to include a broad cross-section of current events. The format of Forum varies from show to show, but generally involves an in-person interview with one or more subjects, often nationally prominent authors and scholars.[6] The program airs for two hours on weekday mornings.
