Rose Aguilar is a radio host and journalist from San Francisco. She currently hosts Your Call, a daily, live call-in radio show on NPR-affiliates KALW 91.7 FM in San Francisco and KUSP 88.9 FM in Santa Cruz. Your Call airs from 11 am - noon PST and features in-depth conversations about everything from the occupation of Iraq and poverty to the environment and the arts. Rose is a contributor to the book, Red State Rebels: Tales of Grassroots Resistance in the Heartland. She also writes for Alternet and offers political analysis for the BBC.
Rose's new book Red Highways is about a six-month road trip she took to the so-called "red states" to interview people about the issues they care about and why they vote the way they do (or not). Equal parts travelogue, political reportage, and personal discovery, Red Highways challenges conventional wisdom, gives a voice to the people you rarely hear from or see in the media, and calls for a more thoughtful and productive dialogue between Red and Blue America.
