Past the headlines, into the decisions.
California Dreamshot is a podcast from California Forward (CA FWD) — a multi-partisan, nonprofit organization working to build a new California economy that’s resilient, sustainable, and inclusive. Our hosts and their guests go past the headlines to the decisions that actually shape the state.
With a focus on industrial and energy policy, and climate and economic resilience, California Dreamshot is made for the people who move California forward. New episodes every other week.
One Show, Two Beats, Four Expert Voices
Beat 1 — Industrial & Energy Policy
The transition, the grid, what gets built and where. Hosted by Kate Gordon (CA FWD) and Priyanka Mohanty (United Auto Workers’ Center for Manufacturing a Green Economy).
Beat 2 — Resilience Policy
Wildfire, insurance, climate risk, and the finance behind it. Hosted by Nuin-Tara Key (CA FWD) and Carolyn Kousky (Insurance for Good).
New episodes every other week, alternating beats.

California is the world’s fourth-largest economy and its most ambitious climate laboratory—the decisions that shape both are usually made far from public view. California Dreamshot brings those decisions into the open: real stories, real data, and the people actually doing the work, talking honestly about what it takes to build an economy that works for every region of the state.
Episodes
Every now and then, the full crew sits down together for a Roundtable. The rest of the time, the show alternates every other week between our two beats: Resilience Policy and Industrial & Energy Policy.
