Forum is a two-hour live call-in radio program produced by KQED-FM, presenting discussions of local, state, national and international issues, and in-depth interviews.

The program began in 1990 as a politics-oriented talk show, created and hosted by Kevin Pursglove.

[2][3] After hosting the show for nearly 30 years, Krasny announced his retirement effective February 2021.

[5][6] The format of Forum varies from show to show, but generally involves an in-person interview followed by public Q&A via phone or email with one or more subjects, often nationally prominent authors and scholars.

[citation needed] The station also launched a Discord server to improve its engagement with its audience, saying it was the first station to do so and drawing inspiration from Bellingcat and the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.
