Recalled Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is gearing up to enter a new phase in her professional life. Price is launching a podcast on Tuesday.
“Check out ‘Pamela Price: Unfiltered.’ I’m Pamela Price your host and that is where we get to correct the record,” said Price in her promotional video posted on Instagram.
Three months after being recalled by voters, Price said the community asked her to voice her opinions.
“Folks urged me to be part of the community and have a voice again,” said Price.
Luz Pena: “It’s interesting how you just said, ‘to have a voice again,’ and the name of your podcast is Pamela Price Unfiltered. So, what have you been holding back?”
Pamela Price: “Many things that I couldn’t talk about while I was in the district attorney’s office. I have a lot of opinions; I have a lot of information about things that we were not able to share.”
We sat down with Price to have an unfiltered conversation about her take on becoming the first African American woman to hold the county’s top prosecutor job and then getting voted out.
Pena: “What are some of your regrets?”
Price: “Certainly, I regret that the voters decided to end my term prematurely. You know the way the government works, it takes time. We were not given enough time really to role out all the things that we wanted to do. I wanted to do a lot more training with the lawyers, I think they need training on a lot of issues. I wanted to fully finish setting up the public accountability unit. We needed to get the conviction integrity unit really going. Alameda County needs that desperately.”
Price wanted to reform the county’s justice system – something she still believes in.
