Gov. Jerry Brown will join Los Angeles Times publisher and Chief Executive Austin Beutner for a conversation about the state’s critical water shortage on a special episode this week of the newsmagazine “SoCal Connected.”

The talk between Brown and Beutner will take place 6 p.m. Tuesday at USC during a live event to kick off “The California Conversation,” a new series from the Los Angeles Times. Users can see the event streamed live on the KCET and Los Angeles Times websites.

In addition, KCET will air the special 8 p.m. Wednesday, with a rebroadcast the following night at the same time. It will air nationally on KCET’s sister platform, Link TV (DirecTV Channel 375 and DISH Network Channel 9410).

“The conversation will explore the role that residents, businesses, farmers and government play in meeting our water challenges as well as how the rest of the nation is impacted by California’s water policies,” the station wrote in a news release.

KCET has set up a digital hub for more information about the drought crisis here.
