Beginning in 1995, Brown hosted a daily call-in talk show on the local [[Pacifica Radio]] station, [[KPFA]]-FM, in [[Berkeley, California|Berkeley]] broadcast to major U.S. markets.<ref name="salon1996"/> Both the radio program and Brown's political action organization, based in [[Oakland, California|Oakland]], were called ''We the People''.<ref name="salon1996"/> His programs, usually featuring invited guests, generally explored alternative views on a wide range of social and political issues, from education and health care to spirituality and the death penalty.<ref name="salon1996"/>

The official [[gubernatorial portrait of Jerry Brown]], commemorating his first period as Governor of California, was painted by [[Don Bachardy]] and unveiled in 1984. The painting has long been controversial due to its departure from the traditional norms of portraiture.<ref name="KlossSkvarla2002">{{cite book |author1=William Kloss |author2=Diane K.

Brown had a long-term friendship with his aide Jacques Barzaghi<!-- Q103007833 -->, whom he met in the early 1970s and put on his payroll. Author Roger Rapaport wrote in his 1982 Brown biography ''California Dreaming: The Political Odyssey of Pat & Jerry Brown'', "This combination clerk, chauffeur, fashion consultant, decorator, and trusted friend had no discernible powers. Yet, late at night, after everyone had gone home to their families and TV consoles, it was Jacques who lingered in the Secretary (of state's) office." Barzaghi and his sixth spouse Aisha lived with Brown in the warehouse in Jack London Square; Barzaghi was brought into Oakland city government upon Brown's election as mayor, where Barzaghi first acted as the mayor's armed bodyguard. Barzaghi left Brown's staff in July 2004, six days after police had responded to his residence over a complaint of domestic violence, and later moved to Morocco and then Normandy. Barzaghi died in 2021.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/OAKLAND-Barzaghi-leaves-Jerry-Brown-s-staff-2740217.php|author1=Steve Rubenstein |author2=Janine DeFeo |title=Barzaghi Departs Jerry Brown Staff|work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=July 20, 2004 |access-date=November 18, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Seelye|first=Katharine Q.|date=2021-06-25|title=Jacques Barzaghi, a Former Fixture Beside Jerry Brown, Dies at 82|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/us/jacques-barzaghi-dead.html|access-date=2022-02-06|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
