We have identified that radio jets are commonly associated with “radiative mode” feedback in quasars. By performing a systematic multi-wavelength study of z < 0.2 quasars, we have found that 70–80% of our sample of ‘radio-quiet’ type 2 quasars, which host kpc-scale ionized gas outflows, exhibit radio jet structures. Here, we discuss our results on the pilot sample of 10 objects that combine high resolution (∼ 0.25 - 1 arcsec) radio imaging at 1-7 GHz with optical IFU observations. Our results demonstrate that it is extremely common for jets to be spatially and kinematically linked to kpc-scale ionized gas kinematics in such quasars. Therefore, radio jets may be an important driver of outflows during ‘radiative mode’ feedback, apparently blurring the lines between the traditional divisions of feedback modes.
