This
week I'm very excited about the premiere of the latest
entry in our weekend line-up of cooking shows - José
Made in Spain. In each 30-minute episode award-winning
chef José Andrés will provide a gastronomic
and cultural tour of one of Spain’s 17 vibrant regions,
drawing on his larger-than-life personality and unparalleled
expertise about Spain. Visiting the source and inspiration
of the dishes he prepares in his own kitchen, Andrés
will demonstrate that the flavors made in Spain can be
created at here at home. One of his dreams – "to
soon see a paella pan on every backyard grill in America!" |

Winston Churchill’s quest for his inner self took
two forms: a constant thirst for exotic travel and a passion
for the exuberance of painting and the beauty of words. His
granddaughter Celia Sandys traveled extensively with Churchill
towards the end of his life. Now, in this new three-part series,
she follows in her grandfather’s footsteps.
 Nova:
Mystery of the Megaflood
Tuesday, July 22, 8-9pm
[Find
all broadcasts]
It was the greatest flood of the past two million
years, and it posed a giant scientific riddle. A maverick
geologist became convinced that thousand-foot-deep floodwaters
had scoured out vast areas of the American Northwest near
the end of the last ice age. While mainstream scientists scorned
his theory, he searched for answers. Be more curious at the
Nova
website.

Feedback
A
member from Easthampton wrote, Thank you especially for
broadcasting (and frequently rebroadcasting overnight) public
affairs programs including, in order of importance to me, Newshour,
Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, P.O.V., Wide Angle, Washington
Week, NOW, Charlie Rose, and Foreign Exchange.
I also especially enjoy arts programs such as Great
Performances and American Masters
as well as those rather rare occasions when you broadcast opera.
A now retired history teacher, I have long appreciated the excellent
quality of the occasional Ken Burns documentary as well as the
regular American Experience series. Would that
there were a comparable series focusing on historical episodes
global as well as national, non-western (Asia, Africa, and Latin
America) as well as western (Europe and the United States).
