PBS KIDS is one of the only places in kids' media that still feels like it's made by people who actually like children. It's the show your kid watches and then… somehow… can still turn the iPad off without acting like you just stole their life force (because their programming is slow paced, based on research enhancing your child's brain rather than rotting it). It's the content that teaches real skills (letters, math, emotional regulation, empathy) without turning your child into a tiny zombie who can't look away. And right now? That lifeline is being cut.This week, Kristin sits down with Sara DeWitt (Senior VP + General Manager of PBS KIDS) for a conversation every parent needs to hear, about what PBS does differently, why it matters for kids' brains, and what's at stake after federal funding was cut, including the termination of the Ready To Learn grant that helped fund PBS KIDS' education and research work.In this episode, Sara shares:Why some kids' content is designed to be impossible to turn off, and how PBS builds the oppositeWhy “developmentally appropriate” shows are rarer and rarer these days in the media outside of PBS kidsThe real impact of funding cuts (reduced staff, paused research, fewer new shows in the pipeline)The magic of Daniel Tiger (yes, we talk about the iconic “beach in the house” moment)And the story behind Carl the Collector, PBS KIDS' first series with an autistic lead character, and why this kind of representation changes kids foreverIf you've ever felt like PBS KIDS helped you survive early parenthood… if your kid has learned more from Daniel Tiger than from any parenting book on your nightstand… if you've been looking at the screen time landscape like “WE ARE NOT OK”… this one's for you.How to help (fast + doable):Watch PBS KIDS + download the apps (usage matters).Donate to your local PBS station (go to PBS.org, enter your ZIP code).Tell your story — why PBS matters to your family.

It was the summer of 1880, and Charles Guiteau didn't have much going for him. He was unemployed. He had very little money. He had no relationships. His family members feared he was insane. But Charles didn't see himself that way. He thought he was destined for greatness. He'd convinced himself that he was an excellent public speaker with an eye for politics. So? He dedicated himself to James Garfield's presidential campaign.In less than a year, he'd assassinate the president of the United States. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President,” by Candice MillardThe book, “Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield,” by Kenneth D. Ackerman“Murder of a President” documentary and additional resources from PBS.org“‘As a Matter of Fact, I Presume I Shall Live to be President'”: A Brief Biographical Sketch of Garfield's Assassin” from the National Park Service“The Oneida Community,” by John H.

We're hundreds of episodes into Sleeping with Celebrities but we're just now getting a PBS voice on? I know. We're so sorry. But this will make up for it. The brilliant, engaging, and funny Simeon Lipman from Antiques Roadshow knows more about baseball cards and, actually, punk rock memorabilia than most people will ever know about anything. And his knowledge includes a whole lot of arcane data. Let him regale with tales of Jimmy Claxton and of Simeon's long quest to acquire that one Billy Ripken card. You know the one I'm talking about. Yes, baseball can be exciting, and, yes, punk rock even more so, but we promise you that the dulcet tones of Simeon Lipman (current PBS voice) and John Moe (former public radio voice) will zonk you out faster than a fastball to the head and with much less pain.Watch Antiques Roadshow online or on PBS.

The Cinematography Podcast Special: Frederick Wiseman With the passing of documentarian Frederick Wiseman, here is a re-release of our 2020 interview. He discusses City Hall, Titticut Follies, High School and more. Wiseman was a prolific filmmaker, making 45 films over 50 years.  Wiseman's family and Zipporah Films kindly request that you support your local PBS affiliate or independent bookstore in Frederick Wiseman's memory. Frederick Wiseman has proven that, in his words, “If you hang around long enough, you can collect enough material and cut a dramatic narrative film out of real life.” A Frederick Wiseman documentary has a very specific style- no narration, no identifying lower-third captions, no interviews and no camera movement. The viewer simply watches the story unfold as a slice of life. The subject is usually a mundane, everyday institution that many might simply overlook. Wiseman feels his films are not merely observational, but that he actively makes decisions on how to sculpt them into a narrative during the editing process. He enjoys making documentary films because he finds comedy and drama exist in ordinary life, just as much as anyone would find in fiction. Wiseman shies away from the terms “documentary” and “cinema verité”- he thinks the term "movie" is good enough because “documentary” is something that sounds like it's supposed to be good for you. For Wiseman's film, City Hall, he had the idea that recording what happens in a city hall would be a good inside look into the machinery of how a city runs. Boston City Hall happened to be the only one that gave him permission. A staffer of the mayor had seen his films and liked the idea. Unlike some of Wiseman's other movies, Boston mayor Marty Walsh was a central character- as the leader of the city, he is very involved in seeing that it runs smoothly. Before he became a director, Wiseman was a lawyer and law school teacher. He always wanted to be a director, but had no experience with movies. He saw an opportunity to become a producer when he optioned a novel called The Cool World and asked director Shirley Clark to helm it, which helped demystify the process for him. Wiseman's first documentary, 1967's Titticut Follies, was about the Bridgewater Prison for the Criminally Insane. He knew the warden from his years as a lawyer and was able to get permission to shoot at the facility and gain access to the inmates. His next film, High School was released in 1968. "After shooting in a prison for the insane, high school seemed to be the next logical progression," he jokes. Part of Wiseman's process is to find the film as he shoots, venturing forth purposefully blind and with little preparation. For him, it all emerges in the editing process. Wiseman always does his own editing and watches each piece of footage-generally about 150 hours of it- to decide how to structure each sequence. Find Frederick Wiseman's documentaries.

If you've done the therapy, read the books, and tried everything to move on from betrayal—but you're STILL not okay—this episode explains why.  Dr. Debi reveals what Post Betrayal Syndrome® (PBS®) is, why conventional support often falls short, and what betrayal-informed care actually looks like. You'll learn why your body won't let go, why your mind won't quiet, and why the healing path requires specialized support.  This isn't about trying harder. It's about getting the right kind of help.    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:  What Post Betrayal Syndrome Really Is  The physical symptoms: exhaustion, digestive issues, immune dysfunction, unexplained pain  The mental symptoms: brain fog, obsessive thoughts, decision paralysis, hypervigilance  The emotional symptoms: numbness, endless grief, anger that won't leave, inability to trust  The identity impact: not recognizing yourself, questioning your judgment, feeling fundamentally broken  Why Conventional Support Hasn't Worked  Why therapy alone often isn't enough for betrayal recovery  Why self-help books skip essential stages of healing  Why wellness protocols don't resolve symptoms when betrayal is the root cause  Why coaching strategies hit an invisible barrier  The training gap: what most practitioners weren't taught  What Betrayal Does to Your Body  How betrayal creates a nervous system paradox that keeps you stuck in hypervigilance  Why your immune system dysregulates (and the autoimmune connection)  The gut-brain-betrayal axis: why digestive issues start after betrayal  How your entire endocrine system becomes depleted  Why conventional medicine treats these as separate issues when they're all connected  The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough  Stage 1: This isn't happening (shock and denial)  Stage 2: What happened? (making sense of shattered reality)  Stage 3: The need for control (hypervigilance and trust issues)  Stage 4: Finding a new normal (rebuilding identity and boundaries)  Stage 5: Healing and rebirth (complete transformation)  Why you can't skip stages—and what happens when you try  What Betrayal-Informed Support Actually Looks Like  Why betrayal is different from general trauma  What practitioners miss when they aren't betrayal-trained  The difference between coping, managing, and actually healing  How to recognize if support is truly betrayal-informed  Why demand for this support currently exceeds availability    KEY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:  "You're not stuck because you're broken. You're stuck because you haven't had access to the right kind of support."  "Your body isn't broken. Your body is responding exactly as it should to betrayal."  "It's not that you hired the wrong people. It's not that you didn't try hard enough. It's that betrayal requires betrayal-specific support."  "With betrayal, the threat came from someone you trusted. Someone your nervous system believed was safe. That creates a paradox your nervous system can't resolve."  "You can't skip stages. You can't rush them. And you need support that understands which stage you're in and what you need at that stage."  "Most practitioners weren't trained in this—not because they're behind, but because it wasn't included in most certifications."    RESOURCES MENTIONED:  Looking for Betrayal-Informed Support? Join the waitlist to be notified when certified PBT practitioners become available in your area or specialty:

Over the past several years, Bill Gates has embarked on a media tour of sorts, sitting down with outlets like PBS, CNN, and other major networks in an effort to explain why he maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. In interview after interview, Gates acknowledged that meeting with Epstein was a “mistake,” often repeating that he regretted the association and that there was no philanthropic outcome from their discussions. Yet the explanations consistently raised more questions than they answered. Gates initially suggested the meetings were centered around global health and charitable ambitions, but reporting later revealed multiple in-person visits to Epstein's townhouse in New York, including at least one after his divorce announcement. The narrative that Epstein was simply a misguided gateway to philanthropic networking strained credibility, particularly given Epstein's well-known status as a convicted sex offender by the time many of these meetings occurred.What ultimately undermined Gates' attempts to contain the fallout was the shifting tone and evolving details across his public statements. In some interviews, he minimized the frequency of contact; in others, he admitted the meetings occurred several times. He framed the relationship as purely professional, yet he could not convincingly articulate what tangible benefit came from engaging Epstein at all. The repeated refrain of “it was a mistake” began to sound less like transparency and more like damage control. For critics, the issue was not simply that Gates met Epstein—it was that a billionaire with vast resources and global influence could not provide a clear, consistent account of why he chose to align, even briefly, with a man whose crimes were already public knowledge. The interviews, rather than resolving the controversy, reinforced a perception that the full story remains incomplete.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Over the past several years, Bill Gates has embarked on a media tour of sorts, sitting down with outlets like PBS, CNN, and other major networks in an effort to explain why he maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor. In interview after interview, Gates acknowledged that meeting with Epstein was a “mistake,” often repeating that he regretted the association and that there was no philanthropic outcome from their discussions. Yet the explanations consistently raised more questions than they answered.

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for tuning in and your continued support. This week, we bring you another installment of Semper Cinema in reviewing the documentary, The Last 600 Meters, detailing the battles of Fallujah and Najaf during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Released last year, The Last 600 Meters chronicles the two deadliest battles of the Iraq War, Najaf in the south against the Shi'a Madhi Militia and Fallujah in the west against Sunni insurgents. Both battles occurred in 2004 and the interviews for this documentary were recorded in 2007. Due to internal issues at PBS, many of which have been revealed to be political, it was shelved until last year. We mention this dynamic in our review, but mainly focus on the specifics of the film, such as the narrative style and cinematic art, and how well the filmmakers used these tools to tell the story. Another controversy surrounding the release of the film is its use of graphic combat footage, including the deaths of US service members, so we also dive into the ethics of depicting graphic imagery and the moral decisions that go into it when trying to be authentic in illustrating the savagery of war. Enjoy! The post #229: Semper Cinema – The Last 600 Meters first appeared on Marine Corps Association.

As James Garfield's surprise presidential campaign got underway, he knew he didn't have it in the bag. The Republican party was divided. The Democratic party was united. And there was some weirdo third-party candidate campaigning for an 8-hour workday. *I guess people don't wanna work anymore!?*The fact that many members of his party — including his own vice president — were, at best, mildly enthusiastic about his candidacy made his road to victory even less likely. And yet? A strange little man named Charles Guiteau campaigned hard for Garfield. He was convinced that he'd be rewarded for his efforts. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President,” by Candice MillardThe book, “Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield,” by Kenneth D. Ackerman“Murder of a President” documentary and additional resources from PBS.orgAre you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

A PBS documentary called the “Librarians” follows the story of librarians on the front lines of the national battle over restricting access to books that have race-related and LGBTQIA+ content. “All About Books” host Pat Leach talked with the film's director Kim Snyder and Martha Hickson a librarian featured in the show.

Comedy and radio legend Phil Proctor talks about the origin of the Firesign Theater, his love of radio, his many careers as an actor, reporter, writer, comedian, author, and how he made the New York, San Francisco, and LA scenes when there were scenes to make!  He also talks about his biography “Where's My Fortune Cookie” and how he almost died three times.  Let's see if he survives our podcast. Bio: Proctor is a founding member of the thrice-Grammy-nominated Firesign Theatre, one of Rolling Stone's “Thirty Greatest Acts of All Time” and whose archives were purchased by the Library of Congress. He's appeared on-and-off Broadway, toured the USSR with the Yale Russian Chorus and the US and Canada with Proctor & Bergman and the L.A. Guitar Quartet in Don Quixote. He has appeared in scores of commercials, audiobooks, video games, films and TV shows, receiving Theatre World, LA Weekly, LA Free Press and Drama Critics' awards, and the Norman Corwin Excellence in Audio trophy as well as a recent Emmy for the PBS-aired documentary Feast Your Ears: The Story of WHFS Radio. His voice credits include memorable characters in Academy Award-winning films for Pixar and Disney from A Bug's Life to Inside Out, the Drunken French Monkey in Dr. Dolittle, Dr. Vidic in Assassin's Creed, Simon Stagg in Batman: Arkham Knight, and Howard in the multi-Emmy-winning Rugrats, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has also added scores of voices to the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction series and appeared on Irish radio and live on stage with his late wife, Melinda Peterson, at the 77th Science Fiction Convention in Dublin. He was the announcer for 3 seasons of Big Brother and has a recurring role as Detective Polehaus on the long-running Adventures in Odyssey and can be seen in many old--time radio recreations at the Online Radio Theatre on YouTube.

Send a textProvidence State Representative David Morales joins Bartholomewtown to discuss his primary challenge against Mayor Brett Smiley. Morales is positioning his campaign as a grassroots, progressive alternative to the current administration — and recently released a detailed snow removal plan following widespread frustration with the city's response to the last major winter storm.We talk about what went wrong during the storm, what Morales says City Hall needs to change, and whether a movement-driven campaign can overcome the advantages of an incumbent mayor. Plus, how Morales is thinking about coalition-building, voter turnout, and whether Providence is ready for a Mamdani-style political upset.Support the show

Hey there -- if you subscribed to the Twofivesix podcast, we've made some changes to our focus. I'm working with museums, collections, galleries, and cultural orgs on the same big problems I used to help corporate clients with. Hope you enjoy! What does it actually take to exhibit game-based art in a museum? Beyond the romantic notion of "games as art" lies a complex reality of technical requirements, development timelines, and institutional infrastructure that most cultural organizations simply aren't prepared for.Today, I'm speaking with Theo Triantafyllidis, an artist who builds what he calls "performative systems where natural and synthetic intelligences rehearse their coexistence." Working with games, live simulations, performances, and installations, Theo creates darkly playful procedural worlds that turn phenomena like ecological collapse and networked desire into experiences that can be felt rather than verbally explained.Theo has exhibited at major institutions including the Whitney Museum, Centre Pompidou, and was part of the Venice Biennale's Hyper Pavilion. His work ranges from Pastoral, an intimate anti-game about a muscular orc running through an infinite hayfield, to Feral Metaverse, an ambitious eight-player multiplayer game with a custom medieval catapult rig that's been in development for over three years.In this conversation, we go deep on the practical realities of exhibiting interactive work: Why IT staff aren't the same as technical infrastructure. How institutions fund physical installations but not digital development, or vice versa. Why a game that takes two weeks to build might tour internationally while a three-year project struggles to find the right venue. And what it means when audiences bring their player psychology into the gallery space—that instinct to test boundaries and break systems that makes games fundamentally different from other art forms.If you're a cultural institution thinking about game-based programming, an artist navigating this landscape, or simply curious about what happens when the art world meets interactive media, this conversation offers a rare, unvarnished look at what it really takes to do this work well.(00:00) - The Infrastructure Gap: Why Museums Can't Show Interactive Work (00:43) - Theo Triantafyllidis on Building Performative Systems (01:30) - Beyond IT: What Game-Based Art Actually Requires (03:55) - The Funding Paradox: Digital vs. Physical Production (08:59) - Technical Realities: Maintenance, Testing, and Player Psychology (15:39) - Case Studies: From Two-Week Prototypes to Three-Year Developments (25:41) - Building Institutional Literacy for Game-Based Practice For more insights, signup for my newsletter.Jamin Warren founded Gameplayarts, an advisory that helps museums and cultural organizations engage with the world of gaming. He provides them with the research, strategy, and execution they need to reach gamers for the first–or millionth–time.

In this episode, we take a sharp, sarcastic deep dive into the latest "sundowner" antics coming out of the White House and the blatant economic backfire hitting the administration's own base. From 4:00 AM cowardice to the massive contrast in how America celebrates Black History Month, we're breaking down why "truly great men" don't have to tear others down to stand tall. The 4 AM "Red Flag": Why midnight tantrums aren't "strength"—they're a sign of failing health and an old man sundowning on a global stage. We discuss why his kids need to snatch the phone before the battery (and the legacy) hits zero. The Economic "Self-Own": A look at the reality behind the rhetoric. With groceries at 4x the price, record-high foreclosures, and health insurance premiums skyrocketing due to expired subsidies, we ask: who is this "greatness" actually for? The "Michelle" Metric: Poetic justice at the box office. Why is an immigrant documentary playing to empty seats and tumbleweeds, while Michelle Obama's Becoming is back at #1 six years later?

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode is Miles Spencer, the co-founder of an innovative AI start-up called Reflekta. A few weeks back, Mile's team reached out to me to say that they've enjoyed the conversations I've had with various types of storytellers…and how they especially liked how our conversations revealed the stories within the stories.   Miles has helped create over 1,100 jobs while founding, financing, building and exiting three digital media companies. Before doing that he spent time in venture capital, hosted a precursor to Shark Tank called MoneyHunt on PBS , led over 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea on kayak, and trekked 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia , Jordan and Syria. He also published a novel called  A Line in the Sand that ended up being an Amazon bestseller in the Middle East. We had an engaging conversation about his early inspirations, his professional path, and the philosophical considerations around ethical AI.
