Funny Woman

Comedian Barbara Parker (Gemma Arterton) became a massive success as a television comedy star under the stage name Sophie Straw. Just as it seems that everything she touches turned to gold, her latest sitcom fails.

Her relationship with her producer Dennis (Arsher Ali) is complicated by long-stalled divorce proceedings. Can she find magic again and bring her voice to the comedy world? Season One can also be streamed on GBH Passport.

Call the Midwife

Season 14 arrives later this month, bringing viewers into the 1970s, and the services of the nuns of Nonnatus House continue to be critical to the community. In the meantime, all eight episodes of Season 13 are available now on GBH Passport for streaming. Season 13 opened with a new group of pupils beginning their midwife training.

Never in American history has it been so easy to gamble legally. The creation of state lotteries brought gambling out of the shadows and into the government itself. This GBH News podcast follows the unlikely rise of America’s most successful lottery. It starts in 1970s Boston when state bureaucrats went toe to toe with mafia bookmakers in the struggle to launch the scratch ticket and examines whether the state should be in this business at all.

Birds are the only dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction caused by a killer asteroid 66 million years ago.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

Forgotten Hero: Walter White and the NAACP

This documentary traces the life of Walter White, one of the most influential Black men in midcentury America whose history is all-but-forgotten.

The leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from 1929 to 1955, White engaged Thurgood Marshall and Charles Hamilton Houston to challenge Jim Crow laws and was instrumental in major desegregation efforts, but his relationships with civil rights leaders became so conflicted that he spent his final days alienated from the movement.

The Disappearance of Miss Scott

Hazel Scott was the most famous jazz virtuoso of her time and the first African American to have her own television show.

She was a champion for racial equality before the official civil rights movement began. Yet Scott’s star dimmed when she was caught up in the 1950s Red Scare and blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief

It is estimated that between 1935 and 1945, the Nazis stole one-fifth of all the artwork in Europe. The majority was taken from Jewish families and other “undesirables.”

But that was just the beginning. Secret networks of curators and dealers — many of them Nazis like Bruno Lohse (the “Plunderer”) — made fortunes on the back of Nazi-looted art, continuing a decadeslong war crime that was never resolved.
