gpb next magazine Hello friends, Can you believe it’s October already? How many people have said that exact phrase to you recently? If you’re anything like me, it’s pretty much on loop. Time flies when you’re counting down the days to the end of a global pandemic. But seriously, fall is my favorite time of year. While we see spring as a time for renewal and summer a time for vacations and sun — fall is that glorious time for nature to show off one last time just before it slips away for a winter slumber.

I grew up in the north Georgia mountains, and it wasn’t until I had time away that I truly understood the beauty this time of year brings there. If you time your drive through the mountains just right, you’ll see every color of the rainbow on display in a lush canopy of organic fireworks. But the beauty of fall doesn’t end there in Georgia — the plains across the central parts of our state are in full harvest mode and the unrivaled natural landscape of the Georgia coast just after the summer’s feverish humidity breaks is something special indeed.

At GPB, we love the fall because of the exciting new opportunities it brings us to entertain you. Shorter days call for television that warms you and takes you on a journey. Two of PBS’ hallmark series return with new episodes this fall — Call the Midwife and MASTERPIECE’S Grantchester. In the pages of this issue of GPB Next, you can read all about what’s in store for you as these new seasons begin. And, if all this fictional drama leaves you yearning for a true story, you can’t miss American Masters’ take on the life and times of living legend Rita Moreno. Rita Moreno: Just A Girl Who Decided to Go For It airs October 5. Of course, GPB is more than entertaining programming for grown-ups! Make sure to tune in with your children or grandchildren for the premiere of the new PBS Kids program Alma’s Way, beautifully illustrated on the cover of this issue and detailed herein.

This year, October brings us new episodes of Georgia Outdoors and a number of multi-episode stories to keep you company such as the four-part series American Veteran detailing the common experiences of service members across all the branches of the US military.

Secrets of the Dead returns too, exploring Magellan’s Crossing premiering October 20.

And if that’s not enough, don’t miss the story of The Universe, told only the way NOVA can, starting October 27.

As always, GPB Next doesn’t end with GPB’s TV offerings. Be sure to read up on Story Corps’ return to Georgia in our community engagement highlight, the exciting new resource from GPB Education Econ Express and the premiere of an intriguing new program on GPB Radio simply titled “q.”

All of this and so much more awaits you at GPB this October. Your kind and generous support has magically transformed into entertaining, educational and quality programming of all kinds that, paired with the natural splendor of fall, make Georgia a wonderful place to call home.

Thank you for being the most important part of what we do.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer

Thousands of meaningful conversations between people who know and care about one another have taken place through the StoryCorps Mobile Tour, and now you have the chance to participate.

nspired by her childhood growing up in the Bronx and her decades of experience playing “Maria” on Sesame Street —15-time Emmy Award winner Sonia Manzano has created Alma’s Way, a vibrant new animated series that gives children the

power to find answers to their problems, express their feelings and respect the unique perspectives of others.

Alma Rivera, a proud and confident Bronx-born, Puerto Rican girl inspired by Manzano, is determined to figure things out for herself. In every episode, the 6-year-old reaches a point where she’s not sure what to do next and must stop, think and process in her signature “Think Throughs.”

Manzano’s biggest hope as she introduces Alma and her community to the next generation is “that they see themselves in our society in a way that, as a child, I never could.”

“If you don’t see yourself reflected in society, you start to think you don’t exist.

That’s what I used to think, but I couldn’t articulate it. I used to wonder why I never saw anybody who looked like me or lived in a place like me.”

Manzano says it’s important to her for Alma’s Way to “be funny with sincere characters” — something she took away from her 44 years on Sesame Street.

“If you don’t see yourself reflected in society, you start to think you don’t exist.”

- Sonia Manzano

Sonia Manzano

Alma’s Way Creator

Eddie Mambo, who is Alma’s “primo-amigo” (cousin-friend), is inspired by her real-life cousin Eddie. In the show, Eddie Mambo has cerebral palsy, so he wears braces on his legs and uses crutches to walk long distances. He’s also known for his incredible dance moves, much like Manzano’s childhood friend who had polio and loved to dance.

Alma’s Way features traditional Puerto Rican music styles like Plena, Bomba and salsa, along with other Latino genres such as Cuban son and Colombian cumbia.

The original theme song was written and produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Bill Sherman.

“I met Lin-Manuel Miranda on Sesame Street. He had been on our show a few times, and he seemed like the perfect one to set up the show in two minutes,” Manzano said. “Bill Sherman did the music and did a lot of work with ‘In the Heights’ as well.

He did a great job blending styles and coming up with a cohesive mix of music.”

Manzano said she hopes Alma’s “Think-Through” moments — where she stops, listens and processes in the face of a tough decision — encourage kids everywhere to embrace their ability to think things out.

“I’m suggesting that kids practice thinking for themselves. Without these tools, they won’t be able to navigate our ever-changing world,” Manzano said.

We hope you'll enjoy the special insert included with this month's guide. Share the Alma's Way coloring sheets with a treasured child in your life. You can also find more resources and activities for the program at pbs.org/parents.

GPB EDUCATION ECON EXPRESS ENGAGES STUDENTS IN BASIC ECONOMIC CONCEPTS

“I wish I’d had access to this resource when I was in the classroom!”

- Dr. Chris Cannon

Assoc. Dir. of the Georgia Council on Economic Education

Covering 51 concepts, Econ Express serves as a general overview of the content typically taught in a high school “Intro to Economics” course, from the basics of scarcity and productive resources to more intricate topics like comparative advantage and monetary policy.

Econ Express provides an overview of economics that is accessible and easy to use. The “Learn” section provides a quick description of each concept at three different levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Following that is a “Practice” section with interactive activities that give teachers and students the opportunity to apply what they just learned. Finally, the “Assess” section challenges the learner with five multiple choice assessment questions.

To access Econ Express, go to gpb.org/econ-express.

“There are sites that have pieces of this, but there is no online source that has all of these features in one easy-to-use package,” noted Dr. Chris Cannon, Associate Director of the Georgia Council on Economic Education. He added, “I wish I’d had access to this resource when I was in the classroom!”

Econ Express was made possible by generous support from the Truist Foundation, the Callaway Foundation and the UPS Foundation.

CEO SPOTLIGHT GPB SERVES ALL COMMUNITIES

s our cover story reveals, we’re excited to add Alma’s Way to our weekday lineup of GPB Kids programs this month. Creator Sonia Manzano is beloved by generations of children for the sense of comfort and belonging she’s

provided in her role as Maria on Sesame Street.
