PREMIERING SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16 FY25 ANNUAL REPORT INSIDE

Nov 2025

The Holidays Are the Perfect Time to Check In on Older Relatives The holidays give many Georgians the opportunity to spend time with older relatives.

It’s also a time when we may notice new symptoms from our older loved ones, which might include memory loss or cognitive decline.

If you notice these signs in someone you care about, it’s time to talk about getting a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Georgia Memory Net provides accurate and accelerated diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias at Memory Assessment Clinics around our state, and via telemedicine.

Don’t wait. Schedule a conversation with a Primary Care Provider to ask if a referral to GMN is the right next step.

A Word from President & CEO Bert Wesley Huffman

Dear Friends, I say this every year, but honestly, November is likely my favorite month. We begin to see the benefits of the cooling weather and the beautiful display the trees prepare for all year. And that’s certainly something spectacular, but beyond the leaves I appreciate November because it is a month where we focus on gratitude and thankfulness. Here at GPB we have so much to be thankful for this year – primarily you!

GPB and public media as an industry saw some challenges over the summer and while we are connected as a system, it was on each individual station to figure out exactly how we would weather the challenge. Here at GPB, we spent months scenario planning, focusing on a variety of potential outcomes. One of those potential outcomes was the total loss of federal funding this fiscal year, which as we know was the eventual outcome. I am so proud of this company for working through the challenges and finding innovative ways to both save and raise more money.

So far, we’ve seen a beautiful display of support from current and new donors alike.

That’s inspiring on so many levels! I know that together we can continue this grand experiment and be of even more value to the communities we serve across the state and the country. As you’ll see from our FY25 annual report section in this month’s guide, your support made it possible for GPB to bring so many wonderful things to Georgia – from programming and community engagement initiatives to public safety and educational resources. Thank you for being part of the solution and thank you for your continued commitment to GPB. I assure you there are wonderful things on the horizon.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman

The American Revolution: New Six-Part, 12-Hour Series Premieres Sunday, November 16

T

he American Revolution, a new six-part, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence, will primere Sunday, November 16 at 8 p.m. and air through

Thursday, November 20. The final episode will air Saturday, November 22.

Scheduled to broadcast in 2025 in conjunction with the 250th anniversary of the start of the war, the much-anticipated series directed and produced by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, has been in production for eight years.

The American Revolution examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe for people to imagine new and better futures for themselves, their nations and for humanity.

“The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history.”

- Ken Burns “The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history.” said Ken Burns. “We went from being subjects to inventing a new concept, citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, I’m hopeful that people throughout the country will come together to discuss the importance of this history and to appreciate even more what our ancestors did to secure our liberty and freedoms.”

Learn More About THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION Ken Burns, along with Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, visited GPB earlier this year for a special advance screening event to promote the documentary series. While they were here, the filmmakers sat down with GPB’s Peter Biello for an interview to discuss the process of making the film. You can listen to that interview during the broadcast of All Things Considered the week of Monday, November 10.

Series director/producers Sarah Botstein, Ken Burns and David Schmidt talk with Peter Biello at GPB.

Pictured: Attendees at the Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale screening.

A Glamorous Send-Off To One Of GPB’s Most Beloved Shows GPB said farewell to one of its most popular dramas last month with the sneak peek screening of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. On September 10, over 200 guests and staff attended the screening at AMC Phipps Plaza. Attendees came dressed in their Downton finest, enjoying hors d’oeuvres and custom cocktails made with Highclere Gin at Davio’s before coming together for one last hurrah with the Crawley family and staff. With photo booths, a costume contest, a trivia contest, prizes from our friends at Taste of Britain, and a sweet reminder of Dame Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess, it was a night no one will ever forget.

Chalktoberfest!

GPB spent an exciting weekend at the annual Chalktoberfest hosted by The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art in the historic Marietta Square October 11-12. The event features live music, vendors and professional chalk artists from across the country who bring the square alive with their colorful renderings. We were gratified to talk with the many donors and others who stopped by our booth to show their appreciation for our work. As a media sponsor of the festival, we were also paired with an artist whose work was displayed at the festival. Artist Carrie Dziabczenko created a powerful image of a cat and dinosaur inspired by the book Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman.

The Moth: Crafting Community One Story at a Time

By Rachel Buchman

I

f you subscribe to our email lists and follow us on social media, you might know that The Moth Mainstage is returning to Atlanta on December 4. Hosted by Jon Goode, The Moth Mainstage brings together professional storytellers for a curated event recorded for The

Moth Radio Hour and the accompanying podcast. But if you’ve never been before, it can be a bit daunting knowing what to expect: how many people attend shows by The Moth? And do you need to tell a story in order to attend? To find out, I ventured into downtown Atlanta for the September StorySLAM show to understand why local storytelling is so powerful.

Right from the start, I knew this would be an intimate event made up of a vibrant community: held at the Balzer Theater, the organizers were pleased to announce that this month was a sold out show to groups of attendees who excitedly chatted with fellow fans. That’s what producer Kirsten Staples shared with me: she’s spent two years volunteering with The Moth Atlanta and explained that many attendees come every month with their friends to either tell a story or listen to what’s being told.

And without listeners, The Moth wouldn’t be possible. The gist of the monthly StorySLAM events is this: unlike The Moth Mainstage, which is a curated event made up of coached, professional storytellers, The Moth’s monthly StorySLAMs are more open-mic competitions where local storytellers with varying degrees of experience battle for a spot in the annual The Moth Atlanta GrandSLAM. Prospective storytellers (commonly known as ‘tellers’) prepare a five minute story in advance, submitting their names into a hat upon arrival at the venue. Ten tellers are then drawn and invited to the stage to tell their story before they are judged by three groups of audience members who are encouraged to award points based on the teller’s ability to stay under the time limit, highlight the chosen monthly theme and explain a clear conflict and resolution.

The teller with the most points at the end of the evening wins the coveted GrandSLAM spot.

gpb.org

Participants gather for the StorySLAM. But the September show brought a twist to the formula: how do you judge for staying on theme when the theme for the month is themeless, and what will tellers choose to share with the audience? As it turns out, the stories varied - as much as their tellers did, showcasing perhaps the best aspect of being part of The Moth; a supportive, curious space where everyone is encouraged to both participate and learn about the world outside of their own. Over the course of the evening, I listened to stories about teenage adventures at rock concerts, how drugs and diseases reshaped lives and families, how a milestone birthday can bring feelings of both despair and hope, and how teachers both teach and learn from their students, to name a few. By the end, I had laughed and cried at stories that had touched my heart, walking away with a greater appreciation for Georgia stories.

The Moth Radio Hour airs on GPB’s statewide radio network Fridays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 11 a.m.

GPB | FY25 Annual Report

Atlanta’s CompassionCon festival last November was a great way to join two initiatives that promote social and emotional learning for children while celebrating compassion. In January, we celebrated public libraries with the Indie Lens Pop-Up film Free For All: The Public Library, at the historic Morton Theatre in Athens, where we worked with the Georgia Public Library Service and hosted a discussion with Georgia’s State Librarian.

Two notable highlights include a fun-filled evening with the effervescent chefs of America’s Test Kitchen and a screening and discussion of Henry Louis Gates’ film Great Migrations with performers and artists from the African Diaspora. In April, Antiques Roadshow stopped in Savannah, drawing people from all over with heirlooms and antiques to be appraised by experts. In May, filmmakers Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt showcased clips and discussed their new film The American Revolution, premiering this month. Other community events centered on Ken Burns’ Leonardo da Vinci and the Indie Lens Pop-Up film WE WANT THE FUNK! In collaboration with the Healthcare Ethics Consortium, Emory’s Center for Ethics and its School of Medicine, we hosted a screening and discussion of The Only Doctor, the story of a lone physician serving an entire county in rural Georgia. We also partnered with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to produce Journey of Hope, a film about the multifaceted world of mental health. A screening of the film was followed by a discussion with panelists featured in the film. On a lighter note, we offered unique opportunities to get active, such as at the Home Court screening, where attendees met professional volleyball players and played dodgeball at the Hapeville Recreation Center.

GPB partnered with MARTA to bring the PBS KIDS’ show Alma’s Way to downtown Atlanta with an “Explore Your City” event that also connected families to service organizations from across the city. The Sensory Friendly Family Meetup at the Metropolitan Library brought families together with community resources for children with autism and developmental delays, an event followed by a screening of Navigating Autism in Communities of Color with the Multiple Autisms Collective.

Georgia Public Safety As a major economic and transportation hub sporting a diverse geography and a range of natural and man-made hazards, Georgia needs a resilient public warning system that reaches all 11.1 million citizens and the millions who visit and travel through the state annually. GPB’s statewide digital, TV and radio communications network uniquely positions it to play a critical role in Georgia’s Emergency Management System.

GPB | FY25 Annual Report

GPB is a key partner to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) communications framework. We work year-round with numerous Georgia police departments, the FBI, GBI, Georgia Civil Air Patrol, Georgia State Patrol, National Weather Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and other agencies who rely on our communications towers to push critical messages out to you and your fellow citizens. Over the past year alone, our 4,000+ miles of fiber optic cable and emergency-ready communication tower stations have broadcast more than 4,000 Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages from federal, state and local authorities. That said, GPB’s robust network of broadcast towers ensures that even TVs with simple “rabbit ears” antenna or an emergency crank FM radio are all you need to get news and community updates.

Hurricane season is also top of mind each fall. By the time you read this, the 2025 hurricane season will be winding down (hopefully!). No matter what has transpired, rest assured that GPB was prepared. By mid-summer, GPB was busy monitoring the integrity of the network’s 30 transmitting towers, fiber optic cables and backup generators, refilling generator fuel stores, restocking supplies and testing disaster readiness plans to ensure that tower sites in Metro Atlanta and across the state were fully operational and ready to transmit regardless of any interruptions caused by weather.

Sidebar: A Public Safety Story In the two weeks following Hurricane Helene in Fall 2024, a wide area of rural, eastern Georgia was without power and cell phone service—as much as 21% of residents were without power and 24% of cell phone towers were out of service. During this time, GPB’s TV and radio broadcasts were some of the few sources of reliable and timely information available to Georgians in a wide swath from Valdosta to Augusta.

With coordination and support provided from GPB’s Atlanta headquarters, our engineers worked around the clock to restore services. While many commercial TV and radio stations and cell towers remained off the air, GPB became a lifeline for reliable updates.

Without their support, award-winning programs such as Georgia Outdoors, GPB News and GPB Education’s digital resources and outreach to schools would be significantly diminished.

Mama Stamberg Cranberry Relish During the Thanksgiving season, one prevailing tradition in public media is a unique interpretation of cranberry relish. For decades, fans have asked NPR Founding Mother Susan Stamberg to share her mother-in-law’s recipe, a concoction that, on paper, sounds questionable but tastes terrific. Over the years, NPR’s annual Thanksgiving tradition has been reviewed by Ocean Spray’s CEO, 2 former members of the band The Cranberries, and generations of NPR staff members. We hope you’ll give this relish a spot on your Thanksgiving table this year (and yes, it’s supposed to be Pepto-Bismol pink)!

Mama Stamberg’s Cranberry Relish Recipe 2 cups whole raw cranberries, washed 1 small onion ¾ cup sour cream ½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons horseradish from a jar (red is a bit milder than white) Grind the raw berries and onion together for a chunky consistency (not a puree). Add everything else and mix. Put in a plastic container and freeze.

Early Thanksgiving morning, move it from freezer to refrigerator compartment to thaw (it should still have some icy slivers left).

The relish will be thick, creamy, and shocking pink. It has a tangy taste that perks up turkey and gravy and is good on next-day turkey sandwiches and with roast beef. Makes 1 1/2 pints.

For more, visit NPR’s website for additional information and recipes, including Susan Stamberg’s favorite cranberry chutney. npr.org/2006/11/23/4176014/mama-stambergs-cranberry-relish-recipe
