Come Through with Rebecca Carroll

Older and Overlooked in Wildfire Country

Airs Saturdays in August at 9pm The United States is at the beginning of a reckoning.

Protests against police brutality continue nationwide and anti-racist activists are demanding change. Companies and institutions are being called upon to examine their roots in white supremacy and their complicity in upholding racist systems. And individual people are looking inward at their own biases and the ways in which they’ve been complicit in racism, too. It’s a time for hard truths and hard conversations about race, and how it seeps into every aspect of society and life. Join host Rebecca Carroll for this fivepart series where she’ll hold essential conversations about race at this pivotal moment.

Guests include Issa Rae, Don Lemon, Gabrielle Union, and Brittany Packnett Cunningham.

Airs August 10-14 at 6:22am and 8:22am California is ill-prepared to protect the lives of the growing population of elderly people who live in high-risk wildfire areas and the COVID-19 pandemic is making emergency preparedness even more difficult. Older and Overlooked in Wildfire Country is a KQED five-part radio and online series that takes an in-depth look at who’s vulnerable to the hazard of wildfire in long-term care homes and how counties and facilities are coping with that threat during a global pandemic. Using public records, our reporters analyzed more than eight thousand California nursing homes and assistedliving facilities for wildfire risk to determine how prepared long-term care homes are for disasters. The series is also available online at kqed.org/wildfires.

ENDEAVOUR: COURTESY OF

Some of the most powerful films I’ve ever seen are available to stream now in PBS’ curated Race in America collection.

With content from filmmakers including Stanley Nelson and Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., the collection includes Tell Them We Are Rising; The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross; and Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, I highly recommend Gates’ Reconstruction: America After the Civil War, a four-part series. It explores the transformative years when the nation struggled to rebuild itself in the face of profound loss. It also focuses on how African Americans forged a new, more equal place in American social, economic and political life only to face the backlash of segregation, white supremacy and institutionalized discrimination, whose legacy persists today. — Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming

British Sleuth Show Endeavour on Masterpiece Is Back for Season 7

AUGUST PICKS

I love British detective shows because they often leave out the gobs of gratuitous gore and violence you tend to see in American detective series. I’m no wimp; I’m just more partial to whodunit and why whodunit dunit, especially if it’s clever and plot-twisty.

That’s one of the reasons I’m a fan of Endeavour on Masterpiece, a prequel to Inspector Morse, which was reportedly viewed by 85 percent of the British public, including the queen. Endeavour takes us back in time to Morse’s earlier life (this time in 1970). He’s a quirky, brainy loner who loves opera, classical music and ale. Working in Oxford alongside Detective Inspector Thursday, Morse chases murderers and solves crimes — in a most British sleuthy sort of way.

Season 7 kicks off with Morse at a Venice (where else?) opera house as the 1970 new year begins. There’s a murder in Oxford, Thursday is on it and Morse heads back to help him.

Old friendships are strained and new ones formed. In Episode 2, two rival gangs clash.

And in Episode 3, Morse investigates what appears to be a freak accident at a college, or is it? Catch Episode 1 on Sunday, August 9, at 9pm on KQED 9. If you’d rather binge all of Season 7 and you’re a KQED Passport member, you can stream the whole season the night it premiers on broadcast. —Ellyn Hament

Bletchley Circle – San Francisco Monday, August 10, at 8:45 on KQED Plus A period piece set during the 1950s, this show features expert female codebreakers who worked together during WWll. In this episode, Millie and Jean travel to our City by the Bay after learning about a murder that’s chillingly similar to one of a wartime colleague.

DID YOU KNOW? • Kate Warne was an American law enforcement officer believed to be the first female detective in 1856.

• In 1916, Georgia Ann Robinson reportedly became the first Black female police officer at the Los Angeles Police department; possibly the first in the U.S. She investigated juvenile and homicide cases and devoted her life to fighting against segregation and for women's welfare.

Head to Hawaii, before the attack on Pearl Harbor, to see the entire epic story of From Here to Eternity. This 1953 Academy Award-winning film stars Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, Deborah Kerr and Burt Lanchaster.

A Place to Call Home: Season Three Finale

Tuesday, August 25, at 8:55pm on KQED Plus Tensions run high at Ash Park in the Season 3 series finale of this Australian period piece. An argument sends Anna home to her family, Douglas serves up an ultimatum, and a revelation about the baby sets off a chain of events with devastating consequences.

MANAGING EDITOR

KQED’s New Member Information Policy KQED has updated its membership list policy, which outlines the use of our list while ensuring our active control in safeguarding against unauthorized use.

While the policy hasn’t changed our practice of exchanging your name with other nonprofits, KQED’s participation in cooperative databases to identify best prospects for new members as well as reactivation of former members is new.

By participating, you may receive fewer solicitations without jeopardizing critical revenue support for KQED programming.

As always, we value your contribution and understand if you don’t want to participate in either of these programs.

If you’d like to opt out of list exchange or cooperative database activity, please contact Member Services at 415-553-2150 or email member@kqed.org and we’ll update your account information to reflect your preferences. You can find the new policy online at kqed.org/information-policy.
