Celebrating Black History Month Music is central to our celebration of Black history this month, with new films and events exploring the role of song and dance in African American culture. Even before the remarkable new docuseries Gospel kicks off on February 12 (see page 7), we’re treated to Gospel Live! Presented By Henry Louis Gates Jr. on Friday, February 9, at 9pm on KQED 9, a concert that serves as a companion to the new Gospel series. Hosted by Gates, the host of Finding Your Roots, the celebration will honor the legacy of gospel music in America, with secular and spiritual artists performing their favorite classics. We expect to be on our feet, clapping along, and joining in the chorus, which will get us warmed up for KQED Live: Black History Month Dance Party on Friday, February 16, at 8pm on KQED 9. This will be a broadcast recording of the public event, KQED Live: Black History Month Dance Party, taking place at our San Francisco headquarters one week before (see page 2). Part of a new monthly segment that will highlight our live events, this month's broadcast will include dancer and culture-maker Traci Bartlow leading a short history of social dance, from Lindy Hop to hip-hop.

At KQED, one of the ways we honor and celebrate Black History Month is by curating documentaries, series and shows related to it. In the listings, which begin on page 8, you’ll see Black History Month shows highlighted in aubergine.

You can find these programs on KQED Public Television or by streaming on KQED Passport or the KQED App.

RADIO

The Music Drop “New year, new you” has always been a little too ambitious.

But new year, new playlist? That’s doable. KQED can help out with The Music Drop. The weekly segment is everything the mainstream music industry isn’t: consistently local, proudly eclectic and artist-focused. Each episode features an interview with a Bay Area musician and a little bit of their music. And we always pick artists with an upcoming show — so you can find new music and an excuse to fill that other resolution, the one about getting out more and supporting local artists. And if you dance at the show, well, that counts as exercise, which is at the top of a zillion New Year’s lists. Three resolutions and counting — not bad for a Sunday afternoon radio segment.

The Music Drop plays on KQED Sundays at 5:35pm.

Listen on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM or on the KQED App. —Devin Holt, On-Air, Digital Programming Assistant

PODCASTS

Bay Curious In this episode, you will discover how modern American craft brewing started right here in San Francisco under the stewardship of Anchor Brewing’s Fritz Maytag. In the midst of financial struggles in 1965, Maytag, a non-brewer but determined entrepreneur, stepped in to save the brewery from closure. Over the years, he transformed Anchor Brewing into a modern marvel, introducing new beers like Anchor Porter and Liberty Ale. Although the brewery closed its doors in 2023, its legacy lives on. You can find this episode of Bay Curious and KQED’s other popular podcasts — Forum, The California Report, The California Report Magazine, MindShift, Sold Out, The Bay, Perspectives, Political Breakdown and Rightnowish — on the KQED App or wherever you listen to podcasts!

KQ E D.O RG • F E B RUA RY 2 0 2 4

Did you know that KQED’s Bay Curious podcast has a whole episode devoted to Bay Area beer? Well, it’s true! Tune into “How Anchor Brewing Started the Craft Beer Craze” for a deep dive into the fascinating history of Anchor Brewing and learn how the Bay Area became the epicenter for the modern craft beer explosion. Host Olivia Allen-Price and producer Amanda Font go inside the brewery to explore how Anchor’s opensource ethos and commitment to creative experimentation set the standard for a community where brewers celebrate each other’s unique contributions.

NOVA: Building the Eiffel Tower

Tracing Black Spirituality in Sermon and Song: Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s New Docuseries From the blues to hip-hop, African Americans have been the driving force of sonic innovation for over a century. Musical styles come and go, but there is one sound that has been a constant source of strength, courage and wisdom: gospel. From executive producer, host and writer Henry Louis Gates Jr., this four-hour docuseries offers a look at the history of Black religious music and preaching, showcasing the symbiotic relationship of words and song and how it serves as an outlet for anger amidst oppression.

The series features interviews with notable names, including Dionne Warwick, U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and Rev. Otis Moss III, as well as awe-inspiring musical

performances of gospel favorites “Can’t Nobody Do Me Like Jesus” and “Total Praise.”

Describing gospel as “the beating heart and soul” of the African American experience, Gates explains that “from the Great Migration to today, the history of Black gospel music and preaching is one of constant movement.”

The documentary examines both the origin and evolution of gospel, and it delves into the impact of class, gender, cultural innovations and consumer technologies.

Today, gospel remains a source of cultural affirmation and sustenance, bringing an enduring tradition into the future.

Watch the first episode on Monday, February 12, at 9pm on KQED 9.

DID YOU KNOW? Bay Area Gospel Music History • In 1945, Mel and Betty Reid opened Reid’s Records in Berkeley, one of the nation’s first record stores focusing on Black-produced music.

• Oakland brothers Edwin and Walter Hawkins catapulted the gospel sound to a national audience in 1969 with their crossover hit “Oh Happy Day.”

COMING IN MARCH

Nolly on MASTERPIECE

Check your March issue for air dates and times Nolly reveals the story of Noele “Nolly” Gordon (Helena Bonham Carter), one of the most famous faces on British TV in the 1960s and ’70s. Her unceremonious firing from her hit daytime tv show at the height of her career was front-page news. A bold exploration of how the establishment turns on women who refuse to play by the rules, Nolly is an outrageously fun and wildly entertaining ride.

Love Story
