American Waste Management: What Can Be Done?

In Search of the Quarter-Life Crisis

Airs Wednesday, June 3, at 8pm on KQED 88.5 FM When China banned importing foreign recyclables, many Americans learned that recycling is not a tidy, closed process. The overabundance of waste is a global problem and waste management requires everyone’s efforts.

We’ll visit one of the biggest landfills in the U.S. to discuss how our country handles waste. We’ll also look at creative solutions for waste management, highlighting The Landfill Orchestra in Paraguay that performs concerts on musical instruments made from plastic waste to raise awareness of the global problem.

And we’ll examine successful waste management in Sweden, where they handle most of their own waste and also import it from other countries.

Airs Wednesday, June 17, at 8pm on KQED 88.5 FM Whether you’re a millennial or Gen Z-er, or you have one in your life, you know that these generations are constantly questioning society’s expectations. “Because that’s the way it is” just doesn’t satisfy their inquiring minds. Could this be why the “quarter-life crisis” has become a global phenomenon? We’ll hear young people’s perspectives worldwide about conflicting expectations and pressures, and their experiences during their quarter-life crises.

We’ll also hear from experts researching the phenomenon, ask whether today’s millennials are more vulnerable to it than past generations and hear some words of wisdom on how to handle the turmoil.

PODCASTS

Criminal, from Radiotopia, is not your average true crime podcast. Beyond the act of crime itself, they explore forensics, justice, policing and often very odd circumstances.

It seems odd to say this in the same sentence, but I love Mae West and Toni Morrison.

They were both trailblazers. Their stories, and those of other groundbreaking women, are featured this summer as PBS honors the centennial of women’s right to vote.

Mae West is known for her bawdy movies and one-liners, but there’s more to her than you may know. A smart, powerful woman who publicly embraced female sexuality early on, she was also a playwright who had a successful play on Broadway and was a screenwriter.

Her risqué films were subjected to the Motion Picture Production Code, which regulated the industry. Her witty double entendres were one way she sometimes skirted censorship.

Mae West: Dirty Blonde airs on American Masters on Tuesday, June 16, at 8pm on KQED 9.

The New York Times called it “irresistible,” People Magazine hailed it as “addictive” and it was one of the most popular programs KQED has aired in years. Along with millions of other viewers, I fell in love with Downton Abbey, the award-winning series from Julian Fellowes, as we followed the Granthams and their servants through sweeping change, scandals, love, ambitions, heartbreak and hope. Attending some of KQED’s early events with the cast is one of my lifetime highlights. The series was truly special and I was happy to watch it over and over on broadcast and on KQED Passport. The series expires from the Passport library on June 30, along with other favorites, including The Manners of Downton Abbey, but you still have time! Log on and start streaming all six seasons of Downtown Abbey now to say goodbye to all of our friends at Downton.

Toni Morrison was an author, playwright, professor, critic and editor whose poetic depictions of Black America were portrayed in lauded novels including Beloved, The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon. She was the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and also won a Pulitzer Prize, a Presidential Medal of Freedom and many other honors. She fought censorship, too, when one of her books was banned at a high school. Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am airs on American Masters on Tuesday, June 23, at 8pm on KQED 9. —Ellyn Hament
