Connections Windows to the Wild Returns Outdoor Afro
Willem meets a group of hikers from Outdoor Afro, an organization that celebrates and inspires African-American leadership in nature. As they hike Tuckerman's Ravine, they honor Ona Judge.

In October of 2017, 82 year-old Dale Sanders became the oldest man to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail. Willem met Dale on the New Hampshire leg of his journey. Through personal videos and interviews, Dale shares his adventure, including camaraderie with his fellow hikers, unpredictable weather, and a run-in with a family of bears. It's a testament to the timeless wonder of the Appalachian Trail for hikers of all ages.

Articulate with Jim Cotter
Articulate is a different kind of arts program. It believes that art is for everyone and that creative expression is a basic human need. Every week host Jim Cotter talks to different artists from across the creative spectrum. From children's authors and modern composers to painters and sculptors, Cotter approaches artists as thinkers who reflect, and help shape, our understanding of the world.

January 2018
Your Values. Your NHPBS. As we ring in the New Year, we often resolve to lose the pounds we put on over the holidays, return to the gym, or reconnect with friends. We recently spoke with friends of New Hampshire PBS, Jennifer and Bruce Goodwin of Kingston, NH. Bruce recalls his elementary school teacher wheeling in the big black and white TV into the classroom to watch NHPBS. "I remember all the kids were excited," he said. "It was an education show on atoms. It was novel at the time, but it was also clear that this wasn't Saturday morning cartoons, this was something worth watching." These days Bruce and Jennifer enjoy watching mysteries, British shows, the NewsHour and nature programs. "The programs are enlightening," Jennifer said. "You know you can trust what you are watching." The Goodwins are Granite Society members and big fans of NHPBS. "There is something for everyone and it is accessible everywhere. Unlike commerical television, in which the driving force is profits and ratings, PBS is different. The programs are done well and done with respect with the viewer in mind," Bruce said. "PBS speaks to my personal values." With 2018 stretching out before us, our resolve to produce quality programs will remain steadfast. And as you look to the New Year, we hope that you resolve to support New Hampshire PBS just as our good friends, Bruce and Jennifer Goodwin do. Thank you all for your continued support.
