A program guide for members of Prairie Public Broadcasting April 2014

INSIDE ANIMAL MINDS We all have gazed into a creature’s eyes and wondered: What is it thinking about? What does it really know?

Now, NOVA is revealing hard evidence about how animals understand the world around them, uncovering their remarkable problem-solving abilities and exploring the complexity of their powers of communication and even their emotions.

The three-part series Inside Animal Minds airs April 9, 16, and 23 at 8 pm CT.

Radio Features Farewell Carl Kasell After waking up (well) before dawn for 30 years and flying every week to Chicago for the past 15, Carl Kasell is ready for some serious R&R and has announced he’s stepping down this spring after a five-decade career in broadcasting. Carl will record his final broadcast for Wait Wait…

Don’t Tell Me! this spring.

Carl’s relationship with public radio audiences dates back to his 30 years as the serious and stable newscaster for NPR’s Morning Edition. In 1998 he was recruited to provide gravitas to NPR’s new newsquiz, where his title, Official Judge and Scorekeeper, belied his key role as the show’s straight man.

In retirement, Carl will become Scorekeeper Emeritus of Wait Wait…

Don’t Tell Me!, and continue to record custom voice mail greetings for the show’s lucky winners—and to occasionally appear in the program. Thanks to the long-standing and much-coveted prize, more than 2,200 people have Kasell’s voice on their home answering machines and cell phones—where he’s performed everything from “What’s New Pussycat” to “Rapper’s Delight.”

After recording so many messages for others, it’s time we record a few for him. You are invited to leave our prized Official Judge and Scorekeeper voice mails by calling 1-888Wait-Wait (1-888-924-8924; select the second option). Please join us in thanking Carl for making such an indelible mark on public radio, and wish him a well-earned retirement.

A lesson in excellence: Doug Hamilton is helping students transform their understanding of news A group of North Dakota students is reporting, problem-solving, synthesizing information, and investigating important topics—using journalism as a form of learning—with the PBS NewsHour Student Reporting Lab. The students from Turtle Mountain Community High School are producing student-generated news video reports with mentoring from Prairie Public’s Main Street host Doug Hamilton, and with guidance from their chemistry and forensic teacher Renee Aalund.

The project includes a news literacy/ digital media curriculum and online collaborative space designed to build a foundation of civic engagement, and spark a life-long interest in current events. See the reports at www.studentreportinglabs.com.

April Television Highlights Standup comedians who landed sitcoms (such as Bob Newhart), TV doctors and nurses, standout comedy actors, and the people who broke the color barrier on television are the subjects explored when Pioneers of Television returns this month with inside stories from some of our most beloved television stars. New! Tuesdays at 7 pm CT, beginning April 15 Ruben Salazar: Man in the Middle—A Voces Special Presentation examines the life and mysterious death of the pioneering Mexican-American journalist. Killed by a law enforcement officer in 1970, Salazar became an instant martyr to the Latino community—which had often criticized his reporting. Featuring material from recently released files, the program removes Salazar from the glare of myth and martyrdom. New! Tuesday, April 29, 8 pm CT

Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty marks the choreographer’s return to the music of Tchaikovsky. The Great Performances production begins at the height of the fin de siècle epoch when fairies and vampires fed the gothic imagination, and it ends in the modern day—in a world Beauty finds more mysterious than any fairy tale. Bourne’s haunting new scenario is a romance for all ages. New! Friday, April 25, 8:30 pm CT

In honor of Earth Day, American Masters presents the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement in A Fierce Green Fire, which spans 50 years of grassroots and global activism. Narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Ashley Judd, Van Jones, and Isabel Allende, the film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and has won acclaim worldwide. New! Tuesday, April 22, 8 pm CT

In The Address, Ken Burns tells the story of a tiny school where each year the students are encouraged to memorize and recite the Gettysburg Address. The students, boys ages 11-17, face a range of personal, academic, and social challenges, yet they are motivated and engaged by the stirring words Lincoln delivered 150 years earlier—the speech that would go on to embolden the Union cause. New! Tuesday, April 15, 8 pm CT

The Bletchley Circle returns for a second season with two new British murder mysteries— each in two parts. These four ordinary women with the extraordinary ability to break codes—a skill honed during World War II when they worked undercover at the United Kingdom’s decryption establishment—use their skills to solve crimes in post-war London. New! Sundays at 10 pm CT beginning April 13

April Television Highlights James Levine conducts Robert Carsen’s acclaimed production of Falstaff, the first new Great Performances at the Met production of Verdi’s final comic masterpiece since 1964.

Ambrogio Maestri sings the role of the blustery Sir John Falstaff opposite a marvelous cast that includes Lisette Oropesa, Angela Meade, Stephanie Blythe, Jennifer Johnson Cano, Paolo Fanale, and Franco Vassallo.

New! Sunday, April 13, 1 pm CT This is your opportunity to experience Black Like Me, the 1964 film based on the nonfiction book of the same name by journalist John Howard Griffin. The story, hailed as an “essential document of contemporary American life,” describes his six-week experience traveling through racially segregated southern states as a black man.

New! Tuesday, April 8, 7 pm CT How did the human body become the amazing machine it is today?

Based on the best-selling book by Neil Shubin, Your Inner Fish, a three-part series, travels from Africa to the Arctic Circle to uncover the 3.5 billion year history of the human body— and how a colorful cast of ancient characters made us who we are today. New! Wednesdays at 9 pm CT beginning April 9

Amazing prosthetics made possible by the latest engineering and technology can provide just what disabled animals need, and scientists are finding that innovations created in the process are benefitting both animals and humans. Meet these inspiring animals and the remarkable individuals whose work has helped them live their lives again as Nature explores My Bionic Pet. New! Wednesday, April 9, 7 pm CT Patina Miller, recent Tony Award winner for “Pippin” on Broadway, is a fresh new face and emerging artist. Her first concert special from Live from Lincoln Center showcases her powerhouse voice in a wide range of music, from classic R&B to Broadway’s best.

New! Wednesday, April 2, 7 pm CT Florence, Italy, gave rise to some of the world’s most celebrated artists, architects, and scientists, including Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, and Galileo.

Yet, little is known of the city’s trailblazing female artists.

Invisible Women: Forgotten Artists of Florence sheds light on the lives and works of these largely forgotten Renaissance-era painters, revealing the “hidden half” of one of the world’s most beloved art cities.

New! Sunday, April 13, 3:30 pm CT

In the ‘olden days,’ Prairie Public hosted televised auctions—a strategy that worked well in its time. Regional celebrities volunteered as on-air auctioneers to help raise funds for the fledgling television station. Pictured above is North Dakota U.S. Senator Quentin Burdick, with Miss Fargo as his assistant, taking bids on a case of motor oil, a Sunmark transistor portable phonograph valued at $25, and a television set.

The “Electric Country Auction” photo (on the right) demonstrates the

times, with hairstyles reminiscent of the ’70s and a sign that indicates that Prairie Public was still growing and was identified in those days as “Channel 13.” Signs behind the announcer show that Sigma Nu fraternity was donating four hours of labor to the highest bidder at a value of $5.

Stay tuned for more bits of history throughout this year as we celebrate 50 years of television that entertains, but also educates, informs, and inspires.
