Phryne (pronounced FRY-nee) is a glamorous and thoroughly modern woman of the 1920s operating in a mostly male world. Our lady sleuth sashays through the back lanes and jazz clubs of Melbourne, fighting injustice with her her dagger-sharp wit and pearl-handled pistol close at hand — and, more often than not, a male admirer even closer. Ignoring the dangers all around her, she seems to glide through life determined to enjoy every moment. But beneath her devil-may-care attitude, Phryne hides ghosts from the past that continue to haunt her. Miss Phryne Fisher came to being in 1989 as the daring lady detective protagonist of a series of 18 crime books written by Australian author Kerry Greenwood. With an acquired taste for the best, but impeccable working-class origins, Phryne was an instant success with readers and shows no sign of hanging up her pistol or giving up her adventurous love life for just one man.

Everyone starts somewhere and hard work and ambition can lead to great things. That’s what Film School Shorts is all about, and KQED is proud to bring you this new show that proves big dreams can become big productions. Each week, Film School Shorts presents the work of the most talented film students around the country — quirky comedies, slice-of-life dramas and hard-hitting thrillers. These films have won awards (how does an Oscar sound?) and wowed audiences at some of the most acclaimed film festivals in the world: Cannes, Sundance, Toronto and South by Southwest. Right out of the gate, Film School Shorts’ premiere episode includes two brilliant short films about romance. Emily Carmichael’s The Hunter and the Swan Discuss Their Meeting explores
courtship by inviting us to have dinner with two couples, a hipster couple from Brooklyn and a mythical hunter and his girlfriend, who just happens to be a swan. Needless to say, things don’t go too well. And Luke Matheny’s Academy Award– winning God of Love introduces us to Raymond Goodfellow, a lounge-singing darts champion whose hopeless attempts at wooing bandmate Kelly Moran are solved by a mysterious, magical box of love darts . . . Or so he thinks. And that’s just the beginning. This season features some of the best short films from major institutions like NYU, Columbia University, UCLA, USC and the University of Texas. Look for Grainger David’s acclaimed dark parable The Chair, Kate Marks’ whimsical Pearl Was Here, and Angela Torres Camarena’s timely and dangerous Northeast Front.

TED Radio Hour host, Guy Raz.
TED Radio Hour airs Saturdays at 10pm on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM. Visit npr.org/ted to subscribe to the podcast and check out the archives.
Read more of the interview with Guy and find out what the subject of his TED Talk would be. It’s all online and only at kqed.org/onq-exclusives.
After three and a half years as host of NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered, Guy Raz couldn’t imagine leaving. But then something serendipitous happened. Just as he was taking a long, hard look at the challenges his WATC work schedule brought to his family life, along came the opportunity to host the TED Radio Hour. “I can’t think of anything I’d have left WATC for other than this,” he said. “I, like a billion other people, have been captivated by the amazing TED Talks. . . it was an opportunity that I would have been foolish to pass up.” When On Q’s editor spoke to Guy in February, he and his team were working feverishly to finish the first episode (which aired on KQED Public Radio on March 1), drinking 5-Hour Energy and not getting enough sleep. “It’s like being at a startup,” he said. “What I imagine a startup must be like.” He explained that one of the unique things about the show is that it’s a full partnership between NPR and TED. “We’ve never partnered with an organization in quite this way. Normally on [an NPR] show, we’d have an idea, we’d execute it, we’d mix it and put it on the air. With this, the TED folks are involved in our production process and

each of the episodes is a product of all of our thoughts. We have strong ideas and they have strong ideas and we have to hash it out. “For TED, although they do all kinds of partnerships, they haven’t done something quite like this. We’re mining their archives and we’re not just putting talks on the radio. We’re taking parts of talks and moving them around and bringing [TED speakers] onto the show. And we’re adding all kinds of production techniques and music. (The great thing is), we all want to push beyond our comfort levels and bring a whole different level of production to the show.” The process for creating an episode can take a variety of tacks. “Sometimes we find a talk that we’re blown away by and then try and create a theme around the ideas the talk presents. Or we might pose a question like, ‘What do babies think about?’ Then we’d search the archives for 10 or 15 talks that might be related and narrow them down.” In the coming weeks, listen for shows on topics like mankind’s place in the universe and space, how the sounds around us affect our behavior, and a provocative hour on why there is power in failure.

Culture Shock 1913 Wednesday, April 17, 8pm Many have called 1913 the true beginning of the 20th century culture. From New York City, where the first large-scale show of modern art alarmed viewers, to Vienna and Paris, where music by Schoenberg and Stravinsky sparked audience riots, it was a year of artistic upset and audience apoplexy. A hundred years later, WNYC’s Sara Fishko and guests tell the story of this “mad modernist” moment of sweeping change and the ways in which it mirrors our own uncertain age. America Abroad Religious Minorities in the Middle East (updated rebroadcast) Thursday, April 18, 8pm The Arab awakening has led to a rise in Islamist governments in the Middle East — raising concerns about the rights of religious minorities. The Middle East is largely Muslim, but it’s also the birthplace of Christianity, Judaism and many other religions. Many non-Muslims have left in recent decades, leaving relatively small populations of non-Muslims and Muslim minority sects.

Intelligence Squared U.S. The GOP: Seize the Center or Die Thursday, April 25, 8pm Failure to win key swing states in the 2012 presidential election and surprising losses in the House and Senate have prompted some reflection for Republicans. Was their embrace of small government, low taxes and a strong conservative stance on social issues at odds with shifting American demographics? Or did the GOP embrace the right platform, but the wrong candidates?

The rise of Islamist political parties in the Middle East raises questions about the rights and protections such minorities can expect or whether they can expect them at all. In this edition of America Abroad we’ll learn about the Jewish population in Tunisia and how they’re faring under a new Islamist government there. We’ll hear from Egypt about the Christian community and their reactions to a new president. And we’ll provide a primer on Alawites, the minority Muslim sect to which Syria’s president Bashar al-Assad belongs.
