KQED’s ‘Deep Look’ Nature Series Springs into a New Season Deep Look, KQED’s award-winning nature and science series, kicks off its eighth season with an extraordinary mix of short videos featuring a new batch of unusual small animals. They include caterpillars that eat oak leaves, persimilis mites that rain down from drones and beach hoppers that devour seaweed. Launched in October 2014, the series is presented on the PBS Digital Studios YouTube channel and has more than 1.65 million subscribers and close to 280 million lifetime views, making it KQED’s most successful web video production. Deep Look’s videos are shot in ultra-HD (4K) and use macro cinematography and video microscopy to reveal small, hidden worlds in nature that humans rarely get to see or experience.
March 9: Aphids The bane of gardeners and farmers alike, aphids show up suddenly and take over, sucking the sap out of plants’ leaves. Female aphids clone themselves and give birth to live babies, who are already pregnant with the next generation. Oh, and they pay ants off for protection. But don’t worry, aphids do have a few choice enemies. March 23: Mexican Jumping Beans Often sold as novelty items, these beans are actually the seed capsules of a shrub that has been taken over by the tiny larvae of a gray moth. As they grow, the larvae shimmy around inside the capsule to stay in the shade and keep cool in the hot Mexican forests where they live. Deep Look is produced by KQED’s award-winning science team. The team recently won a Society of Professional Journalists Northern California Excellence in Journalism Award for Science, Environment and Health Reporting in the television/video category for videos about kidnapper ants, zombie flies, webspinners, tsetse flies and California floater mussels You can view (and subscribe to) the Deep Look YouTube channel at youtube.com/KQEDDeepLook, and also see the full video collection on our website: kqed.org/DeepLook.

Deep Look releases its videos about twice a month and will produce 20 new videos this year. Upcoming videos include:

Show Spotlight: ‘It’s Been a Minute’ with Sam Sanders If you’re a weekend KQED listener, It’s Been a Minute may already be part of your Saturday morning. Each week, host Sam Sanders interviews journalists, actors, musicians and listeners to get a deeper understanding of the news and popular culture. Recent shows include “The Lasting Power of Whitney Houston’s National Anthem,” “The Future of Fashion” and “After Trump, What’s Next for Fox News?” Sanders arrived on the KQED airwaves in May 2020, providing muchneeded levity and insight and bringing his charm and wit to conversations about politics, arts, culture and everything in between. Show topics range from the impact of the coronavirus on the fashion industry to the history of insurrections in the United States. As Sanders told Into, “I try to host a show that listeners can depend on for great conversation, quality entertainment, moving stories, and hopefully they walk away with a slightly clearer path forward.” Tune in to KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM on Saturdays at 10am to catch this sharp and incisive show.
PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Kelly Heigert, lead designer on KQED’s Creative team, what she recommends. Here are her picks. STARTER EPISODE
“Princess Diana Part 1: The Courtship”
In You’re Wrong About, journalists Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes do deep dives into phenomena and events from recent history to uncover what’s been miscast in the public’s imagination. And they do it with empathy, solid research and delightfully witty banter. The Princess Diana series paints an honest portrait of her life, including the impact of marrying into the royal family. STARTER EPISODE
“Breena Nuñez on Zines and Feeling Seen as an Afro-Latinx Comic Artist”
STARTER EPISODE
“Dolores, Not Lolita”
In Lolita Podcast, writer/comedian and illustrator Jamie Loftus examines one of the most famous and controversial pieces of literature with a critical feminist lens — from Nabokov’s original intention of a dark and disturbing cautionary tale into the various (mis)interpretations over the years. The intro episode reflects on the character Dolores Haze whose humanity is often overlooked when archetyped as “Lolita.”
KQ E D.O RG • M A RC H 2 0 2 1
In KQED’s Rightnowish, host Pendarvis Harshaw digs into life in the Bay Area now ... ish. In this episode, he has an inspiring and enlightening chat with cartoonist and self-publisher Breena Nuñez. They reflect on how her work has been informed by her Afro-Latinx heritage, her everyday struggles and joys (including having a partner who’s also an artist) and her deep affinity with Garfield.

Big news! After a hiatus, Downton Abbey on Masterpiece is back on Passport. All six seasons of the gargantuan hit series are available to KQED Passport members for streaming as of February 27. One of the most popular series that KQED has aired in years, the award-winning Downton has everything; love, ambition, heartbreak, hope, sweeping change and those unforgettable quotable moments from Dame Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess. The fictional Crawley family feels very real. We’re thrilled to welcome the show back home for KQED Passport viewers to watch, rewatch and relive the magic again. —Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming To get you Downton-excited, here are some choice quotes from the “sarwitty” (my word for sarcastic and witty) Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith): “Principles are like prayers; noble, of course, but awkward at a party.” Also, “I never answer any question more incriminating than whether or not I need a rug.”

‘Midsomer Murders’ Season 18 Slays with New Whodunit Stories True confession: My father was a private detective. He wasn't the glamorous type who solved murders, but an astute observer of more mundane events. Maybe because of that — or because of my writerly interest in complex, creative and initially confounding plots — I’m drawn to detective shows such as Midsomer Murders.
S AT U R D AY NIGHT MOVIE
North Country
In this series, the suspense is high, the gore is low and it can be tricky to figure out whodunit. For example, watching Midsomer Murders season 17, episode 2 “Murder by Magic,” I was pretty sure I knew who the murderer was early on, but the story took off in a completely unexpected dark direction I never would have suspected. Good writing. Now there’s a new season to love on Photo courtesy of American Public Television. KQED. Beginning on Wednesday, March 24, at 8pm on KQED Plus, we’ll air the first two episodes of Season 18. Starting the season off, a wealthy landowner kicks the bucket. His body goes missing and, in digging around for clues, the detectives find a tangle of secrets and lies. It’s true detective fun, and, frankly, missing this season would be (forgive me) criminal. —Ellyn Hament
Saturday, March 27, at 8pm on KQED 9 Who filed the first classaction sexual harassment lawsuit in the United States? Lois Jenson, a Minnesota miner and her coworkers. Charlize Theron and Frances McDormand star in the fictionalized story behind Jenson vs. Eveleth Taconite Company, a landmark lawsuit. Both actors were nominated for Academy Awards for this 2005 film.

DID YOU KNOW? AMERICAN AND BRITISH ENGLISH
Ever watch British shows and feel stumped by what they’re saying? Though we speak the same language, it doesn’t always feel that way. Here are some words used differently and a handy tip for understanding British accents.
MARCH PICKS
• Brits call it a jumper; Americans say sweater • Brits say fringe; Americans say bangs • Brits say crisps; Americans say chips Pro tip: If you’re having trouble understanding British accents on KQED shows, turn on the captions. Zing! Problem solved.
COMING IN APRIL
Hemingway: A Film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick Monday, April 5, at 8pm on KQED 9 Ernest Hemingway was a seminal American writer, author of The Sun Also Rises and other classics and a complicated man. In a new three-part, six-hour documentary, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick separate the person from the stories about him, and explore how he influenced American literature.

Explore ‘Rebels Girls’: The Stories of Unsung Women from Bay Area History Since March 2018, KQED Arts & Culture has been telling the stories of unsung women from history who helped shape today’s Bay Area. Started as a five-part series to honor Women’s History Month, Rebel Girls has since transformed into a monthly online and smart speaker series. The women featured in Rebel Girls are diverse in both background and pursuits. Recent figures include Tien Fuh Wu (right), who freed trafficked girls and women in Chinatown; Annie Burke, who fought to preserve her Native American heritage; and Elizabeth Thorn Scott Flood, a 19th-century teacher who upended her own life to ensure that Black children had access to education. The series has previously illuminated the stories of many women who shaped history across California, from nurses and philanthropists to writers and social justice activists. It's Women’s History Month again. What better time to up your knowledge of women’s roles in Bay Area history? If you haven’t seen It already, be sure to check out the series at kqed.org/rebelgirls. Also, test your knowledge of these larger-than-life women with a fun online quiz: bit.ly/RebelGirlsQuiz.
