NEWS + NOTES

Welcome to the New On KQED Devoted readers, please allow me to introduce you to the new On KQED (formerly On Q). We’ve spent the last eight months talking to you, asking how you use the magazine and learning how we could enhance your experience. Quite simply, you wanted a better guide to KQED’s TV offerings and that’s what you’ll find in this new version of the magazine – including five additional pages of TV Listings and much more!

Every change is a direct result of our conversations with you, and we look forward to your continued feedback as we further refine the magazine over the next few months. This member guide has seen a lot of changes since it debuted in 1955 as Focus Magazine, and we’re honored to be a part of shaping its future. Thank you for bringing us into your homes all these years!

Happy(ish) Holidays Airs Thursday, December 20, at 8pm on KQED 88.5 FM

You know how every day someone asks, “How are you?” And even if you’re totally dying inside, you just say “Fine,” so everyone can go about their day?

Terrible, Thanks for Asking is the opposite of that. For its second annual holiday special, the program's host Nora McInerny will bedazzle this oftendifficult time of year with humor, stories and the very real realness of reality.

McInerny will be joined by the memoirist Augusten Burroughs (Running with Scissors) for a conversation about holiday missteps. Plus more special guests and listeners will share stories about their worst holidays ever.

In the Dark: The Trial of Curtis Flowers Airs Wednesday, December 12, at 8pm on KQED 88.5 FM

PODCASTS The best podcasts to listen to right now, recommended by KQED Senior Editor for Podcasts Julie Caine. Don’t know what a podcast is? Not sure how to listen to one? Reach out to Julie Caine, jcaine@kqed.org!

STARTER EPISODE

“A Raised Arm and a Clenched Fist at the 1968 Olympics” The Bay is a narrative news podcast that comes out three times a week, based around the idea that all good stories start local. KQED host Devin Katayama talks with reporters and newsmakers to help us make sense of what’s happening in the Bay Area. One story. One conversation. One idea.

STARTER EPISODE

“Deal or No Deal”

Slow Burn is a seasonal narrative podcast that tells stories from recent political history that parallel what’s happening now. Season one dug into Watergate, and season two explores Bill Clinton’s impeachment.

STARTER EPISODE

“The Good Guy”

Believed, a limited series podcast from Michigan Radio and NPR, tells the story of Larry Nassar, the gymnastics coach accused by more than 500 women and girls of sexual abuse.

Listen via Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Stitcher, the NPR One app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Curtis Flowers, a black man, has been tried six times for the same crime — a quadruple murder in a small Mississippi town. The white prosecutor was determined to have him executed. Witnesses against him testified falsely. Expert testimony relied on junk science. And the prosecutor systematically struck black potential jurors from the jury pool, ensuring that Flowers was always tried by juries that were mostly or entirely white. APM Reports’ investigative series In the Dark spent a year in Mississippi to uncover this story of power and race that continues to unfold – next in the U.S. Supreme Court.

NOVA: Apollo’s Daring Mission

NOVA tells the in-depth story of the Apollo program’s riskiest mission: a 16-week race to beat the Soviets and send three men in a tiny space capsule to, around and back from the moon – before 1968 came to a close. To mark the 50th anniversary of this historic mission, Apollo 8’s astronauts, Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders, reconvene and tell the story through a fascinating and untapped prism: the incredible science, extraordinary engineering feats and huge technological advances that enabled them to go where no one had ever gone before.
