This year marks the 40th anniversary of Masterpiece, the most honored and longest-running prime-time drama series on American television. And WGBH’s Rebecca Eaton, Masterpiece executive producer, has put together what audiences and critics are hailing as the series’ best season ever. “We opened in January with Downton Abbey, a beautiful and riveting four-part miniseries set in Edwardian England, which explores the intertwined lives of servants and aristocrats on the eve of World War I,” Rebecca says. “Audiences couldn’t get enough of it…so much so that we’ve commissioned new episodes for 2012! “This month, we’re following up with the story of another upper-class family and its servants: an update of the beloved Upstairs Downstairs (see page 10), a series that helped put Masterpiece on the map. It’s now 1936, and a new couple is moving into 165 Eaton Place. The new series is charming, romantic, touching and fresh.” The stellar cast includes original series creators Dame Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh, who will reprise her Emmy Award-winning role as Rose, now promoted from parlor maid to housekeeper. How did Rebecca pull off this Masterpiece? “Well, there’s a great story,” she says. “It actually happened on a plane when Eileen Atkins, who starred in Masterpiece’s Cranford, was ﬂying from LA to London with Heidi Thomas, the writer of Cranford. They sat together for 12 hours. By the end of the ﬂight, the new Upstairs Downstairs had been hatched, with Heidi as the writer!” Masterpiece fans will be glad to know there are more ways than ever to experience your favorite dramas. More than 5,000 Twitter followers are gathering not just in front of their televisions, but also live online to talk about the broadcasts at twitter.com/masterpiecepbs. And more than 40,000 Facebook fans are using that social networking site (facebook.com/ masterpiecepbs) to discuss all things Masterpiece. As with all our major WGBH productions, you can watch Masterpiece online after the broadcast premiere at wgbh.org, using our video player. You also can experience Masterpiece up close and personal Saturday evening, April 9, when WGBH is hosting a 40th-Anniversary Celebration Party at our Brighton studios with special guests Alan Cumming (host of Masterpiece Mystery!), Rebecca and the entire Masterpiece team. For information and tickets, visit wgbh.org/masterpiece40thevent. “It takes wonderful scripts, timeless books and top talent to make great drama,” Rebecca says. It also takes you. We’re grateful for your generous membership support, which has allowed WGBH to create and deliver masterpieces for 40 outstanding years…with more to come.

George’s Home Run

While Marco tries to hit his first Little League home run, George gets to play scorekeeper. Unfortunately, he can’t remember the order of the numbers, so he isn’t getting it quite right. Marco helps out by using a catchy song to teach George how to count from 1 to 10. Then George returns the favor by agreeing to be a pinch runner for an injured Marco. Can a speedy little monkey run the bases fast enough for Marco to score his first home run? Curious George Fri, 4/1 at 8am on WGBH 2

Letting Go

this two-part series from award-winning filmmaker Helen Whitney examines the complexities and contradictions of forgiveness. the film covers a wide range of stories, from infidelity to genocide. Among them: the extraordinary forgiveness of the Amish after their neighbor killed nine young Amish girls; the shattering of a family after the mother abandons her children and returns seeking forgiveness; and the atonement of a ’60s radical for killing a Boston policeman. in addition, the film explores rwanda’s attempt to “legislate” forgiveness in the wake of its genocide, and south Africa’s ambitious attempts to reconcile the nation after apartheid through its truth and reconciliation Commission.

Our spacious suite at Newbury Court meant my husband Bill and I could give up our big house without leaving the Steinway Grand piano behind. As I was a former piano teacher and Bill, the Personnel Director of the BSO, music is central to our lives. Living at Newbury Court means we have more time to pursue our most precious interests and to be with family and friends. Whether it’s a workout in the gym or an evening at Symphony Hall, it’s a joy to come home to Newbury Court.

I have Newbury Court. Do you? For more information about the residential options at Newbury Court, call

Radio Spotlight On the Air with Callie Crossley Award-winning journalist Callie Crossley celebrates a year of The Callie Crossley Show on 89.7 WGBH. With her considerable skills, experience and perspective, Crossley has expanded the range of high-quality news and information available to the New England radio audience. Crossley’s show takes a “these days” approach, choosing issues, culture and voices that reﬂect our region but often get short shrift in commercial media. And she is having a great time doing it. Crossley recently sat down to talk with WGBH’s Jennifer Goebel about her ﬁrst year of live radio.

Q A

How has your ﬁrst year on the air been?

It’s been exciting and challenging. I know those words can sound clichéd, but they capture the totality of the experience. I rehearse before I go on the air, but even with that, sometimes the craziest things happen that we couldn’t have anticipated. I’ve had to learn to roll with it because it’s live. It’s been a hard year, but my team and I have learned a tremendous amount. At the beginning, people would ask me when my show was on, and I would say, “Every day,” and then they’d ask, “Every day?” Now I understand the question mark at the end.

Q A

How has the show’s local focus worked out in this ﬁrst year? It’s been exciting to see what can be done in a town that has a lot of media. We’ve been both surprised and pleased by how much material we’ve been able to ﬁnd. My mission of having very different voices from the ones that are typically chosen to speak on any subject has worked very well. We get compliments all the time from people who tell me they’ve never heard of the person who came on my show and found them very interesting. That is very gratifying. So it’s been a good year.

Q A

What’s the biggest challenge you and your team face? There have been times when we’ve had a perfectly booked week—great guests, great subjects, all our shows laid out and beautifully thematic—and I come in Monday morning to ﬁnd that guests have started dropping out. Someone is sick, someone can’t come and somebody is snowed in. It took us about six months to ﬁgure out what kinds of systems we need to have in place so that we can have the best possible response to these situations.

Q A

What are the some of the show’s highlights from the past year? We’ve had some really memorable interviews. I loved talking with foodie and former New York Times food critic Frank Bruni and with Isabel Wilkerson about her book The Warmth of Other Suns. We had a rollicking conversation with the Pie Ladies of Centerville, MA, who became famous after sending a chicken pot pie to Oprah (when she was on the Cape for Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s funeral). We also did a series of conversations called “The Genius Next Door” with four of the ﬁve McArthur Award winners in our area. And I hosted an intense conversation with City Councilor Ayanna Pressley and a Harvard student about the suit against the Cure Lounge for what the students describe as racist treatment. There have been so many great moments, it’s hard to pick just a few.

tions with one, two or even three guests and callers. When you take calls, you have to be able to pick up the threads of the conversation from wherever it might go. There are weeks when I have to read 500-page books in addition to preparing for all the other shows. I don’t believe in having people on if I haven’t read their books. And, sometimes I have to go out in the evenings to see performances that we’ll be featuring.

Q A

What’s a typical day like?

When I get to WGBH around 10am, I go right into the studio for pre-production. It may sound like I’ve had a leisurely morning, but actually I’ve been doing research at home since about 2am. I record show promos for the day and the week, and we pull the sound we use for our segments. At 11, I go to my ofﬁce to get all the material in place for the day’s show. Then at 12:30, I head back down the studio to do the show. I’m on from 1 to 2. Immediately afterwards, we do a debrieﬁng meeting until about 2:30. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I then head off to Harvard where I still work for the Neiman Foundation for Journalism. On the other days, I am here until about 5:30 working on upcoming programs with my producer. Then I go home, get something to eat, and start doing my homework for the next day. On Fridays, I tape three programs: my show, Beat the Press (Fridays at 7pm on WGBH 2) and Basic Black (Fridays at 7:30pm on WGBH 2), so I have three times the prep work.

Q A

How do you prepare for a show?

What do you enjoy most about doing the show? I enjoy hearing people say that they appreci ate both the vibe of the show and its focus. They like learning about local events and people that they otherwise wouldn’t have heard about. We have a measured pace so people have time to think about the topic and call in. I am very interested in what our callers have to say. One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t always tell who is listening—and we’ve had some surprising call-ins.

Q A

What are your goals for year two?

I hope to continue to build on what we’ve been doing, keep ﬁnding new voices, and tackle some bigger issues with more depth. I’d also like to do more with our website, and to continue using Facebook (facebook.com/ CallieCrossleyShow) and Twitter (@ CallieCrossley) to keep people connected with the show. Listen to The Callie Crossley Show weekdays at 1pm on 89.7 WGBH or online at wgbh.org, or download the podcast to listen anytime.

I do a lot of homework. I have to be on top of the subjects of the day to navigate conversaSchedules, program info, playlists: wgbh.org/897 23

WGBH, Boston’s NPR® Station for News and Culture Covering Climate… and Conﬂict By Peter Thomson, Environment Editor, The World

One of the biggest challenges in covering environmental issues for The World is capturing their complexity and context. That’s the nature of these stories—nothing related to the environment happens in isolation. Yet the connections between events and impacts can be subtle, indirect and often difficult to establish with certainty. A case in point: an environmental issue lurking deep behind this winter’s upheaval in the Middle East. There were many sparks that lit the fires of unrest in Tunisia and Egypt, but one was high food prices. Food price inflation in Egypt was greater than 20 percent last year. Food prices, in turn, are also affected by many things, but one is weather. In 2010, a series of droughts, heat waves and deluges around the world all led to poor harvests. Finally, extreme weather events themselves have many causes, but many experts believe that human-caused climate change is making them both more common and more extreme. In particular, many scientists are convinced that climate change contributed to last summer’s unprecedented heat wave in Russia. Russia lost

40 percent of its wheat harvest and banned exports, contributing to a global spike in wheat prices. Egypt, in turn, is the world’s largest importer of wheat, and so especially vulnerable to supply problems. Which brings us back to anger about high food prices there. So the dots connecting these political events with climate change are there, but those connections are murky, and part of a vast and immensely complex web of factors. To report on them risks sliding into conjecture and misinterpretation—that climate change somehow caused the turmoil. But not to report on them may be to miss an important part of the big picture, and fail to identify what even many in the US military see as a growing factor in conﬂicts around the world—what they call a “threat multiplier.” We chose to report on the possible links, with as many caveats as possible in a four-minute story. And we provided online links to resources that could help audience members dig deeper into the question. We think we made the right call. Others may have made the call differently. But that’s the nature of journalism, in which independent judgment plays as big a role as objective facts in helping to understand a very complex and murky world. Hear Peter Thomson’s report on the possible links between climate change and the January 2011 uprising in Egypt at theworld.org/2011/02/03/ food-prices-egypt-climate-change/.

A question that haunted Charles Darwin: If natural selection boils down to survival of the fittest, how do you explain why one creature might stick its neck out for another? The standard view of evolution is that living things are shaped by cold-hearted competition. And there is no doubt that today’s plants and animals carry the genetic legacy of ancestors who fought fiercely to survive and reproduce. But in this hour, hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich wonder whether there might also be a logic behind sharing, niceness, kindness…or even, self-sacrifice. Sun, 4/24 at 8pm

All Classical

99.5 All Classical is now also broadcast on 96.3 Back Bay/Beacon Hill

Off the Mic By James David Jacobs

One of the most rewarding aspects of classical music is also one of its most challenging characteristics: its relationship to time. Pop music was designed to tell its story in three minutes, and most forms of dance music are tailored to the physical endurance of those dancing to it. But in classical music, the listener experiences time according to the composer’s sense of flow, not the ticking of a clock. The convenience of the listener or of the radio programmer never enters the composer’s mind. But that very inconvenience helps make it special. Music exists in its own sense of time, different from that which we experience in our daily lives. Composers have myriad techniques for creating the flow and structure that define a work’s unique sense of time, and constantly strive to achieve a balance between making that flow unpredictable enough to be interesting while predictable enough to be lucid. You might think of the first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony as one example, when we ride along on the engine of a four-note motif. I can attest to the power of music to change the listener’s attitude towards time. There was a period in my life when I was a busker, playing

cello on the street with one or two other musicians. We didn’t use any sort of ampliﬁcation, so passers-by had to come in close to hear the music, creating a kind of oasis within the bustling city. We made many people late for their appointments because they just had to hear the end of a Bach trio sonata. I can also attest to the power of music to get to parts of the brain that other forms of communication can’t reach. The last time I saw my mother, a year before she died in the throes of Alzheimer’s disease, she couldn’t recognize any of her children and was unsure of her own name, but as soon as she heard a song she learned in her youth she would sing along. Talk about making people forget about time: through music, my mom forgot that she was supposed to be dying. As art forms go, classical music is messy; it doesn’t ﬁt in a physical or temporal frame. It’s like the trees among the skyscrapers, refusing to be tamed. But, if you think about it, the way we usually measure time— in minutes, seconds and hours—isn’t any more “real” than music is. In fact, maybe music is more accurate after all, since it reminds us that time isn’t really minutes and seconds on a clock, but a growing, ever-changing journey.

Liszt, Chopin and Grieg

Tonight, pianist Evgeny Kissin and guest conductor John Nelson reprise the very ﬁrst Piano Concerto ever presented by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It happened during the BSO’s second concert in October 1881, and it wasn’t by Beethoven, Brahms or fellow Russian Tchaikovsky. No, the honor fell to

then-38-year-old Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Kissin and Nelson team up to play both Norway’s most famous—as well as Chopin’s very ﬁrst—concertos, in a rare piano “double-header” from Symphony Hall. Sat, 4/2 at 7pm; Concert at 8pm

plays works inspired by the play by Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, as well as incidental music written for the play by Locke and Sibelius, and even songs by Robert Johnson that are thought to have been used in the original 1611 production at the Whitehall Palace.

Sunday Concert

For Palm Sunday, host James David Jacobs plays Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ. Haydn originally wrote this as a purely orchestral work, but it became so popular that arrangements of the work for solo piano, string quartet and as an oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra were also published, all either made by the composer himself or approved and edited by him. Today, Jacobs features the entire orchestral version, as well as three individual movements in one of their other guises. Sun, 4/17, 7am–11am

Benjamin Zander leads the Boston Philharmonic in the Symphony Concerto by Sergei Prokoﬁev, in a riveting performance with cellist Natalia Gutman. The afternoon also includes the only Boston Philharmonic performances of music from Wagner’s Die Meistersinger and Götterdämmerung. Sun, 4/24 at 3pm

Radio Online and On the Go How We Got Here Beyond The World’s daily broadcast on 89.7 WGBH we also have a several popular podcasts available at theworld.org, including reporter Jeb Sharp’s How We Got Here podcast. Sharp took time out of her busy reporting schedule to tell us about the podcast.

Q A

Where did the idea of the How We Got Here podcast come from? I cover all kinds of stories for The World, but I’m often most inter ested in the stories that dig into the history behind the news. We’re inundated with information these days, but not always with the context we need to understand it. When the podcast craze began in our newsroom two or three years ago I jumped at the chance to have a little more time and space to explore historical questions.

Q A

How do you ﬁnd stories to include in the podcast?

They’re all around us. Take the protests in Egypt earlier this year. On the main broadcast, we were reporting what was happening in real time in Tahrir Square and elsewhere. On the podcast, I was exploring the life and times of Hosni Mubarak, the history of the Egyptian military and the role of women in Egyptian protest movements right back to 1919. There’s always a How We Got Here tale to tell. You can listen and subscribe to How We Got Here and ﬁnd the rest of The World’s podcast at theworld.org/podcasts.
