H IGH S CHOOL Q UIZ S HOW

The Soldier—David, a former infantryman in Iraq with the US Army’s Third Platoon, Charlie Company, whose struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder and a “Less Than Honorable” discharge that denied him access to medical benefits were the subject of Frontline’s 2010 Peabody Award-winning documentary The Wounded Platoon (see page 10). “You’re trained not to think about it,” says David of the horrors he experienced during and after combat.

“You’re trained to simply do as you’re told.”

The Artist—Jason, who grew up surrounded by drugs, gangs and violence.

“There was a point where I looked out my window onto my street, where my neighbor had been shot, and I really didn’t see myself making it to 21,” says Jason.

The Activist—Kim, who at the age of 11 was diagnosed with juvenile glaucoma.

“As my vision loss progressed, my parents would have to describe what was happening, whispering at the movies,” Kim says. Angry theatergoers would tell them to hush. “We just stopped going to the movies altogether. That became something we just didn’t do.”

The Kid—Lev, who loves the Red Sox, and playing cello. “My grandmother had a cello in her house,” he says. “I always liked to just play around with it and pluck the strings.” Eventually, he started taking lessons when he was “around three and a month.”

The Mom—Elisa, whose son’s diagnosis of Asperger’s syndrome set her on a search for resources to help her family meet the challenge—and to help others understand. “When I stumbled on a phrase that said ‘Arthur introduces a new character with Asperger’s syndrome,’ in When Carl Met George (see page 3), my jaw just dropped,” recalls Elisa.

Five people whose lives were changed by WGBH…changed by programs you make possible through your annual membership. We’re sharing these stories with you on air, online (supportwgbh.org) and through a new iPad app available for free through iTunes. And we’d love to hear your stories! Share them with us at wgbh.org/changeyourworld/shareYourStory.cfm.

As always, thank you for watching, listening and supporting WGBH productions that truly make a difference.

* When Carl Met George will air in place of Caillou on the dates listed below. **The hour-long Dinosaur Train Big City will preempt some programs on the dates listed below.

Making Friends George is excited about spending time with his new friend, Carl, who seems to know all kinds of cool facts about trains and about…well, lots of things! Then George learns that Carl has Asperger’s syndrome— a form of autism that makes Carl see the world differently than most people. Can George and Carl remain good friends—and perhaps even learn from each other?

Arthur/When Carl Met George Tue, 8/2; Wed, 8/10; Thu, 8/18; Fri, 8/26 and Tue, 8/30 at 10:30am on WGBH 44

Adventures in the ‘Big City’ Join Buddy, the Pteranodon family and all their Theropod friends in a four-part adventure as they travel on the Dinosaur Train to Laramidia, the “Dinosaur Big City” for the Theropod Convention. At the convention, the kids reunite with Annie Tyrannosaurus and her parents Dolores and Boris; they all meet the multi-horned mayor, Mayor Kosmoceratops; and then Buddy and Tiny help King Cryolophosaurus overcome his fear of performing in front of his biggest audience ever!

First, detective Tukufu Zuberi tracks a scrap of metallic Mylar that could be one of America’s early satellites—balloons—in “Satelloon.” Then, in “Moon Museum,” Gwendolyn Wright investigates the notion that Andy Warhol’s art may be on the moon.

Finally, in “Space Boot,” Elyse Luray tries on a jury-rigged ski boot with a magnetic metal brick bolted to the bottom that may be one of the first prototypes for a NASA space boot.

When War Comes Home

Since the Iraq War began, arrests of soldiers in the city of Colorado Springs have tripled. At least 36 servicemen based at the nearby Army post of Fort Carson have committed suicide. And 14 Fort Carson soldiers have been charged or convicted in at least 11 killings.

Many of the most violent crimes involved men who had served in the same battalion in Iraq. Three of them came from a single platoon of infantrymen. Frontline tells the dark tale of the men of Third Platoon, Charlie Company, 1st battalion of the 506th infantry and how the war followed them home. It is a story of heroism, grief, vicious combat, depression, drugs, alcohol and brutal murder; an investigation into the Army’s mental health services; and a powerful portrait of what multiple tours and post-traumatic stress are doing to a generation of young American soldiers.

Stress Out!

The black mamba strikes with deadly precision, delivering venom packed with three different kinds of toxins. Without treatment, the mortality rate is 100 percent, the highest among all venomous snakes in the world. Until now, little has been known about the black mambas’ natural behavior in the wild. But in the tiny country of Swaziland in southern Africa, a team of herpetologists hopes its six-week study will change public perception of what team members feel is the world’s most misunderstood snake.

Nature/Black Mamba Wed, 8/3 at 8pm on WGBH 2 Every 48 years, the inhabitants of the remote Indian state of Mizoram suffer a horrendous ordeal known locally as mautam. An indigenous species of bamboo, blanketing 30 percent of Mizoram’s 8,100 square miles, blooms once every half-century, spurring an explosion in the rat population that feeds off the bamboo’s fruit. The rats run amok, destroying crops and precipitating a crippling famine throughout Mizoram. Nova investigates this botanical mystery.

Wed, 8/3 at 9pm on WGBH 2 Stress. It’s always been there to save our lives. It’s what made us run from predators and enabled us to take down prey. But today, humans are turning on that same stress response to deal with 30-year mortgages, difficult bosses, teenagers and traffic jams. Some of us are wallowing in corrosive hormones. For the first time, scientists reveal ways to measure that exposure. Stanford University neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky and National Geographic search for answers to why stress seems to be killing us.

From a land of long, dark winters comes Steam of Life, a moody, comic and moving study of Finnish men, as framed by the national obsession with the sauna. There, they come together to sweat out not only the grime of contemporary life, but also their grief, hopes, joys and memories. Beautifully and hauntingly shot, the acclaimed film provides a surprising glimpse into the lives of Finnish men and a remarkable depiction of the troubled and often reticent hearts of their contemporaries in the West.

Geology Meets Biology

People come to Yellowstone primarily because of the unusual thermal features and opportunities to view wildlife, often not realizing they are standing on one of the world’s largest active volcanoes. This film presents an interpretation of the sweeping geologic story of Yellowstone, from glaciation to mountain-building to the gigantic caldera of a volcano. Filmed over two years in all four seasons, Yellowstone delves deeply into the significance behind the scenery, exploring the bonds between the landscape and biology—how Yellowstone’s geology influences where life exists and how it evolves—and contemplating humankind’s relationship to the world’s first and most famous national park.

2 Nova Secrets Beneath the Ice. in 2002, an immense, 200 meter-thick ice shelf, the size of manhattan, collapsed into the ocean off the Antarctic Peninsula, shocking scientists and raising the alarming possibility that we may be heading toward an ice-free Antarctica—last seen a million years ago. that would raise world sea levels so high that new York City would be flooded up to the level of the statue of Liberty’s shoulders.

But could this really happen? is Antarctica’s surprising past a reliable guide to what may happen to our warming planet? to gather crucial evidence, Nova follows the most ambitious scientific project launched during the international Polar Year: a stateof-the-art drilling probe known as AndriLL. Penetrating more than a kilometer through the floating sea ice, AndriLL recovers evidence from the seabed that reveals details of climate and fauna from a time when dinosaurs and forests once thrived in Antarctica.

As the scientists grapple with the harshest conditions on earth, they discover astonishing and disturbing new 9pm

clues. Once thought to be locked in a solid deep freeze for the last 15 million years, it now looks like Antarctica’s ice has melted and frozen again dozens of times during that period. this discovery carries ominous implications for coastal cities around the globe.

Cosmic Murder

Oxford professor and amateur stargazer Andrew Crompton emerges from a church confessional, cryptically exclaiming that on Friday at 3:15, he’ll have an “excess of joy.” Later, Crompton is found dead at the foot of the stairs in the Oxford observatory.

The investigation draws Detective Inspector Lewis (Kevin Whately) and Detective Sergeant Hathaway (Laurence Fox) into the ethereal writings of a 17th-century astronomer and a modern-day circle of scientists and musicians, and their unexpected connections to the deceased. The cosmos aside, there’s a dark deception at the center of the case, one that Lewis and Hathaway won’t be able to fully comprehend until Friday at 3:15.

Radio Spotlight The Art of Storytelling When independent radio producer Jay Allison moved to Cape Cod in 1985, he realized that his new home was missing a public radio presence— so he founded one. WCAI, a service of WGBH, was born in 2000 and serves Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and the South Coast. Over the years, WCAI has developed its own sound, reflecting the voices of the communities it serves. In his 30+ year career as a radio producer and journalist, Allison has created hundreds of works—including documentaries, essays and series for national and international broadcast—and has won every major industry award, including six Peabody Awards, the duPont-Columbia Award and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Edward R. Murrow Award.

Allison and his team at Atlantic Public Media are currently working with the New York City storytelling group The Moth to produce The Moth Radio Hour, the Peabody Award-winning public radio series airing on 89.7 WGBH this summer. Allison recently chatted with WGBH’s Jennifer Goebel about how he got started in public radio and how telling stories connects people and communities.

Q A

How did you find your way to public radio?

It was the 70s. I met a guy at a party who said I should check out this thing called NPR, so I literally wandered in off the street—just walked right in. I felt like I had a right to be there because I was a citizen of the United States. Public radio was just forming its own identity and so was I, which was a great time for us to meet. I insinuated myself into the place as an independent producer, even though I didn’t know what an independent producer was. I borrowed gear, audiotape, razor blades [for splicing/editing], and a machine from a guy I met at the party and off I went. It was an amazing discovery to me that I could take a tape recorder and microphone and find out anything I wanted to in the whole world. Fast forward 30+ years, and most of my work now is about returning the favor of the loaned tape recorder to new people who care about the mission of public broadcasting.

Q A

What kinds of projects have you enjoyed the most?

One of the projects I’ve been working on for the past 10 years is Transom.org, a website that helps people tell their own stories on public radio. Another one is PRX.org, the Public Radio

Exchange, which helps get those stories on the air.

I’ve always been interested in having listeners create radio content, and used that concept in media projects like NPR’s Lost & Found Sound and This I Believe. Most of my work has been about bringing the citizen voice to public radio.

Q A

Why did you decide to start WCAI? I felt like this region needed its own service to reflect its own identity. A group of us rallied to create a station that sounded like Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and the South Coast, where we live. We asked WGBH to partner with us, and WGBH has been the champion for our local service and helped us put up the three transmitters—on Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and in Brewster.

Q A

What do you see as the role of public radio in a community like yours?

I think public radio pulls us all together and improves community by letting us know about each other. It introduces us to our neighbors. WCAI has an amazing team of talented staff and reporters, and they are entirely dedicated to serving their neighbors.

Q A

How does WCAI differ from other public radio stations?

The first interesting program choice we made was to introduce Sonic IDs: 30- to 60-second pieces of local people talking about their lives.

They air all day long and give our station a unique sound. Voices keep popping up, talking about the history of the place, how we feel in the winter or the day our father took a cow across Vineyard Sound in a sailboat. Listening to these, you get the feeling that “Wow, we all live here together and these are our stories”—that’s the definition of local public radio. (Listen to a sample of Sonic IDs at wgbh.org/wcai/voices.cfm.)

Q A

How did you get connected with The Moth?

I had just finished up the This I Believe project when I met the folks at The Moth, and we felt an immediate kinship. The Moth Radio Hour runs counter to most media, which gets sliced into tinier and tinier fragments. The average bite length in news reports is shortening all the time.

If you think about it, we started with telegraph messages, which had to be short, and now we

seem to be coming full circle with Twitter. But Moth stories are headed in the opposite direction.

We have 17-minute-long unedited stories told by one person. Most people would have said that’s ridiculous, no one’s going to listen to that. But they would be wrong—people actually line up for hours to attend live Moth events, and most of them are young. This phenomenon gives me hope.

Q A

With all the new technology, why is public radio still so successful?

You can still listen to the radio while you are doing something else. We’re all busy, but we can consume radio while we live our lives and while we drive our cars. Also, local public radio is where you are—it’s not coming in from a satellite or from some city far away, it’s connecting you to your environment. So many other systems disconnect you—they may connect you to the wider world, but they disconnect you from your place. As long as WCAI continues to provide a real reflection of the community, as long as it keeps introducing us to each other, and as long as it maintains a connection to its listeners that almost resembles friendship, I think our future is bright.

Tune in WCAI if you’re down on the Cape and Islands this summer: 90.1, 91.1 and 94.3, or listen online anytime at wgbh.org/wcai. Listen to The Moth Radio Hour in August on WGBH’s 89.7.

WGBH, Boston’s NPR® Station for News and Culture The World in Japan, Dealing with Disaster It’s been nearly five months since the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11. It was one of the worst disasters the country has ever faced, particularly because of the resulting nuclear meltdowns and release of radioactive materials at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The World’s Marco Werman traveled to northern Japan and spent almost two weeks interviewing officials,

industry professionals and the local people most affected by the disaster.

Q

You visited the northern Japanese village of Iitate, a city that did not suffer major earthquake damage but did show signs of unsafe radiation levels. While you were there, townspeople were told they had to evacuate. What was it like speaking to people there?

It was inspiring to see what home and community mean to people.

When you’re settled, and there’s no threat of having to flee, you take home for granted. And it was humbling to be so concerned about five hours of mild radiation exposure when these people had had to face it every day for almost three months.

A

Q A

You also visited the one of the most devastated areas of Japan, Ishinomaki. What was that like?

Surreal and sorrowful. I kept staring at the wreckage and devastation, and felt unable to take it all in. The closest thing I’d ever seen were pictures of Hiroshima. Ishinomaki’s port was flattened. People who had escaped on March 11 stood on the hill when the tsunami hit and watched as friends and homes were sucked instantly out to sea. I woke up the next morning after I visited the city, and the taste of the place was still in my mouth. It stayed there for several days.

24 Schedules, program info, playlists: wgbh.org/897

Q A

What is your impression of how the local population is dealing with the disaster?

Some are still in shock. Some have clear symptoms of PTSD. But they all have extraordinary dignity as they live out this temporary existence in the shelters. We must remember that these are communities with much the same standard of living as we have. They have strived like Americans to acquire some affluence. And then it all gets wiped out in a single afternoon.

They had a lot to lose. But the Japanese I met in the north, where the damage was the worst, are not feeling sorry for themselves. They’re trying to start again. And they’re getting a lot of help from volunteers from around Japan. That was very uplifting.

Q A

What is your big takeaway after visit- ing Japan?

Two things occur to me.

One, some Japanese are starting a national process of soul-searching, and beginning a discussion that I think is overdue here in the US. Several people I spoke with said that maybe Japan has drifted too far from its Buddhist moorings, that maybe the country doesn’t need to be so focused on mass production, mass consumption and mass waste. They told me that’s the reason they ended up with so many nuclear power plants, to provide the juice for their economy. And they’re ready to change.

The second thing is that The World tried something innovative in terms of reporting: we sent a host into the field to cover an unfolding story, and provided content not just for radio but also video and stills for online and broadcast. It changed the work flow of a reporting assignment. I was joined by videographer Emily Taguchi who fed The World video on a daily basis. That provided strong content for our online users, and a compelling reason for listeners to “see” the radio story after they heard it. It was a learning process, but a successful one that we will duplicate on future assignments.

All Classical Tanglewood Tales

Tanglewood. The very name evokes a kaleidoscope of images. Picnics on the lawn. Majestic pines. Hayfields— sometimes overflowing with cars. The picturesque village of Lenox. Sudden downpours. And, at the heart of it all, incredible, indelible music-making.

“There is no festival in the world that equals Tanglewood’s special combination of great musical art made in such a beautiful natural setting,” says Ben Roe, WGBH’s managing director for classical services. “Take a stroll through the grounds and you’ll hear echoes of music history with every footfall.” And that’s no exaggeration. This is the place, after all, where 14-year-old Midori famously made front-page headlines in her Tanglewood debut by calmly swapping her brokenstring violin with the concertmaster’s—not once, but twice—during a performance of Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade. Where Bernstein himself made his famous final conducting appearance in August of 1990, with a poignant performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. For Kurt Masur’s last concert as music director of the New York Philharmonic (yes, it happened at Tanglewood!) it was Beethoven’s Third. Or, just three years ago, the Beaux Arts Trio chose the beautiful confines of Seiji Ozawa Hall to cap the ensemble’s brilliant 53-year career with a farewell concert broadcast and webcast across the nation.

But Tanglewood isn’t just about farewells. It’s also been the site of some notable beginnings. Aaron Copland’s Third Symphony (sometimes called “The Great American Symphony”) was written at the festival in 1946. Roe remembers his own beginnings at the renowned venue. “The first time I came to Tanglewood as a broadcaster was for the opening of Seiji Ozawa Hall in the summer of 1994.” Adds Roe, “The BSO staff set my NPR crew up in the maintenance shed—and then told me that our temporary office was the same place where a young conducting student named Seiji Ozawa slept on the floor when he arrived at Tanglewood in 1960.”
