if, like me, you’re a fan of High School Quiz Show, you know we’re about to enter the final rounds of WGBH’s own version of march madness in celebration of academic achievement. A record-breaking 95 public high school teams from across the state showed up at our studios this past november to take our 100-question qualifying quiz. the top-scoring 16 teams advanced to compete in season 4 of our battle of the brains, hosted by Billy Costa. now we’re down to the final four. this month, they will face off in a blistering round of semifinals, with the winners going head to head for this year’s state championship and the chance to compete in the Governor’s Cup against new Hampshire Public television’s Granite State Challenge high school champions—our first interstate quiz show playoff. “the competition is fierce and fun,” says WGBH executive producer Hillary Wells, who has worked closely with the massachusetts department of elementary and secondary education (which has endorsed the series) and the Princeton review, to add more difficult and nuanced questions, many of them derived from the state’s Advanced Placement curriculum. But you don’t need to know AP calculus to join in the fun. WGBH is thrilled to expand our collaboration with the Princeton review to introduce our first play-along, real-time game that allows viewers to watch the show on television while playing along on their computer or mobile device. You’ll see the entire question and get to select from one of four possible answers. two-screen, real-time gaming has been a huge hit in the UK, and we’re excited to be one of the first public broadcasters to use it stateside to enhance the thrill of learning. shining a spotlight on our Commonwealth’s academic stars and celebrating their coaches, teachers, families and communities is what High School Quiz Show is all about. “i’ve been a teacher for 10 years,” says north Quincy High school coach mera Kriz, “and the experience we’ve had with High School Quiz Show has been hands-down the best in my career.” Let the final games begin…thanks to your annual support. And get ready for next year!

The Color of Identity

How linked is identity to physical appearance? Is the body somehow imprinted, like a passport getting stamped, by the place where one lives? Indelible Lalita explores the story of a woman whose resilient spirit survives her body’s transformation by cancer, heart failure and a dramatic loss of skin pigment. The ﬁlm follows Lalita as she migrates from Bombay to Paris to Montréal, and becomes completely white along the way. Lalita learns to let go of her body as the sign of her ethnicity and femininity, and ultimately realizes her physical form is just a temporary vessel for her spirit.

89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio Go Under the Radar with Callie Crossley News consumers face a barrage of headlines throughout the day. Yet amid the noise about the latest high-proﬁle scandal or heated political debate, many small but consequential stories are ignored. But now, WGBH’s awardwinning journalist Callie Crossley is exploring those overlooked pieces of important news on her new show Under the Radar, airing Sundays at 6:30pm on 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio. “It’s an opportunity for listeners to hear the stories they haven’t heard,” Callie says of the 30-minute program. “There are countless stories right here in Greater Boston that are signiﬁcant, yet remain untold. I bring them to a wider audience and give a platform to the perspectives that often are left out of the biggest stories.” Callie searches alternative presses and community news outlets for a variety of topics that engage underserved communities throughout Boston, and she leads a roundtable conversation with contributors from the Boston area and across New England.

The premiere episode in March took a closer look at Boston’s neighborhood councils, little-known associations created by Mayor Ray Flynn in the 1980s to advise on zoning and licensing issues. John Ruch, editor of the Jamaica Plain and Mission Hill Gazettes, talked about litigation that could give the councils recognition as ofﬁcial government bodies. And Sue O’Connell, co-publisher of the South End News and Bay Windows, discussed a debate over the proposed widening of Melnea Cass Boulevard. Callie’s skills as a broadcaster are familiar to fans of 89.7 and WGBH TV, where she regularly appears on Beat the Press and Basic Black. She also has a national proﬁle as a contributor to CNN’s Reliable Sources, PBS NewsHour and NPR’s The Takeaway. She has won a National Emmy, a Peabody, an Edward R. Murrow Award and an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award for her work in broadcast journalism. “Callie brings a unique perspective to every story,” says Phil Redo, managing director of 89.7 WGBH. “And her Under the Radar program further advances 89.7 WGBH’s unwavering commitment to the local and diverse stories that shape Boston and the surrounding communities.”
