Over the past 50 years, the work of millions of women has transformed every aspect of American life. And yet that story never has been told, until now. this month WGBH is proud to bring you Makers: Women Who Make America (page 18), a broadcast and digital initiative that looks at the lives of exceptional women whose pioneering contributions continue to shape the world in which we live. “this project started eight years ago when i went to Gloria steinem in the hopes of doing a film on her life, and Gloria, in her egoless way, declined,” explains executive producer dyllan mcGee, who visited WGBH’s studios in november for a preview screening and discussion. steinem explained that her story was really part of a collective of stories. mcGee and her co-producers, Betsy West and Peter Kunhardt, went back to the drawing board and came up with the idea of a “living library” of video interviews with trailblazing women from all walks of life that would launch on the Web in advance of the broadcast and live well beyond it. One of those trailblazers is Kathrine Switzer, who back in 1967 was the first woman to run the Boston marathon as an oﬃcial entrant—she registered as K.v. switzer—five years before the Boston Athletic Association would finally open the race to women. switzer, who joined mcGee at the WGBH podium, recalled that moment when an enraged race oﬃcial physically tried to force her off the course. “i didn’t start out to be a feminist,” switzer says. “When Jock semple attacked me, it changed everything. By the time i finished the Boston marathon, i knew i wanted to help change the attitudes against women and to create opportunities for other women to run.” “i’m so happy that we’re finally hearing the stories and voices of women who make America,” says steinem, who is one of the project’s advisors as well as a featured subject. “We do what we see, not what we’re told, so an incomplete story of this country damages everyone. Makers will not only change our picture of the present, but release talent for the future.” expanding horizons. telling all our stories. Your generous annual support of WGBH is helping make a difference.

WGBH App of the Month

It’s Elemental

this month Nova’s Earth from Space (see page 13) gives us stunning new views of our planet. But just what are we looking at? What is earth and everything on it made of? While Nova’s new program provides the bigpicture view of the planet, one of its apps—Nova Elements for iPad— provides you with the tools you need to understand more about the naturally occurring elements that form the ingredients of everything in our world. the app, which was developed here at WGBH in conjunction with Nova’s Hunting the Elements program, takes the periodic table off the wall and puts it into users’ hands, bringing life to the world’s elements in colorful and dynamic ways. With it, you can explore an interactive periodic table, build elements from their particles, construct 3d rotating molecules and play a game hosted by The New York Times’ david Pogue. And you also can use it to watch the two-hour companion program. “Nova Elements turns the exploration of the elements into a game that is updated over time, letting users develop an understanding of what gives each element its unique properties, and revealing why the periodic table is organized in the way it is,” says WGBH’s Lauren Aguirre, Nova’s director of new media. the free app has topped 330,000 downloads, and Elements’ high quality has turned heads. The New Yorker recommended it, dubbing the

app a “digital Pick” on its Goings On blog, and itunes singled it out for distinction on several occasions: in the 2012 back-to-school campaign and as an Apple editor’s pick for one of 2012’s best apps for lifelong learning. “the app goes beyond the program on some of the science topics that are most fascinating, fun and fundamental to fans,” says Nova senior executive producer Paula Apsell, “in this case, exploring the elements and how they are the building blocks for people, planets and everything around us.” Find Nova Elements free in the App store on itunes.

For thousands of years, wolves hunted buffalo across the vast north American plains, until the westward settlement of the continent saw the virtual extinction of these widespread herds and their canid predators. though threatened, this ancient relationship was not lost altogether. it continues uninterrupted in one location: the northern edge of Canada’s central plains in a place called Wood Buffalo national Park. today, buffalo and wolves still engage in epic life-anddeath dramas across this northern land. their story is captured in this program recorded by a ﬁlmmaker who has followed them for more than 20 years.

The Big Picture

this groundbreaking two-hour special, produced in extensive consultation with nAsA scientists, reveals a spectacular new space-based vision of our planet. WGBH’s Nova takes data from earth-observing satellites and transforms it into dazzling visual sequences, each one exposing the intricate and surprising web of forces that sustains life on earth. see how dust blown from the sahara fertilizes the Amazon, how a vast submarine “waterfall” off Antarctica helps drive ocean currents around the world, and how the sun’s heating up of the southern Atlantic gives birth to a colossally powerful hurricane. From the microscopic world of water molecules vaporizing over the ocean to the magnetic ﬁeld that is bigger than earth itself, the show reveals the astonishing beauty and complexity of our dynamic planet.

The Mystery of Family

Filmmaker Doug Block had every reason to believe his parents’ 54-year marriage was a good one. so he wasn’t prepared when, just a few months after his mother’s unexpected death, his 83-year-old father, Mike, phoned to announce he was moving to Florida to live with “Kitty,” his secretary from 40 years before. 51 Birch Street chronicles Block’s unpredictable journey through the dramatic, life-changing events that follow. spanning 60 years and three generations, the ﬁlm weaves together hundreds of faded snapshots, 8mm home movies and two decades of verité footage to tell the tale of what can happen when fundamental assumptions about family are called into question.

Effecting Change

Whitney M. Young, Jr. was one of the most celebrated—and controversial—leaders of the civil rights era. Unique among black leaders, he took the fight directly to the powerful white elite, gaining allies in business and government, including three presidents. Young had the difficult tasks of calming the fears of white allies, relieving the doubts of fellow civil rights leaders, and responding to attacks from the militant Black Power movement. Learn about his accomplishments in this film that traces Young’s journey from segregated Kentucky to head of the national Urban League.

in response to the tragic shootings in newtown, Connecticut, WGBH brings you a week of special programs designed to add context, depth and nuance to the national conversation about gun violence in America. WGBH’s Frontline investigates Adam Lanza, the Connecticut shooter whose life remains largely a mystery, and explores how those in newtown are wrestling with the nation’s gun culture and laws. the following night, WGBH’s Nova turns an eye to whether science can help us understand these horriﬁc events, and provide clues about how to prevent them in the future. Other programs during the week include Guns USA, which traces the evolution of guns in America and the clash of cultures that reﬂect competing visions of our national identity, and The Path to Violence, which tells the story of how one program has helped schools detect problem behavior in advance. And throughout the week your favorite news programs—PBS NewsHour, Washington Week and Need to Know—will discuss pending legislation on access to guns and other issues related to this tragedy.

89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio A Call to Education

By Phil Redo Managing Director of 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio Education, the cornerstone of Boston, always has been at the heart of WGBH’s mission. This month, we’re pleased to share the news that 89.7 WGBH is launching a new higher-education desk to identify and report on the many issues affecting the future of higher education. As part of this effort, we will bring on board a dedicated lead reporter/correspondent and partner with, among others, the Forum for the Future of Higher Education, a non-profit community of academic leaders and scholars based at MIT. There never has been a better time to focus on education. Projections from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce suggest that by 2020, nearly two-thirds of all jobs available in the US will require a post-secondary education—and that our nation is nowhere near producing a workforce that can meet those demands. If not significantly narrowed, this projected gap will weaken our future economic competitiveness, threaten our national security, and jeopardize the fundamental concept that a strong democracy requires both a well-informed and well-educated citizenry. Our goal is to examine the many challenges that face the future of higher education, including economics and finance, new technologies, changing demographics, workplace demands, the role of universities here and abroad, and advances in cognitive and neuroscience that could lead to better teaching methods. We will explore these issues by telling compelling stories that connect the issues to their impact on all of us.

Virtually Real?

At this point in the 21st century, it’s nearly impossible to talk about community-building without talking about the Web, which has radically transformed the way people meet, establish connections, maintain relationships and fight for what they believe in. But often, when changes are discussed, the focus is either on pure enthusiasm about the possibilities, or anxiety about online connections replacing physical ones. In this episode of State of the ReUnion, host Al Letson demonstrates ways the virtual has turned into the real by exploring the Internet’s impact on community-building in people’s daily lives, where the Web’s effects are rarely solely positive or negative.

All That Is Irish

Classical New England Downton Abbey Roars into the ’20s By Benjamin K. Roe Managing Director of Classical Services

“Well, yes, as it is a waltz. I’m far too old for that awful foxtrot,” notes Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, as she gets up to dance with Thomas (the troubled valet) in last year’s season-ending episode of Downton Abbey on WGBH’s Masterpiece. We don’t yet know how Season 3 will play out, but whatever the outcome, you can safely assume that music will play an integral part to the drama, as it has from the very start: Downton Abbey’s worldwide fame is thanks in no small part to Scottish composer John Lunn’s Emmy Award-winning soundtrack, which manages to portray in a matter of seconds the sweep, grandeur and ominous undertones of the entire series. Beyond the modern soundtrack, the music of the Downton era has figured into some of the most poignant scenes in the series, such as the two-hanky moment when a missing-in-action Matthew Crawley returns to Downton right as Lady Mary Grantham and her sister Edith are singing the then-popular hit “If You Were the Only Girl (in the World).” And, yes, in a clever bit of foreshadowing, Captain Crawley and Lady Mary sing the last stanza as a duet. “If You Were the Only Girl” was indeed a hit in 1916, though the Dowager doubtless would have disapproved: It was originally a foxtrot! And as Season 3 of the series moves into the Roaring Twenties, Classical New England will extend its survey of the music of the 1920s into the new decade, both on air and in our studios. On Thursday, February 28, you’re invited to join us for a special event at WGBH: Britain in the 1920s: An Evening Inspired by Downton Abbey. The evening will feature the debut of the “Highclere Sinfonietta,” an ensemble tailor-made to reprise some of the most enchanting music of the era, including a song or two. And if you’re inclined to waltz, please be our guest, but be

mindful of the Countess’ s words to her dance partner’s invitation to try “the Black Bottom”: “Just keep me upright, and we’ll try to avoid it.” See page 2 for more information about WGBH’s Britain in the 1920s: An Evening Inspired by Downton Abbey.

A Month of Music from the Gardner By Benjamin K. Roe Managing Director of Classical Services

Perhaps the best description of Isabella Stewart Gardner’s personality came in a letter from her cousin: “You must have a double [personality], one devoted to society, music, admiration, and pearls, and the other sterner sister given to labor and duty: a kind of Aphrodite with a lining of Athene.” Certainly Gardner’s devotion to music has been a part of the fabric of her museum since its opening 110 years ago, on January 1, 1903, when the noted Boston arts patron invited her friends at the Boston Symphony Orchestra to perform at her Italian villa-turned-art museum in Boston’s fashionable Fenway neighborhood. A couple of decades later, the Gardner’s musical activities were formalized with the launch of a Sunday afternoon concert series in the museum’s elegant Tapestry Room. Those Gardner concerts soon became a staple of Boston’s concert life, frequently featuring members of the BSO in intimate chamber-music performances. Last year, the tradition of great music at the Gardner entered a new era with the opening of Calderwood Hall, the stunning new performance space that is the jewel in the crown of the museum’s $114 million renovation designed by noted architect Renzo Piano. Calderwood has been described as “Italian form blending with Japanese function,” a 300-seat “theatre in the square” that at once harkens back to an intimate Italian teatro communale opera house of the 18th century, yet boasts the cool angular lines and modern features that could only be of our own time, made of wood, brushed steel, and topped by a massive trapezoid of glass. This month Classical New England will celebrate the best of both the old and new traditions at the Gardner. Sunday afternoons, we’ll bring you performances from the acclaimed Sunday Concert Series from the new Calderwood Hall, expertly curated by artistic director Scott Nikrenz. These performances will feature such ensembles as A Far Cry, (the Gardner’s resident orchestra) the Borromeo String Quartet and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The series will kick off on February 3 with an encore presentation of the very first public concert from the new space: Classical New England’s January 2012 live broadcast featuring the Claremont Trio.

Symphonies We Love By Cheryl Willoughby Classical New England Music Director

There are symphonies about love, such as Karl Goldmark’s folksy Rustic Wedding Symphony, or Beethoven’s iconic ode to brotherly love, Symphony No. 9. And then there are the symphonies we love: you, me and every other appreciator of classical music we know. This month Classical New England invites you to play your part as we feature the Symphonies We Love. Which is your favorite? Do you have a special memory or some sentimental connection to a particular symphony? Do you go out of your way to experience live performances of your favorite? My own answers to the above questions are: Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony No. 9; yes, I have a special memory; and yes again that I go out of my way to explore live performances. In fact, the last two answers are related. When I was a young music student playing with the Denver Youth Symphony Orchestra, I studied privately with the principal horn player of the

And during the evenings, host James David Jacobs will revisit performances from WGBH’s vast archive of recorded concerts from the Gardner’s venerable Tapestry Room. Many of these concerts, not heard on the air in decades, will feature some of our region’s most storied performers, including former Boston Symphony concertmaster Joseph Silverstein, violinist Roman Totenberg, clarinetist Harold Wright, flutist Doriot Anthony Dwyer, and the Concord String Quartet. From the historic Tapestry Room in the original palazzo, to the futuristic design of Renzo Piano, join us for a month of music from the Gardner.

The Gardner’s Calderwood Hall

Denver (now Colorado) Symphony Orchestra. Once a year the principal players in the youth symphony joined the professional symphony in playing a large-scale work. My opportunity came in 1984 during the Denver Symphony’s golden anniversary season. The concert’s feature piece was Dvořák’s 9th and I had the immense privilege of playing the majestic fourhorn soli in the last movement—with my teacher and two of his colleagues to a full house at Boettcher Concert Hall. There are more recordings of Dvořák’s 9th Symphony in my personal collection now (14 to be exact) than any other single piece. I love every one of them for their own unique qualities. And I will always go out of my way to hear that symphony performed live because of that one spectacular chance I had to play it myself in concert. Dvořák’s 9th is my choice for Symphonies We Love. What’s yours, and why? Leave a comment for us on Facebook or Twitter, or drop us a note at classicalnewengland.org—and listen in all this month as we share the symphonies we love.

WCAI, Cape and Islands NPR Station Radio Launching Pad By Mindy Todd WCAI Managing Director for Editorial and Host

Interns have always played a vital role at WCAI, helping our small staff produce local programming while gaining valuable experience that has helped advance their careers in public radio. Jeremy Hobson, now host of Marketplace Morning Report, interned with us in the summers of 2000 and 2001. “I arrived at WCAI in the very early days,” Jeremy says, “The station had a startup quality: it was a powerhouse of creativity and a blank canvas.” Back then, WCAI was only broadcasting to Nantucket, which was a comfort to Jeremy, a fledgling host learning on the air. “If I screwed up, someone would literally have to take a boat [to Woods Hole] to complain to me about it in person,” he recalls. Phoebe Judge, currently a producer for American Public Media’s The Story, came to WCAI as an intern in the fall of 2006 and says it was a far different experience than she was anticipating.

“I thought that I would be doing menial tasks, but it wasn’t long before I was producing music beds, writing Web copy, drafting spots for the newscasts and being asked my opinion about different types of programming,” she says. “By the end of my time at WCAI, I had moved from being an intern to covering a three-week murder trial on Nantucket and filing spots for NPR.” Bradley Campbell, host of Weekend Edition and Environmental Reporter on Rhode Island Public Radio, interned at WCAI in the summer of 2010. He says it was a tremendous learning experience. “WCAI set me to work right away producing stories. I didn’t log tape or pick up anyone’s laundry as I had at a previous internship. I was out in the field, mic in hand, talking to people.” His goal was simple: to break into public radio. “I finished the internship with a portfolio of 10 stories, on-air reporting experience with Neal Conan at the Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star game, and even a feature on NPR’s All Things Considered. Not a bad gig at all.” It is not uncommon for our interns who move up in the world to hold a special place in their hearts for WCAI. “I’ll always think of WCAI as the place where I learned about the value of sound: the art of the craft,” Jeremy says, “and about how much fun it can be to make radio every day.”
