PBS Digital Studios Provides Unique Learning Experiences
PBS Digital Studios is the public broadcaster’s digital arm that is successfully bringing the YouTube generation into the PBS world with 20 million views per month. Part of the PBS Digital Studio’s strategy is to create programming that was digital first and not so much about shortening existing broadcasts. Part of the success is by finding creatives who are already successful on YouTube or other online platforms, particularly in science, and exposing them to a wider audience—in some cases turning YouTube hobbyists into full-time PBS hosts.

“The Finest Hours” Out January 2016
THE FINEST HOURS I really enjoy movies based on actual events and the heroic action-thriller, “The Finest Hours” is the remarkable true story of the most daring rescue mission in the history of the Coast Guard. I can’t wait to see this movie and be on the edge of my seat I am sure! The film will transport audiences to the heart of the action, creating a fully-immersive cinematic experience on an epic scale. On February 18, 1952, a massive nor’easter struck New England, pummeling towns along the Eastern seaboard and wreaking havoc on the ships caught in its deadly path, including the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound…

Supporting #HopeForOurDaughters
Though I watched the new movie Suffragettes a few weeks back, it has really stuck with me. It has made me really think about and appreciate what our ancestors did to make the right to vote for women a reality. Many women fought and lost their lives, many were jailed and suffered so that women today could have the basic right to vote. It seems hard to believe that in some countries women are still fighting this battle. As part of the Suffragette’s movement, we have some interesting facts about firsts for women in armed forces, as well a special video this week called #HopeForOurDaughters that looks at injustices we must still overcome. A Suffragette Timeline:…

The Peanuts Movie Brings Back Memories
Ever since I’ve seen a preview for The Peanuts movie at a Knott’s Berry Farm event last year, I have been on the edge of my seat waiting to see this movie. I absolutely LOVE the entire crew and use to carry around a stuffed Snoopy as a kid. Because of my fascination with all things Peanuts, I’ve interviewed and featured Charles M. Schulz wife and his son Craig (who shared with me that he was the inspiration for Pigpen – shhh!). He shared this with me after I told him our (secret) nickname for my daughter is Pigpen. At pickup at school she usually looks like she rolled around in the dirt…

Prana Clothing Provides the Freedom to #JustBeYou
Since before the dawn of time, moms have enjoyed their athletic wear. Sounds like the opening of a rather interesting story. I’m kidding, but truthfully, on those days you just don’t have time to get dressed up or feel like it, there is nothing better than a comfortable but stylish outfit. I have tried so many different athletic brands over the years and the one I keep coming back to is Prana. Prana offers clothing that is comfortable for any type of lifestyle and activity. I really like the sweaters they offer and wore my last one until it was a ball of yarn. You could say it was a very…
