Meet the newest members of the KRCB team KRCB is pleased to introduce our three newest employees, underwriting sales representatives Mary Bishop and Cathy Slack, and Mark Prell, host for All Things Considered on Radio 91. A world traveler who has lived in Sicily, Oman and Japan, Mary comes to us with local sales experience in both print and radio. A lifelong fan of NPR and PBS (“I loved Upstairs, Downstairs and the Galloping Gourmet”), Bishop enjoys running, cooking and spending time with her eight year-old daughter. Cathy Slack is a proud 4th generation Santa Rosan and a busy singer who can be heard singing around the North Bay in three groups Stage Fright, Hott Spell—and in a yet-to-be-permanently-named duo. She comes to KRCB with a strong background in local radio, and a passion for working in her community with non-profits, and supporting public educa-tion. Not so coincidentally, Cathy has two children in Santa Rosa City Schools. Mark Prell has been a dedicated volunteer at KRCB-FM over the past year, holding down the hosting duties on Saturday mornings, and filling in most capably as needed during the weekday NPR newsmagazines as well. Now he has stepped in as our full-time local host for KRCB-FM’s afternoon line-up of Democracy Now!, Fresh Air and ATC, making good on his aspirations for a broadcasting career. Mark can also be heard Sunday evenings as part of the team that brings you Outbeat Salon.

KRCB in the community

Nancy DobbsPresident and CEO

Dear Member, Here at the station we have been spending a lot of time lately working on the con-cept of expanding our service to our local communities. A friend of the station recently suggested an adjustment to the regular concept of “network.” We should conceive of ourselves not as a part of a network but rather as providing and creating a network among local groups, using our on-air and on-line capacities to accomplish this. Perhaps we use radio and television to introduce folks to on-line communities which form around a program or a local band or a shared issue, offering everyone a chance to meet up with folks of similar interests and concerns. Connecting audiences, if you will. We, as a community, might reap remarkable and unanticipated results: Do we re-learn the concept of community involvement and engagement; do we become a community of learners and doers; do we consciously and purposefully put our collective attention to making the North Bay the best possible community? Certainly food for thought in the world of new media. I believe that KRCB—as our locally owned, locally controlled, locally programmed media resource—is a key element in achieving this potential. We’re lucky to have it, thanks to you!

Sincerely,

Sail the rivers of Europe with Burt Wolf and benefit KRCB! KRCB and Burt Wolf invite you to join in a wonderful adventure: cruise on one of the world’s most luxurious river boats and support your local public broadcasting station in a rare and truly delightful way! The 2010 European River Cruises offer a unique opportunity for a limited number of people to travel with Burt Wolf next summer, see the sights and visit the places where the television series, Burt Wolf Travels & Traditions, is filmed. Sail along the Rhine River through France, Germany and Hol-land with stops in Amsterdam, Cologne, Rudesheim, Heildelberg, and Strasbourg, or start in Paris with stops in Arles, (the capital of Provence), Avignon, and Burgundy with a finish in Nice on the French Riviera. Choose a Danube cruise that begins in Prague and goes on to Nuremberg, Regensburg, and Passau, with stops in Salzburg, and Vienna. Packed with special events, historical sights, and wine and food tastings, these experiences wouldn’t normally be available, but for supporters of KRCB, it’s all possible! River travel is a

hassle-free, worry-free way to see the world. You unpack just once, and then relax, as you’re off to the good times that each river cruise trip offers. To book your cruise or learn more about the 2010 European River Cruises, contact Burt Wolf Tours & Cruises LLC at 888-365-3443 or online at burtwolf.com. Find out how you can jump on board with other KRCB members and fellow travelers for a trip to remember!

Student to Citizen Series: Big Bucks, Big Pharma Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs

Big Bucks, Big Pharma pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is, manipulated and in some instances created for capital gain. Focusing on the industry’s marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceuti-cal advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry prac-tices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important ques-tions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being.Tuesday, January 12 at 9 pm

The Alexanders are Great! The Alexander String Quartet is most likely a familiar name in your chamber music lexicon.

Tune in to Sunday Classics on January 10th to hear Opus 18, #1, and then most weeks after that for the other fifteen, in chronological order. We will play one a week, skipping the opera weekends (usually the first Sunday of the month, see the opera schedule elsewhere in this issue), and the quartets will be played at 2 pm, in the middle of the show. Be sure to tune in early and catch the other extraordinary music that your Sunday Classics hosts choose for you. Sundays at noon

Opera Sunday schedule for 2010 As the New Year rolls inevitably in, it is, of course, time for a new list of operas for the coming year. Many familiar favorites will resound over the airwaves this year from Barber of Seville, Faust, and Aida to Salome and Götterdämmerung.

Somewhat lesser known operas include Pearl Fishers and Pique Dame (Bizet and Tchaikovsky, respectively), and David Carlson’s contemporary Anna Karenina. Our Mozart offering this year is opera seria with Mitridate. And to start the year off, we’ll listen to Il Trittico—the trio of one act operas by Puccini (Suor Angelica, Il Tabarro, and Gianni Schicci), so you’re really getting 14 operas this year! Tune in on the first Sunday of each month at noon for the operas. (As a note, the February and April operas will be on the second Sunday to accommodate the Santa Rosa Symphony broadcasts).

Literary WednesdaysJim Powell and Laura Walker on WordTemple This month on WordTemple, Jim Powell reads from Substrate, his first collection of poetry in 20 years, a book that examines the in-digenous habitat of Northern California, treating history as a kind of sediment. The title poem summons no less than 25 witnesses from oral and documentary history to focus on California history through the lens of poetry. Following Powell, Laura Walker reads poetry from swarm lure and rimertown/an atlas. Swarm lure is comprised of three different engagements with the idea of translation, while rimertown/an atlas is her take on a “poetic atlas” of the small town in which she grew up in North Carolina. You’ll also hear a recording of the late Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca playing piano in accompaniment to La Argentina singing Los Cuatro Muleres. Wednesday, January 20 at 7 pm

John promises personalized stories with humor, insight, and character. Check out the introductory hour of Keep Up Yer Arts, Wednesday January 27 at 7 pm.

Climate One: Conversations on Our Energy FutureJanuary 7 – What Does Science Have to Do with Climate Change? What risks does the changing climate pose to the global economy and how can we manage those risks? Rather than betting so much on a cap-and-trade regime for carbon pollution, climate scientist Stephen Schneider says policymakers should fund more research to invent our way to a greener economy. “Targets without teeth solve nothing,” adds Schneider.

January 14 – The Future of Cars and the Auto Industry Though the auto industry seemed on the brink of collapse, the recent Cash-for-Clunkers program arguably helped to jumpstart the car economy. But what does this really mean for cars and drivers today? Will the demand for smarter, cleaner models continue, or will people choose to skimp on driving altogether? Industry veteran James Lentz, President and COO of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, discusses the future of cars in America.

January 21 – Sun Up: Scaling Solar Power in California Solar power is surging and yet it is still a small part of California’s overall energy supply. How will the state’s plan calling for a third of all electricity to be from renewable sources by 2030 impact the growth of commercial and industrial solar? Will novel financing schemes and buyer’s clubs drive demand and make residential solar more accessible? Our panel of experts discusses how bright the future is for sun energy in the Golden State.

January 28 - King of Coal, Prince of Wind? With America’s largest deposits of coal and uranium, Wyoming sends massive amounts of energy to California and the rest of the country. Governor Dave Freudenthal is trying to chart a new path for an extraction state where half the people don’t believe global warming is real. He’s looking to cleaner ways of using coal and believes natural gas is a winner, for fueling transporta-tion or generating electricity. Wind power is also promising but getting it to market without trampling on endangered species and testy land-owners is a challenge. Can California technology and innovation help illuminate the way?

Asking The Really Big Questions Hosted by NPR’s Lynn Neary, The Really Big Questions considers the intersection of empirical science and the humanities and what that conversation can or cannot tell us about who we are and what we value: What is the nature of consciousness? How do we face death? How do emotions shape our worldview? What is the significance of religious experience? These questions have inspired great works of art, literature, and philosophy and are recur-rent themes in human history. They have also inspired scientific inquiry. Provocative new work in the sciences—such as evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and psychology—gives us a chance to have a broader discussion about human nature and human understanding, but science does not have all the answers; sometimes it just shows us how much we still don’t know.January 12 – How Do Emotions Shape Our Worldview? Emotions play a role in every minute of our lives, yet what exactly is an emotion? January 19 – What Is Consciousness? The quest to define consciousness has inspired philosophers and scientists for much ofhuman history. January 26 – How Do We Face Our Own Mortality? Death is a fact of life, an absolute and unavoidable certainty. And yet, death often comes as a shock, as if unexpected. Why?Tuesdays at 7 pm

Volunteer of the Month - Leigh Prezkop Leigh Prezkop, a senior Communications major at Sonoma State University had recently returned from a year of study abroad at the University of Uppsala, in Sweden when she applied for an internship at the KRCB. She was looking for a very hands-on internship, and working on our North Bay Report promised to be just that. While her internship involved some inter-viewing, Leigh’s primary main task was editing lengthy interviews into shorter segments for broadcast. Decisions about when and where to cut must be made carefully to preserve the integrity of what the interviewee is saying. Bruce Robinson, her advisor here at KRCB, certainly appreciated Leigh’s contributions. Because of tight daily deadlines, he needed someone who was a quick learner, an independent worker, and could grasp the essence of good reporting. “Leigh has a wonderful attitude and a great work ethic,” says Bruce, who was sorry to see her leave at the end of the semester. Leigh says she looked forward to coming to KRCB every day because she always learned something new about the community she lived in. Listening to the stories of people interviewed for the North Bay Report, Leigh was able to compare her experience in Sweden with what she saw happening locally. As she moves on toward graduation in May, Leigh plans to keep coming back to KRCB, as an enthusiastic (and well-trained) volunteer.

Born in 1563 into an age of religious and political strife, English composer and court musician John Dowland has for centuries captivated

remains arresting in its sim-plicity, spellbinding with mel-ancholy and joy. It is perhaps inevitable that Sting—one of today’s most acclaimed

But then Sandel presents three similar moral conundrums—each one artfully designed to make the decision increasingly complex. As students stand up to defend their conflicting choices, Sandel’s point is made. The assumptions be-hind our moral reasoning are often contradictory, and the question of what is right and what is wrong is not always black and white.

American Experience They were called “Black Bliz-

zards,” dark clouds reaching miles into the sky, churning millions of tons of dirt into torrents of destruction. For

ten years beginning in 1930, dust storms ravaged the parched and overplowed

southern plains, turning boun-tiful wheat fields into desert. Disease, hardship and death followed, yet the majority of people stayed on, steadfastly refusing to give up on the land and a way of life.

9:00 Masterpiece Classic: Cranford - Part 1 Based

on three serialized Elizabeth Gaskell novels, Cranford chronicles the absurdities and tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford during one extraordinary year. Cranford in the 1840s is a small Cheshire market town on the cusp of change. The railway is pushing its way relentlessly toward the town from Manchester, bring-ing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order.

11:00 Fifteen Legs Fifteen Legs documents a group of animal rights activists who are the

pioneers of a network to preserve the lives of domestic animals in America. The film explores the efforts by activists around the country to create no-kill animal shelters and develop volunteer transporta-tion networks intended to place sheltered animals into new homes. The film follows

Walker, a 10-month-old puppy, on a journey from an animal control center to a new home and family made possible by several volunteer animal transporters.

[repeats Tuesday at 1 pm] 9:00 Justice: What’s The Right

Thing to Do? Sandel introduc-es the principles of Utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham with a famous 19th century law case involving a ship-wrecked crew of four. After 19 days lost at sea, the captain decides to kill the cabin boy, the weakest amongst them, so they can feed on his blood and body to survive. The case leads to a debate among students about the moral validity of the Utilitarian theory of maximizing overall happi-ness—often summed up with the slogan “the greatest good for the greatest number.”

8:00 Nature: Drakensberg: Barrier of Spears The Drakensberg Mountains are Southern Africa’s Alps, rising more than 11,000 feet into the sky. But beneath their shimmering beauty lies an incredibly hostile environment for the surprising number of creatures that manage to live there. Each spring, drenching rains destroy the grasslands

at the base of the mountains, and those who would survive must climb straight up sheer cliffs of volcanic rock, through gauntlets of storms and snow, to reach the carpets of grass on the plateau. The baboons that make this astonishing annual journey may have the advantage of agility, but eland,

the world’s largest antelope, have long, spindly legs and heavy bodies, which make the climb all but unbelievable. All have babies at their sides while vultures circle overhead.

8:00 American Masters: Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women The author of Little Women is an almost universally recognized name. Her reputation as a morally upstanding New England spinster, reflecting the

conventional propriety of late 19th-century Concord, is firmly established. However, raised among reformers and Transcendentalists and skep-tics, the intellectual protege of Emerson and Hawthorne and Thoreau, Alcott was actually a free thinker with democratic ideals and progressive values about women—a worldly careerist of sorts. Most sur-prising is that she led, under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, a literary double life, undiscov-ered until the 1940s.

9:30 Legends of the Lake Leg-ends of the Lake looks at the beauty and history behind the mahogany exteriors of classic wooden boats. Set in scenic Lake Tahoe, this documentary addresses the passion wooden boat owners feel for their craft,

familial connections, and the legendary speed kings and hydroplane racers. The film includes the story of wooden boat Teaser’s legendary race against the fastest train of the time, the Twentieth Century Limited. Another recounts

owner Henry Kaiser’s decision to remodel his regular wooden

runabout, The Hornet II, in the style of Howard Hughes’ famous aluminum racer.

following Iran’s controversial presidential election this summer, a young woman named Neda Soltani was shot and killed on the streets of Tehran. Her death—filmed on a cameraphone, then uploaded to the web—quickly became an international out-rage, and Soltani became the

face of a powerful movement that threatened the hardline government’s hold on power. With the help of a unique net-work of correspondents in and out of the country, Frontline investigates the life and death of the woman whose image remains a potent symbol for those who want to keep the reform movement alive.

Raleigh, NC - Hour One 8:00 Seabiscuit: American

Experience He was boxy, with stumpy legs that wouldn’t completely straighten, a short

straggly tail and an ungainly gait, but though he didn’t look the part, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in

history. In the 1930s, when Americans longed to escape

the grim realities of Depres-sion-era life, four men turned Seabiscuit into a national hero.

They were his fabulously wealthy owner Charles How-ard, his famously silent and stubborn trainer Tom Smith, and the two hard-bitten, gifted jockeys who rode him to glory.

9:00 Masterpiece Classic: Cranford - Part 2 In episode two, as winter approaches, Cranford is beset by sorrows and struggles to re-gain its confidence. When Dr. Harri-son’s housekeeper discovers a leg of mutton has been stolen on the very same night that store owner Mr. Johnson is mugged, the ladies decide that a crime wave has hit Cranford.
