T
his may seem like a trick question: Is more screen time for kids a good thing? The non-tricky answer:Yes, when it involves quality educational programming. That’s what PBS Kids always has been about. And on Jan. 16 it is getting easier for parents, grandparents, teachers and other caregivers to make sure that whatever the hour, the screen time kids spend is good screen time. It’s WGCU’s free 24/7 PBS Kids TV channel, making educational – and fun! – content available to Southwest Florida families whenever they want it. At press time, WGCU was working with cable providers to determine channel numbers. WGCU will post channel number information at wgcu.org as soon as it is available. If that screen time question still seems tricky, consider this. Recent recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics emphasize that the quality of the media kids interact with, rather than the quantity, is what is important. When media is developed responsibly and thoughtfully, it can make a big impact on children’s education, and when parents are engaged, kids learn even more. The AAP actually recommends that parents watch educational TV with their kids. And the group of doctors went so far as to say all that glitters is not educational media, but adults can count on Sesame Workshop and PBS Kids to consistently deliver the quality that does make media educational. So now parents and grandparents can pull up a couch and watch guilt-free, because there are studies to back up the AAP’s claims about how important their participation is. One recently conducted by Texas Tech University found that PBS Kids’ series Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood helped kids learn social skills such as empathy, recognizing emotions and confidence. When adults talked to kids about what they saw, impacts of the lessons were even greater. Expanded hours of educational programming for kids also means that learning need not stop when the dinner hour arrives. Previously, kids’ programming ended in the afternoon. Now, an adult can be preparing dinner while a child is watching TV and feel secure that the shows are appropriate and educational. Especially if that adult can pop in and interact with the child now and then, while the water boils or the biscuits bake. After all, multiple surveys show that parents trust PBS Kids. Survey Sampling International found in January 2016 that PBS Kids is considered the No. 1 educational media brand for children, using a telephone survey of 1,000 adults 18 and older, nationwide. The same survey found that adults overwhelmingly believe PBS not only models positive social and emotional behavior for children, but also helps prepare children for school and life, helping them to learn reading, math and social skills. What’s more, PBS Kids programming is free, besides being the highest quality, most educational entertainment available. That means it’s good for kids no matter where they live or how large or small the family’s budget. PBS stations reach more children from lower income families than any other kids’ TV network. That means no child is left behind. n

WE
humans are thought to be the products of nurture as well as nature, shaped by our environments as well as our gene codes. Great Performances takes a literal look at those environmental factors with a new series titled Landmarks Live in Concert. A planned eight episodes will feature popular performers in concert in places they believe to have shaped their careers and influenced their music. In addition, drummer Chad Smith of The Red Hot Chili Peppers will serve as show host and conduct oneon-one interviews with the stars. Lifestyle segments will feature correspondents Matt Pinfield of MTV and Gabby Epstein, a wellknown Instagram personality. The show is being shot in locations around the world, including London, Paris, New York, Havana, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Jamaica, West Virginia and many more places with major artists performing shows for their fans in front of landmarks to which they have a connection. First up in the series is Grammy winner Alicia Keys, a native New Yorker from Hell’s Kitchen. Her collaboration with Jay Z, Empire State of Mind, instantly became a city anthem. This first segment was recorded during the course of a year, with Keys performing in New York locations including on the Circle Line harbor tour, the Unisphere in Queens and Harlem’s Apollo Theater. The following week, country music superstar Brad Paisley returns to his roots in the Appalachian Mountains for a special outdoor concert at West Virginia University. As the hitmaker behind 23 No. 1 singles and the winner of just about every country music award given, Paisley brings his unique skills as a singer/songwriter, guitarist and entertainer back to his home state as well as to PBS viewers everywhere. Series creator, director and executive producer is Daniel E Catullo III, who explains that Landmarks Live will be “a mixture of large-scale productions and more intimate shows at locations in which concerts normally do not take place, adding a unique element to the show, each done in consultation with the artist.” Grammy Award-winning and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Smith is a session drummer whose credits include recordings with Johnny Cash, George Clinton, The Avett Brothers, Kid Rock and Dixie Chicks, among others. In 2014 Smith was honored to be appointed by President Barack Obama to the Turnaround Arts Committee which brings arts education programs to the lowest-performing schools in the country. “Working on Landmarks to create a new series which focuses on the artists’ stories, not just the performances, is something that I’m truly excited about. Landmarks is a real collaboration between a unique creative team and artists that will certainly change how music shows are approached,” says Smith. The performers to be featured in the remaining six segments of Landmarks Live in Concert are yet to be announced. The Great Performances brand has been seen on public television for 40 years. n wgcu.org

peak up,Southwest Florida. Now more than ever, WGCU FM radio listeners have a chance to be heard. Previously only on Wednesdays, the call-in radio show Gulf Coast Live is on the air every weekday and new show host Julie Glenn is not only talking, she’s also listening. Each show starts with a topic of local interest, Glenn explained. Ideas come from the news, from members of the community, from the FM staff. Glenn’s approach is to “do stories about things that concern me, as a mom, a citizen, a member of the community. And things that concern people I know.” That covers a pretty wide swath. Glenn has been a freelance writer in the area since 2007, building contacts as a journalist and also a wine expert. She began her broadcasting career in 1993 as a reporter/anchor/ producer for a local CBS affiliate in Quincy, Ill. After also working for the NBC affiliate, she decided to move to Parma, Italy, where she earned her master’s degree in communication from the University of Gastronomic Sciences. Her undergraduate degree in mass communication is from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. The show she now helms has had many incarnations over the years, but recently aired just once a week. “We’ve wanted to get back to five days a week since we stopped doing that in 2012,” said FM Station Manager and News Director Amy Tardif. “Getting the funding made all the difference.” That happened with a $260,000 gift from the Elizabeth B. McGraw Foundation last spring. Punta Gordan Lee McGraw is a great-granddaughter of James McGraw, founder of the McGraw-Hill publishing company. “We are so grateful for the generosity of the Elizabeth B. McGraw Foundation, whose support has made it possible for WGCU to bring Gulf Coast Live to listeners five days a week,” said station General Manager Rick Johnson. “Local programs like GCL not only help to inform listeners about local issues but also help to create a deeper bond between the station and the communities we serve.” Our communities, taken together, make up a pretty unique place, said Glenn, a Kansas native. To illustrate, she talked about a recent show about the Florida Panther population. Evidence of the first female panther making a home north of the Caloosahatchee is cause for optimism about the future of this endangered species. But conservationists and others say there are still so many getting killed on highways. One of the biggest GULF COAST LIVE see page 24 wgcu.org

Tales told in our own WORDS StoryCorps rolls into Fort Myers and sets up camp to turn local stories into living history By Dayna Harpster
12 Expressions Jan. 2017
S
ince 2005, StoryCorps’ intimate, emotional segments have been broadcast during NPR’s Morning Edition, on the NPR website and at StoryCorps.org. On Thursday, Jan. 5 StoryCorps will begin a month-long recording session in Fort Myers to capture the rich and varied stories of Southwest Floridians.
Its compelling stories – which reach 11 million listeners every Friday morning – are told by the people who’ve lived them. The broadcasts are culled from interviews that StoryCorps conducts with those people all over the country. Every story heard on the radio or the website is archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, as are most of the stories that aren’t chosen for broadcast. There are now more than 66,000 interviews in that StoryCorps Collection. Fans may also listen to StoryCorps with its free app, which debuted in March 2015 to become Best New App featured in iTunes and Google Play store. Broadcasts in 2015 alone included stories of a woman and her adult son with Down syndrome; a former juvenile offender who at 18 became a mentee at the White House and was recorded in a conversation with President Barack Obama; a Marine corporal who finally talked with his father about seeing five of his friends killed in Iraq; and an electrical power plant technology instructor named Sissy who carries pink toolboxes, wears bows in his hair and told his story with his wife of 45 years, Vickie. Each interview is 40 minutes long in raw form. The 1 percent selected for radio broadcast are edited to the three-minute interviews aired on WGCU FM Friday mornings during Morning Edition. Edition Beginning Jan. 5, you’ll see the StoryCorps Airstream trailer parked outside the downtown Fort Myers branch of the Lee County Public Library. That’s where local interviews will take place. Although by the time Expressions magazine
is published StoryCorps will have booked most of its interview appointments, to check availability of appointments go to storycorps.org/appointments or call 1.800.850.4406. StoryCorps’ host station WGCU will hold a Listening Event on January 19 at WGCU. WGCU members and fans of StoryCorps are invited to attend to learn more about StoryCorps and meet the StoryCorps staff. (See page 14 for details.) Some stories end up being animated, a feature that StoryCorps debuted in 2010 on local PBS stations including WGCU HDTV. The nonprofit’s animation team selects stories from the archive, and then each short is produced in partnership with an animation house. In November 2016, StoryCorps sent Jordan Bullard of its mobile tour team to Fort Myers to select a location for the Airstream and meet with WGCU staff and leaders from local organizations. Bullard explained that the radio broadcast is just one part of StoryCorps’ mission, which is to record aspects of the human existence in all its diversity. “Part of my job is to collect information, so the crew knows what to expect,” Bullard said. While in town, Bullard and several WGCU directors held a community meeting at the Alliance for the Arts in Fort Myers with leaders from more than a dozen local organizations and advocacy groups. Wherever the mobile tour goes – and it goes all over the country – the goal is outreach to populations that have had less of a voice in media in order to hear from and archive their stories. n

Ryan Kaufman with PBS CEO Paula Kerger
Focus on Friends: FGCU student shows he values WGCU WGCU has an immediate and lasting impact on the students in our community. One of them is Ryan Kaufman, a finance major at FGCU on track to graduate this fall. Ryan has distinct and warm memories of listening to Car Talk with his dad on their way to soccer and football practices as a child. Another of his favorites is This American Life. Currently, Ryan listens to WGCU FM to keep up on events and news. He likes that he can listen to different sides of a topic and find his own middle ground. He has even found himself applying what he learned on Marketplace in class the next morning. Listening to WGCU’s Community Drive last fall prompted Ryan to become a Leadership Circle member. His thinking was that the studios were on campus, and his gift would benefit more than one organization with on-air radio spots. So after class one afternoon, Ryan arrived at the studios with donation in hand. He has been a participating member ever since. “You can be in your car yelling about something or you can be a part of something bigger,” he said.
Seminar: Learn about the Artful Traveler curated voyages Come to the WGCU Studios at the Myra Janco Daniels Public Media Center, 10501 FGCU Blvd. S., on Tuesday, Jan. 10 @ 5 pm to hear about the Artful Traveler, a partnership of WGCU & Preferred Travel of Naples aboard a Regent Seven Seas cruise. These are special voyages that provide incredible opportunities to meet with and learn from PBS’s most dynamic personalities. Speaker for the seminar is Nicole Castillo of Regent Seven Seas. RSVP by Friday, Jan. 6. Call 239-261-1177 and ask for Kit.
Ryan attended several Leadership Circle events last season which allowed him to meet other local supporters. Meeting PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger last spring at an event in Naples was “pretty cool,” he said. Are you interested in making an impact on the students in our community?

GULF COAST LIVE from page 11
problems for the panther population is development. There are older homes in the area, but people moving here want new homes, which spurs this development. So Glenn wondered what owners or buyers of older homes can do to make them more desirable. An interior designer and others in the industry can answer that question in a followup show. Other recent Gulf Coast Live reports have brought national events into area focus, like the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor and its Southwest Florida connections. “We’ll be doing stories on whatever is most timely,” Tardif said. Helping to flesh out those timely topics is producer Matthew F. Smith. He and his wife moved from Delaware to Alaska in 2010 for his first job in radio. He spent five years working as a radio and television reporter, as well as a radio producer, talk show host, and news director at stations across Alaska. Most recently, Smith worked at a TV station in Fort Myers. He’s very happy to be back in radio. Also a trained journalist, Glenn is happy to be back in news, especially at this critical time. “We have the responsibility to bring things to light in a responsible way. Particularly today, with all the communication flying around, the fake news. We need to be looking behind all the opinions out there. “But also we need to have fun.” Smith contributes to newscasts, but as the producer, he primarily calls potential guests and conducts preinterviews. Smith handles scheduling. Both write scripts. Smith and Glenn will take their show on the road once a month, Tardif said. Upcoming shows are planned to take place at a local farmers market and on the FGCU campus. “We have a kit we use to go on scene,” she explained, consisting of a radio board and microphones that connect to the studio. Gulf Coast Live is a locally produced, call-in radio show focusing on issues that matter to Southwest Floridians. You are invited to interact with experts, decision makers and each other via phone calls, emails, texts, on Facebook and blogs. n

For many, Obama’s presidency will be defined by its accomplishments. Taking out Osama bin Laden, disengaging from fights in the Middle East that America cannot win. But for others, it has been marked by missteps and retreat. Has Obama’s foreign policy been a success? Jan. 8 Should we call a convention to amend the Constitution?
Almost everyone can think of something to change in the U.S. Constitution. It is always tempting to invoke Article V to amend the Constitution — to “fix” it, or “restore” it, or “improve” it. Calling a convention for proposing amendments is even riskier, because it has never been done before — and it might inadvertently put the entire constitutional structure up for grabs. Is it worth the risk?

Co-Directors of the Brookings Institution’s Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence speak about what the newly elected president and his Cabinet face in perhaps the most troubling times in foreign policy since the end of World War II. Jan. 22 “College Choice: the Value of It All,” hosted by All Things Considered’s Robert Siegel
When young adults set out to pick a college in 2010 and 2011, they were making a decision of a lifetime amid big financial obstacles: soaring tuition and the great recession. And then the debate over the value of college grew louder. NPR’s Robert Siegel set out to learn how nine bright college students feel now about the choices they made back then – attending a big state university, private college and community college.
