From the President 

The Clinton 

Presidency 

“Love him or not, Bill Clinton is a remarkable political figure,” says WGBH’s 

Mark Samels, executive producer for American Experience and the guiding 

force behind The Presidents, our award-winning collection of presidential 

biographies. this month, we’re proud to premiere the latest addition to this 

collection: Clinton (see page 15). 

“enough dust has settled on the Clinton presidency for us to look back 

and ask, ‘How did it come about? How did he get there? And what happened 

while he was there?’ ” mark explains. the 

film goes deeper than what you think 

you know or remember about our 42nd 

president, taking you behind the scenes 

to offer fresh insights about both the 

man and his presidency. 

“As with all our presidential biographies, 

the story of Clinton is told by those 

around him, who knew him best,” says 

mark. “We had extraordinary access to 

everyone—from the folks who grew 

up with him in Arkansas and were part of his political life as governor, to the 

people in his cabinet and inner circle in the White House.” the result is a 

stunning, 360-degree portrait of one of the most talented, flawed and fascinating 

politicians in American history. 

the film also provides context for where we are as a nation today. “so 

much of our political landscape right now—everything from the debate over 

health care to the role of the military, to surpluses, to debt and jobs, to the 

rivalries between the two political parties—was part of Bill Clinton’s presidency 

as well,” mark says. “We hope our film offers viewers perspective on 

how some of the issues that feel so intractable today actually are part of what 

America is…part of what America has been from the very beginning.” 

Looking to the past to shed light on the present always has been key to 

WGBH’s mission. thanks to your generous support, WGBH is making history 

every day.

programs profiling the rich history, culture and contributions of African 

Americans. explore! 

Underground Railroad: The William Still Story 

extraordinary people risked their lives to help fugitive slaves escape 

via the clandestine Underground railroad. One of them was William 

Still of Philadelphia, a free black man who 

accepted delivery of transported crates containing 

“human cargo.” this documentary 

reveals some of the dramatic, lesser-known 

stories behind this humanitarian enterprise, 

and explores key Canadian connections, 

including the surprising fate of former slaves 

who crossed the border to “Freedom’s Land.”

labor practices and laws that effectively created a new form of slavery 

in the south that persisted well into the 20th century. Based on the 

Pulitzer Prize-winning book by The Wall Street Journal’s douglas A. 

Blackmon, the film also examines the concept of “neoslavery,” which 

sentenced African Americans to forced labor for violating an array of 

laws that criminalized their everyday behavior.

Which Way to the Next 

Garbage Can? 

in an effort to outwit raccoons, are human 

beings actually making them smarter and 

unwittingly contributing to their evolutionary 

success? Are the ever more complex 

obstacles that our fast-paced urban world 

throws at them actually pushing the development 

of raccoon brains? in Raccoon 

Nation, scientists from around the world share their thoughts and 

work to explore this scientific theory. Attempting to do something that 

has never been done before, they closely follow a family of urban 

raccoons as the animals navigate the complex landscape of a big city.

which will prepare them for the ultimate 

challenge: a marathon separation surgery 

that will allow them to live truly separate 

lives. WGBH’s Nova follows trishna and

Love in Memphis 

Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for best new musical, Memphis turns 

the radio dial back to the 1950s to tell the story of a white DJ, named 

Huey Calhoun (Chad Kimball), whose love of music transcends race 

lines and airwaves. His romantic interest is Felicia Farrell (Montego 

Glover), a young black singer whose career is on the rise, but who 

can’t break out of segregated clubs on her own. When the two collaborate, 

her soulful music reaches radio 

audiences everywhere, and the golden 

era of early rock ‘n’ roll takes flight. 

But as things heat up, whether the 

world is really ready for their music— 

or their love—is put to a test.

film tells the tale of Little Nell Trent 

(newcomer Sophie Vavassuer) who 

lives with her doting grandfather 

(Jacobi) in his London store known as 

The Old Curiosity Shop. Little Nell is 

unaware that her grandfather has a 

ruinous gambling addiction that has left them nearly penniless and 

on the run from a loan shark. The pair fall in with a number of colorful 

characters, some villainous and some affectionate, in a tragic and

One-On-One Phylicia 

Rashad Phylicia Rashad is one of the 

most iconic mother figures in the history 

of American television. She talks 

about growing up during segregation 

in Texas, her relationship with Bill 

Cosby and where she finds her inspiration. 


Inspired 

The Amish 

The Amish’s intense faith and adherence to 500-year-old traditions 

have by turns captivated and repelled, awed and irritated, inspired and 

confused people for more than a century. With unprecedented access 

to this insular community, WGBH’s American Experience paints an intimate 

portrait of contemporary Amish faith and life. Why and how 

have the Amish, an insistently closed and communal culture, thrived 

within one of the most open, individualistic societies on earth? How 

have they successfully resisted the 

encroachments of modern society and 

government? And what does the future 

hold for a community whose existence is 

so rooted in the past? Tune in to find out.

Radio Spotlight 

Innovation Station 

Boston is known around the world as a hub of 

ideas, tackling issues from renewable energy 

and infrastructure to health care and technology 

with innovative solutions. In October, radio host 

Kara Miller launched a new program, Innovation 

Hub, on 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio, which 

delves into the cool new ideas percolating in the 

metro-Boston area, examining how they are born 

and exploring what they mean for the future of 

our society. An assistant professor of English at 

the University of Massachusetts/Dartmouth, 

where she teaches journalism, Miller’s articles 

have appeared in The Boston Globe, The National 

Journal, The Boston Herald, Boston Magazine and 

The International Herald Tribune, and she’s been a 

frequent panelist on WGBH’s Beat the Press. Miller 

recently chatted with WGBH’s Jennifer Goebel 

about her new program and why radio is an ideal 

platform for talking about innovation. 

QHow did the idea for Innovation Hub 

come about? 

was guest-hosting Greater Boston and we 

A 

I 

were doing a segment on innovation, so I 

asked friends and people in my social network to 

point me in the direction of local innovators. I got 

an incredible number of responses, and I realized 

that we had something special here. I got referred 

to inventors of medical devices, fashion pioneers, 

groundbreaking patent lawyers—an amazing 

range. I brought the idea to Phil Redo, 89.7 WGBH’s 

managing director, and he felt it fit in well with 

the station’s priorities, so we decided to launch a 

show about what’s new and innovative in Boston. 

QTell me about the program’s format. 

A 

The show is divided into two 30-minute 

segments, and each half focuses on a “big 

question”—it could be anything from urban 

education to green energy, to government. Some 

of the shows focus on actual physical inventions, 

but others are more about big ideas. Essentially, 

we start with a problem, such as “How can you 

improve urban education?” Then we look at the 

issues: Is the root of the problem that urban kids 

have nowhere to go and nothing to do in the 

afternoons? If that’s one of the roots, what kinds 

of afterschool programs really work for kids? Each 

show has two separate guest panels, and we aim 

to feature people with different experiences and 

points of view. 

QWhat makes Boston a good place for 

innovation? 

A 

Boston has great universities, which attract 

young people who are coming up with all 

kinds of ideas in technology, gaming, science, 

retail. And the depth of the research community 

and the great minds here create a perfect 

environment for the incubation of new ideas. 

When professors or students come up with ideas 

for start-ups, they often want to stay close to 

their schools, so they headquarter them here. 

Kendall Square recently put in a “Walk of Fame” 

for great innovators, a testament to the importance 

the community places on ideas. 

QWhy is radio a good platform for a 

program like this? 

A 

Radio gives you a good chunk of time. You 

can get into deep discussions, and the ideas 

and innovations we’re talking about are so interesting 

and appealing that they fit in a long-form 

radio program better than they would in the 

kinds of shorter, bite-sized segments that exist 

on commercial radio and TV. 

QWhat does it take to do a weekly hourlong 

program like Innovation Hub? 

A 

A lot of preparation. Of course, one of the 

biggest parts is booking the panel: getting 

the guests we want, getting people who can speak 

about what they are doing on the radio, and making 

sure we have a good balance of perspectives. 

I also have to do a lot of research and background 

reading so that I understand the need for innovation, 

and so that I can challenge the panel to 

address the real issues and stumbling blocks that 

have proven to be intractable in the past. I want 

to be able to draw the panelists out and hear 

what they have to say. Then people can judge for 

themselves whether they think these innovations 

will work. 

QWhat drew you to doing this kind of 

program? 

A 

My best qualification for hosting this program 

is that I’m really interested in ideas of all 

kinds: science, education, the economy, the arts. 

Having that diverse range of interests, and being 

fascinated by the work people are doing, is what 

inspired this program. I’m an idea person, like so 

many other NPR listeners, and I’m interested in 

hearing how things are going to change, and how 

the future is going to look before we’ve seen it. 

QWhat accounts for the enduring 

popularity of radio? 

A 

I think there are two reasons. First, radio has 

that ability to allow long-form conversations. 

I love listening to Teri Gross [Fresh Air] when she 

has somebody on that I’m interested in hearing. 

I want to hear them at length. And second, you 

can’t watch television in your car or when you’re 

doing something else, like cooking. But if you’re 

getting dinner ready, let’s say, your body is occupied, 

but your brain is listening to the radio. Also, 

I sometimes like the fact that you don’t see people. 

It allows you to get beyond what people look 

like, and to focus on what they’re saying instead 

of whether their haircut is any good, what they’re 

wearing and other distractions. 

QHow did you first connect to WGBH? 

A 

I grew up in Carlisle, Massachusetts, so my 

connection to WGBH probably goes back to 

when I was five years old watching Sesame Street 

and other kids’ programs. I also liked Julia Child. 

I remember once, when I was eight, my mom had 

to take something to a party, so I wrote down a 

Julia Child recipe for a chocolate cake, writing as 

fast as I could to keep up with what she was saying. 

It turned out really well, and since my mom 

did not normally bake, we were all impressed. 

My favorite program on television now is Charlie 

Rose. He’s an idea person, too, and one of the 

people who inspired me to become a journalist. 

That’s really the best of what WGBH does: inspire 

people. And I hope that’s one of the things 

Innovation Hub will accomplish. 

Tune in Innovation Hub Saturdays at 7am and 

Sundays at 10pm on 89.7 WGBH, or listen online 

anytime at wgbh.org/radio.

By Phil Redo 

Managing Director, 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio 

Almost five years ago, during a speech at the BIO 2007 

conference, Governor Deval Patrick announced the 

Massachusetts Life Sciences Initiative: a $1 billion 

investment package (over 10 years) to enhance and 

strengthen the state’s already internationally recognized 

leadership in the field. 

Life sciences is one of WGBH Radio’s editorial areas of concentration, and 

last fall listeners to WGBH’s Morning Edition heard an intriguing story reported 

by host Bob Seay. 

A young metabolic engineer, Jake Wintermute, and his colleagues at 

Harvard Medical School think they may have unlocked some important 

secrets about LSD, the notorious and illegal drug promoted in the 1960s by 

doctor/guru Timothy Leary. 

For more than 40 years, LSD and its close chemical relative, lysergic acid, 

have basically been under lock and key as controlled substances, and strictly 

regulated by both federal and state laws. 

Wintermute, who recently earned a PhD from Harvard Medical School 

in the Department of Systems Biology, has been researching pathways to 

new drugs these long-blacklisted compounds might yield. His interest is in 

lysergic acid, which can be made both cheaply and quickly using new bioengineering

The actual mechanism by which the compound works is still somewhat 

mysterious, Wintermute admitted, but said it has something to do with it

acting as a vasodilator: “It sort of opens up the blood vessels of the brain, 

improves the circulation in the brain; the sort of enhanced clarity that people 

on these drugs can sometimes benefit from comes from that.” 

While the technology is obviously critical, so is curiosity and, in this 

case, a dose of courage. “There are a lot of exciting new drugs that are being 

developed thanks to these new bioengineering technologies,” Wintermute 

told WGBH. “And no one yet has taken up lysergic acid as a kind of promising 

new precursor, and I think a lot of that is because there is this kind of stigma, 

taboo, when you are working on something that is so illegal or so close to 

illegal.” 

The potential benefits of such a new drug? Easing symptoms of Parkinson’s 

disease, a therapy for migraines and treatment for elder dementia. 

Drawing from 

materials in WGBH’s 

archives, Seay’s radio 

piece featured the 

opinions of the late 

Dr. Leary, who could be 

heard debating the 

benefits of LSD with 

Jerome Lettvin, an MIT 

professor, psychiatrist 

and cognitive scientist. Their exchange was lifted from a program that aired 

on WGBH television back in 1967. Far out!

episode, Maron talks with Ben Stiller and comic Tig 

Notaro. Stiller may be one of the biggest movie stars in 

the world, but he is not above sitting in the garage for 

a chat with Maron about show biz, parents, rivalries, 

Judd Apatow, anxieties and Heat Vision & Jack. And, Notaro talks about why 

she hates people who take pity on female comics.

The World’s Geo Quiz 

Where in the World Is… 

Test your grasp of geography with The World’s Geo Quiz: This tiny resort town 

(pictured) in southeastern Europe stands out as one of the southernmost 

towns in Montenegro. It sits 75 miles south of Dubrovnik and has a 

fabulous view of the Adriatic Sea. The waves on the beaches attract lots of 

Albanian, German, Italian and eastern European tourists. It’s not as well 

known as other spots on the Adriatic, such as Dubrovnik and Budva, but it 

does have a fascinating history: the seaport that was at one time a haven 

for pirates also has a black community that dates back centuries. Where is 

this melting pot on the Adriatic? Find the answer on the bottom of page 24 

or online with the accompanying story on the town at

Classical New England 

Watch Your Radio! 

By Benjamin K. Roe 

Managing Director of Classical Services 

In 1981, MTV famously went on the air with a 

quirky (and seemingly prophetic) hit by The 

Buggles called “Video Killed the Radio Star.” Today, 

more than 30 years later, radio is as strong as ever 

and video is about the last thing you ever see on 

MTV. But adding video images to the great sounds 

you hear on the radio might just be the salvation 

for emerging classical musicians. 

To be sure, WGBH has forged a worldwide reputation for excellence during 

its six decades of television production. But in recent months, we at 

Classical New England have been breaking new ground in the comparatively 

uncharted territory of short-form classical video production, seeking to capture 

the artistry, immediacy and visceral energy of live performances in our 

Fraser Performance Studio not only in sound, but also in images. 

And what sights we’ve seen…and shared! Every artist and/or ensemble 

that appears on our signature Drive Time Live series on Friday afternoons is 

also getting its performance recorded in state-of-the-art HD video. You can 

see the results not only on our Classical New England website, but also on 

our new channels on the video-sharing sites Vimeo and YouTube, making it 

the latest WGBH venture to be “Produced in Boston, shared with the world.” 

And the world is answering back! Watching the brilliant Ina 

Zdorovetchi perform her own arrangement of a Scott Joplin piece on the 

harp (a Classical New England commission), one YouTube viewer wrote, “This 

artist performs as if she LOVES ragtime! This brings ragtime to a whole new 

realm!” The Muir Quartet’s in-studio performance of a Beethoven string quartet 

drew raves from Zurich, Switzerland. And despite the newness of the 

venture, the sheer variety of performers, genres and repertoires is impressive. 

We’ve already been able to share with the online world the artistry of tenor 

William Hite performing fresh arrangements of Beethoven’s little-known folk 

songs from the British Isles (that's right: Beethoven in English!), as well as 

Berklee College of Music student Mike Bono performing one of his original 

compositions during our special 9/11 commemorative broadcast. 

The videos are largely the handiwork of videographer and WGBH documentary 

producer Greg Shea. Greg, the producer of the acclaimed A Simple 

Act short film, has brought his considerable film-production skills to the new 

arena of classical music. And it’s been an eye opener, says Greg. “What I’ve 

noticed most filming these world-class musicians up close is how physically 

demanding it is to maintain such a high level of skill and concentration. It’s 

like having a front-row seat to watching a professional athlete in action.” 

Your front-row seat is now only a click away. So when you hear one of 

our Classical New England hosts say “Watch your radio,” it’s no mistake! 

See and hear the Classical New England performances mentioned in this 

article at classicalnewengland.org, or the WGBH/Classical New England 

Channels on vimeo.com or YouTube.com.

BSO: Fresh Starts and Long-Held Celebrations 

By Brian McCreath 

Classical New England Announcer/Producer 

In this time of rapidly shifting landscapes in both radio and music, one 

constant is the six-decade-and-counting relationship between WGBH 

and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The BSO, following a very public 

separation from conductor James Levine, now is in the much less visible 

phase of finding his replacement as music director. Classical New England 

has covered this story from the very beginning with timely updates and 

conversations, and we’ll continue to bring you developments as they 

happen. 

As the music director search picks up steam, the BSO carries on, 

recently completing a tour to the West Coast, during which Mark Swed of 

the Los Angeles Times wrote, “The winds…were extraordinary. The suave 

strings were more French than the French. The Boston brass presented a 

magical power of boldness in containment.” Joshua Kosman of the 

San Francisco Chronicle felt “the orchestra left no doubt that it remains 

one of the premier American ensembles.” 

Looking forward, the orchestra has planned a stunning Pops 

season, highlighted by comedic actor and musician Steve Martin, and 

a celebratory 75th-anniversary season 

at Tangle-wood. Along the way, Classical 

New England is proud to continue bringing 

you this musical treasure, not just of Boston, 

but of the entire music world. 

With Classical New England’s 

expansion into Rhode Island, we’re excited 

to bring more listeners to the BSO broadcast 

family: now stations in Vermont, Maine, 

upstate New York, and Connecticut will offer 

WGBH’s BSO broadcasts. That’s in addition 

to the ways we’ve expanded beyond our 

Saturday night live BSO broadcasts from Symphony Hall (themselves a 

rarity in the radio world) by repeating broadcasts on Sunday afternoons 

and offering on-demand access to each concert for two weeks at 

classicalnewengland.org. 

It’s 60 years and counting for WGBH and the BSO, and with all of the 

above, you might think of that old adage “the only constant is change.” 

We’re thrilled to bring you both constancy and change! 

Ports of Call: Musical 

Destinations 

By Cheryl Willoughby 

Classical New England Music Director 

It’s the time of year when many folks dream of being 

far, far away from the winter doldrums of slushy sidewalks, 

dead batteries and bulky overcoats stained 

with road salt. For some, it may be planning that trip 

to Spring Training, or perhaps to Disney World. Others may be thumbing 

through brochures promising more exotic locales. 

Alas, for the rest, those dreams of faraway destinations remain just that: 

fantasies. But all this month, you’ll get to be an “armchair traveler” 

to some of the world’s most glamorous, colorful and downright mysterious 

locales…from the Hebrides Overture to the Steppes of Central Asia. Every 

weekday, hosts Laura Carlo, Alan McLellan, Cathy Fuller and James David 

Jacobs will be your tour guides for “Ports of Call”—our month-long survey of 

works by great composers who transformed their cabin fever into inspired 

musical creations. 

It all starts February 1 at 9am, when Laura plays one of the most famous 

of all musical travelogues: Jacques Ibert’s Escales, or “Ports of Call.” The 

French composer’s evocation composition, dating from 1922, retraces a cruise 

around the Mediterranean, with a noisy stop in Rome, an eerie visit to Tunis 

on the North African coast and a whirling Spanish dance scene in Valencia to 

wind it all up. Find the complete schedule, including Alan’s choice European 

destinations middays on Café Europa, at classicalnewengland.org. So sit 

back, relax and let Classical New England be your passport to the world!
