What I haven't done in ages is look through a telescope. That's why I'm excited for this Saturday night's festivities at Fiske Planetarium in Boulder.  http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/445/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/445/rss Tue, 07 Apr 09 08:57:00 -0700 '400 Years of the Telescope' screening & stargazing party!

The setting was stunning with an F-14 Tomcat beside the giant screen and stage. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/236/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/236/rss Fri, 06 Jun 08 10:58:00 -0700 Family secrets (& a personal goodbye) How well do we ever know our parents? This thought occurred to me when I spent time with my mother and her friends over the weekend. I was with them in a social setting on their turf, and it was almost like seeing Mom as a person - not just a mother - for the first time. I chatted with many of her friends and felt as if I'd finally arrived as an actual adult. I was privy to candid stories, confessions and insecurities. From the corner of the room, I observed complicated dynamics among friends, husbands, wives, others. These could be my own friends, I thought. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/229/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/229/rss Tue, 27 May 08 08:02:00 -0700 What does a 'real American' look like? My friend Paul (not his real name) remembers being taunted as a kid in Chicago. He was an all-American kid whose grandparents were from India. His family was Sikh and his grandfather wore a turban and beard in keeping with traditional Sikh practices. Kids at school called Paul a range of derogatory names, including one in particular that still causes him to grit his teeth. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/227/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/227/rss Tue, 20 May 08 11:47:00 -0700 Does 'Carrier' make a statement about the war? Pro-war? Anti-war? Somewhere in between? When it comes to "Carrier," viewers' opinions - just like sailors' - cover the spectrum. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/214/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/214/rss Tue, 29 Apr 08 12:30:00 -0700 Public screenings/discussions bring docs to life In the last couple of years, Rocky Mountain PBS has placed great importance in hosting free public screenings and discussions of programs that will later be on TV. Although television is our medium, public screenings give our viewers a chance to meet each other, learn more about a program, hear from experts and share ideas with others. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/213/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/213/rss Tue, 22 Apr 08 12:47:00 -0700 For reality characters worth following, see 'Carrier' He was slumped in the front row of the Greyhound, looking out the window as I settled beside him in the only empty seat. The wind was cutting, yet he wore only a hoodie and jeans. He barely answered my hello. But eventually, the sun drained from the sky, the groan of the engine drowned out the chatter, and he decided to talk. He was Blake, home from Iraq, riding from San Diego to his mom's in Wyoming. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/212/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/212/rss Tue, 15 Apr 08 10:11:00 -0700 Documentaries (and local filmmakers) take us 'round the world I eat documentaries for breakfast. Seriously, I can't see enough. Once I saw "Hoop Dreams" in 1994, I was hooked, and I've spent the years since catching up on the greats  - "Hearts and Minds," "Grey Gardens," "Gates of Heaven," etc. - and seeing all the new ones. It's why I love my job at Rocky Mountain PBS and why I love coordinating our ITVS Community Cinema screenings. It is extra exciting to me, then, to see two local filmmakers enjoy serious success with their ambitious, thoughtful documentaries. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/196/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/196/rss Tue, 18 Mar 08 12:58:00 -0700
