But as the cost of college became too overwhelming, he was forced to drop out and find another path. Now, a recent graduate of an information technology (IT) bootcamp—and valedictorian of his class—Tawie has opened up promising new roads for his next chapter, and is looking forward to speaking with leaders who have similarly overcome obstacles and found stability in their careers after completing IT certifications. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Dafina \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a proud mother of three who’s learning how to balance the responsibilities of parenthood with trying to find her own path. After losing her job in 2022, her career journey was recently reinvigorated by multiple microcredential programs, including an IT compliance internship at Costco. With interests in cybersecurity, AI, project management, supply chain, government, and entrepreneurship, she’s motivated to help organizations shape governance, risk and compliance, and is eager to connect with leaders across these diverse fields, believing that exposure to these different perspectives will help to broaden her own horizons. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ronnie \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">always knew that a four-year degree wasn’t the right next step for him. So, as a senior in high school, he decided to enroll in a short-term learning program after graduation—a pathway he wishes more high school students knew about. While completing his IT program, he found support and community by teaching Muay Thai on the side, and now feels split between pursuing a financially stable path in IT, versus following his passion for Muay Thai. He’s hoping to speak with leaders who understand his multiple passions, and can show him how to combine his interests into one fulfilling career. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cb>A Message of Opportunity\u003c/b>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This series speaks directly to those looking to advance their education or careers through flexible means.

But as the cost of college became too overwhelming, he was forced to drop out and find another path. Now, a recent graduate of an information technology (IT) bootcamp—and valedictorian of his class—Tawie has opened up promising new roads for his next chapter, and is looking forward to speaking with leaders who have similarly overcome obstacles and found stability in their careers after completing IT certifications. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Dafina \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a proud mother of three who’s learning how to balance the responsibilities of parenthood with trying to find her own path. After losing her job in 2022, her career journey was recently reinvigorated by multiple microcredential programs, including an IT compliance internship at Costco. With interests in cybersecurity, AI, project management, supply chain, government, and entrepreneurship, she’s motivated to help organizations shape governance, risk and compliance, and is eager to connect with leaders across these diverse fields, believing that exposure to these different perspectives will help to broaden her own horizons. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Ronnie \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">always knew that a four-year degree wasn’t the right next step for him. So, as a senior in high school, he decided to enroll in a short-term learning program after graduation—a pathway he wishes more high school students knew about. While completing his IT program, he found support and community by teaching Muay Thai on the side, and now feels split between pursuing a financially stable path in IT, versus following his passion for Muay Thai. He’s hoping to speak with leaders who understand his multiple passions, and can show him how to combine his interests into one fulfilling career. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cb>A Message of Opportunity\u003c/b>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This series speaks directly to those looking to advance their education or careers through flexible means.

Through stunning cinematography, vivid animation, and powerful storytelling, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> unveils the secrets, superpowers, and saga of the coast redwoods—the tallest and among the oldest living beings on Earth.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This epic tale celebrates the redwoods’ majesty and mystery while revealing our deep, ever-evolving relationship with them. Living links to the past, these towering giants also hold clues to humanity’s future. Their extraordinary resilience—able to withstand fire, capture carbon, and nurture life across centuries—offers lessons in adaptation, balance, and hope in the face of a rapidly changing planet.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the voices of scientists, artists, Native community leaders, and others whose lives are intertwined with these remarkable trees, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores the redwoods’ profound ecological importance and their enduring place in our cultural imagination.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is more than a film about redwoods,” said Lisa Landers, producer and director of the film. “It’s a story about resilience, renewal, and our shared connection to the natural world. The awe that redwoods inspire is a gateway to accessing a deeper sense of connection to forests everywhere—and to understanding why it’s in our best interest to take care of them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an era when people are more likely to turn on a device than go for a walk in the woods, this cinematic experience can be a powerful tool for rekindling a sense of connection not just to redwoods but to all forests, inspiring people to get out into the trees wherever they live and reap the profound benefits to our physical, emotional and social well-being. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the film, UC Irvine social psychologist Dr. Paul Piff says, “redwoods and time in nature are one of the primary ways that people get to be reminded that I am a small part of this bigger world, and that I need to do things to help protect it and make sure that others get to experience it as well.” Dr. Piff also notes that being among trees for just 60 seconds can make us feel happier, less stressed and more compassionate—and that similar effects can occur simply by viewing images of trees. Thus, by watching \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, viewers may experience some of these remarkable benefits firsthand.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">From the mist-shrouded coastlines of Northern California to the sun-dappled groves of ancient giants, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> immerses viewers in a realm of wonder.

Living links to the past, these towering giants also hold clues to humanity’s future. Their extraordinary resilience—able to withstand fire, capture carbon, and nurture life across centuries—offers lessons in adaptation, balance, and hope in the face of a rapidly changing planet.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through the voices of scientists, artists, Native community leaders, and others whose lives are intertwined with these remarkable trees, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores the redwoods’ profound ecological importance and their enduring place in our cultural imagination.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">GIANTS RISING\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is more than a film about redwoods,” said Lisa Landers, producer and director of the film. “It’s a story about resilience, renewal, and our shared connection to the natural world. The awe that redwoods inspire is a gateway to accessing a deeper sense of connection to forests everywhere—and to understanding why it’s in our best interest to take care of them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an era when people are more likely to turn on a device than go for a walk in the woods, this cinematic experience can be a powerful tool for rekindling a sense of connection not just to redwoods but to all forests, inspiring people to get out into the trees wherever they live and reap the profound benefits to our physical, emotional and social well-being. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She is passionate about Black representation in healthcare and hopes to have her own women’s health practice someday. The collaborative nature of nursing has inspired her to want to learn more about nontraditional nursing roles related to policy and education, as she is determined to create a lasting impact in her community no matter which route she chooses to take.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Logan \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is pursuing his second bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Central Florida. Having earned his first degree in marketing, he decided to shift careers after working in a senior living center—which introduced him to the clinical environment—and witnessing his father step into a caregiving role during his mother’s battle with cancer. He is driven by a deep desire for community impact, and is eager to explore how he may provide compassionate care to the world. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maya \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a nursing student at Florida State University, with a strong interest in clinical care nursing. She is eager to explore paths in ICU work, as well as advanced practice like becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.

She is passionate about Black representation in healthcare and hopes to have her own women’s health practice someday. The collaborative nature of nursing has inspired her to want to learn more about nontraditional nursing roles related to policy and education, as she is determined to create a lasting impact in her community no matter which route she chooses to take.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Logan \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is pursuing his second bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Central Florida. Having earned his first degree in marketing, he decided to shift careers after working in a senior living center—which introduced him to the clinical environment—and witnessing his father step into a caregiving role during his mother’s battle with cancer. He is driven by a deep desire for community impact, and is eager to explore how he may provide compassionate care to the world. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maya \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">is a nursing student at Florida State University, with a strong interest in clinical care nursing. She is eager to explore paths in ICU work, as well as advanced practice like becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Having been raised to be a “global citizen,” she is passionate about diversity in health care and eager to learn from nursing professionals how to balance the emotional demands of the job while still providing meaningful and empathetic care. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From the 1930s through the Civil Rights era and to contemporary grassroots activism, the documentary highlights the voices and songs that have united communities and inspired change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the heart of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the extraordinary life of \u003c/span>\u003cb>Faith Petric (1915-2013)\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a political activist, musician, mother, worker, and grandmother who united folk music and activism across nearly a century of American social movements. Born in a log cabin during the Great Depression, Faith discovered folk music in college and soon found herself on the frontlines of history. From supporting migrant workers in California during the 1930s, building Liberty Ships in World War II, and enduring Cold War-era FBI surveillance to marching for racial justice in Selma, Alabama, and protesting war as a Raging Granny in her eighties, Faith lived a life of unwavering commitment to social justice.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Told largely in her own words, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> draws from Faith’s extensive personal collection of photos and artifacts, performance and interview footage spanning decades, and insights from historians, musical colleagues, and family members. Historical footage provides a foundational layer to the story, showing how Faith actively engaged with world events rather than being passively shaped by them. The film offers an inspiring testament to the power of music, activism, and community.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We are thrilled to bring \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to PBS audiences,” said Amy Miller, Director of Video Production & Distribution at KQED. “Faith Petric’s life is a remarkable example of how music can serve as both a personal passion and a vehicle for change, uniting generations in the fight for a better world.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The documentary also examines Faith’s deep influence on the folk music scene, particularly through her leadership of the San Francisco Folk Music Club, where she opened her home to generations of musicians and activists. Faith continued to perform into her nineties, using music as a tool to challenge social norms, build intergenerational communities, and inspire civic engagement.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Faith’s story is a powerful reminder that political engagement can be a lifelong practice that evolves, adapts, and inspires others, whether through marching or singing,” said Estelle Freedman, the film’s co-director. “\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice,” \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">co-director Christie Herring added, “empowers audiences of all ages to raise their own voices, find joy in protest, and engage in meaningful action, just as Faith did throughout her life.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will air on PBS stations nationwide starting \u003c/span>\u003cb>March 11, 2025\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/tv_schedules/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">check local listings\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">) with streaming available on the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/pbs-app/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">PBS app\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

From supporting migrant workers in California during the 1930s, building Liberty Ships in World War II, and enduring Cold War-era FBI surveillance to marching for racial justice in Selma, Alabama, and protesting war as a Raging Granny in her eighties, Faith lived a life of unwavering commitment to social justice.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Told largely in her own words, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> draws from Faith’s extensive personal collection of photos and artifacts, performance and interview footage spanning decades, and insights from historians, musical colleagues, and family members. Historical footage provides a foundational layer to the story, showing how Faith actively engaged with world events rather than being passively shaped by them. The film offers an inspiring testament to the power of music, activism, and community.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We are thrilled to bring \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Singing for Justice\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to PBS audiences,” said Amy Miller, Director of Video Production & Distribution at KQED. “Faith Petric’s life is a remarkable example of how music can serve as both a personal passion and a vehicle for change, uniting generations in the fight for a better world.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Emmy-winning series explores our planet and its people from the Americas to Europe, Africa and Asia. From Texas to Alaska, local treasures are discovered. Joseph roams Ireland’s Ancient East, a land of myths and legends, following the festive trail of Halloween. Then he returns to Northern Ireland to walk in the footsteps of St. Patrick and join the celebration Ireland’s favorite saint. On France’s Lot River he continues his travels by boat capturing the spirit of the people and the beauty of this special part of France. Joseph's globetrotting adventures take him to Africa and Asia when he highlights wine country, natural wonders, and wildlife conservation in South Africa, and in The Best of Taiwan, his storytelling reveals a surprising country of extraordinary people, cultural festivals, and natural attractions that include mountains, islands, and forests. This season, like the eleven before it, \u003cstrong>\u003cem>Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> asks viewers to accept the world’s invitation to visit and experience our planet and its people, its natural treasures, and its amazing wildlife in all their glory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1201 - Halloween in Ireland’s Ancient East\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Irish are a celebratory people ready to rejoice in life at the beat of a drum, a note from a song, and a burst of laughter. Joseph joins the party when he celebrates Halloween in Ireland’s Ancient East, an area rich in history, myths, and legends, and views this beautiful part of the island through the prism of two festivals. The Puca Festival is an ancient observance reborn and the Wexford Festival Opera illustrates the Irish’s devotion to community. At the Puca Festival, Joseph joins the commemoration of the Celtic New Year, Samhain (pronounced Sow-In), which dates back more than 2,500 years. At the Wexford Opera Festival, he spotlights the festival’s 70 years of featuring unknown national and international composers with the support of more than 400 community volunteers. In between the festivities, Joseph samples a taste of the island in castles, country homes, markets, pubs, and restaurants. It’s clear that Ireland has much to celebrate – its heritage and culture, its struggles and survival, its scenic beauty and natural attractions — and we’re all invited to join in the revelry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1202 - Ireland – Following the Way of St. Patrick – Part 1\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph follows in the footsteps of St. Patrick, Ireland’s Patron Saint, when he wanders by foot and travels by car along the Way and Trail of St. Patrick in Northern Ireland. In this episode, Joseph encounters Patrick’s history in the grand Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland cathedrals in Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. He visits with fifth-century Celts at Navin Centre & Fort and then travels on to other sacred and mythical sites, washing his face in St. Patrick’s Well and sitting in the saint’s Chair. Along the rugged Irish coast, he visits the Giant’s Causeway and finds plenty of comfort and good cheer at Bushmill’s historic distillery. He travels on to Northern Ireland’s capital, Belfast, and tours the University, Titanic and Cathedral Quarters and drops into a few pubs for a pint of Guinness or two to quench his thirst. By the end of his Belfast stay he’s prepared to move on to Downpatrick, Patrick’s burial place, for all the festivities and celebrations surrounding the saint’s day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1203 - Ireland – Following the Way of St. Patrick – Part 2 \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph continues his Irish journey in the footsteps St. Patrick, Ireland’s Patron Saint, by foot and by car along the Way and Trail of St. Patrick in Northern Ireland. This episode takes him to Slemish Mountain where Patrick served as a slave and Strangford Lough where Patrick returned to Ireland to answer the heavenly call to convert the populace to Christianity. He visits Saul Church, where Patrick began his mission, and Downpatrick Cathedral, St. Patrick’s burial site. While on his journey sacred sites abound, but he best connects with his Patrick’s spirit in the forests, fields and mountains where he walked, worked and lived. Ireland is a land of myth and legend and rich in customs and traditions. St. Patrick’s Day in Downpatrick is filled to the brim with their observance. Here Joseph discovers that while in much of the world St. Patrick’s Day is a rousing party, in Ireland the saint’s death is commemorated as a time of reconciliation, contemplation, and family and cultural celebrations. In typical Irish fashion, it’s also a time for mighty craic – a great time!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1204 - The Best of Taiwan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why Taiwan? That is a question uninitiated visitors to Taiwan may ask. Beginning with its Portuguese discoverers, who called it \u003cem>Isla Formosa\u003c/em>, Beautiful Isle; they will soon find there is much in Taiwan to enjoy. With close to 1,000 miles of coastline to stroll, 286 mountain peaks over 9,000 feet to climb, 10 islands to explore, countless festivals to celebrate and 14 aboriginal groups to meet, Taiwan is a wondrous land with an abundance of surprising things to do, see and experience. Joseph has covered the island from every angle. He’s taken in the island by rail, reveled in its natural treasures, sampled its unique foods and drinks, combed through its night markets, explored its islands, participated in spiritual and cultural festivals and celebrated with its people. In his latest Taiwan episode Joseph dips into his previous Taiwan adventures, picks the best of his experiences and answers the question, “Why Taiwan?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1205 - South Africa – Into the Wild!\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph heads back to his first African adventure when he safaris through South Africa for close encounters with its animals and people. His journey begins in Cape Town, South Africa’s mother city, so called because it’s the country’s oldest. Then in the shadow of the city’s landmark Table Mountain, he visits South Africa’s oldest wine country and samples some of South Africa's finest wines. While we can expect to find lions and elephants on Joseph’s African journey, at the Cape of Good Hope Joseph also introduces us to ostriches and a colony of three thousand African Penguins. The climax of the episode is Joseph’s safari at Shamwari Game Reserve, a 61,000 acre preserve. Equally as inspiring as Joseph’s experience being surrounded by the multitude of Shamwari’s amazing animal residents is his experience in Alicedale, an abandoned rail town on the edge of the reserve. There he learns that sustainable tourism, attracted by the game reserve, has given the people new hope. In a dramatic moment of illustrated truth, Joseph’s South African journey teaches us that although predators kill by instinct, people choose whether to attack or embrace each other and choice is what makes us human and allows us to celebrate our connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1206 - South Padre Island, TX\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph heads to South Padre Island for a host of activities that highlight the many pleasures available to visitors to the longest barrier island on the South Texas Coast. Besides enjoying the local's favorite pastime of kicking’ back and breathing in the sweet sea breezes, Joseph partakes of the islands’ many natural and manmade attractions. From fishing to bird watching and horseback riding, from building sand castles to kayaking the lagoon and hitting the surf, Joseph joins in the fun. A highlight of his visit is his in-depth visit to the only Sea Turtle rescue set in the United States -- South Padre Island Sea Turtle, Inc. To round out his stay he follows the Sandcastle Trail and Sea Turtle Art Trail and proves that South Padre Island has something to offer every visitor and the best time to visit is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1207 - France – Cruising on the Lot \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph and his crew navigate a watery path under the craggy cliffs and dramatic escarpments of Southwest France. Winding their way by boat through the Lot River Valley they capture Joseph’s journey through the river’s ancient locks and the region’s magical villages. Among the many treasures, the episode features are Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, classified as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”, the Château de Mercuès, with its Michelin star restaurant and award-winning winery, as well as, the region’s capital, Cahors, which boasts historic bridges, secret gardens and one of the best marchés – farmer's markets -- in Southwest France. Joseph offers his viewers a taste of the region’s abundance of riches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1208 - Alaska – America’s Last Frontier\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph looks back to his first voyage through Alaska’s Inside Passage to the land and the people of America’s Last Frontier. His ocean-going vessel carries him through Canadian waters to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and on through Alaska’s inside passage to Juneau, Skagway and Sitka. Along the way, the ship stops in Tracy Arm Fjord to catch nature’s show headlined by Bald Eagles and Gray, Orca and Humpback whales. Further explorations take him to Alaska’s capital, Juneau and while no roads lead to Juneau visitors still come to trek its glaciers, kayak its rivers and ski its mountains. Joseph’s Alaskan journey of discovery continues in the Klondike Gold Rush town of Skagway and in historic Sitka where he explores its Russian roots. On his Inside Passage journey, he meets the Tsimshian people and learns of their struggle to retain their language, rich culture and ancient ceremonies. Alaska is America’s Last Frontier and every Alaskan has a story to tell about what brought them and what keeps them there. In the end, Joseph discovers that they came for the land, but they stayed for the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underwritten by: EVA Airways, No Jet Lag\u003cbr>\nLocal Underwriting: available with non-compete of national underwriter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Producer: Julie Rosendo, \u003ca href=\"mailto:julie@travelscope.net\">julie@travelscope.net\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presenting Station: KQED, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About APT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cu>American Public Television \u003c/u>(APT) is the leading syndicator of high-quality, top-rated programming to the nation’s public television stations.

The Emmy-winning series explores our planet and its people from the Americas to Europe, Africa and Asia. From Texas to Alaska, local treasures are discovered. Joseph roams Ireland’s Ancient East, a land of myths and legends, following the festive trail of Halloween. Then he returns to Northern Ireland to walk in the footsteps of St. Patrick and join the celebration Ireland’s favorite saint. On France’s Lot River he continues his travels by boat capturing the spirit of the people and the beauty of this special part of France. Joseph's globetrotting adventures take him to Africa and Asia when he highlights wine country, natural wonders, and wildlife conservation in South Africa, and in The Best of Taiwan, his storytelling reveals a surprising country of extraordinary people, cultural festivals, and natural attractions that include mountains, islands, and forests. This season, like the eleven before it, \u003cstrong>\u003cem>Joseph Rosendo’s Travelscope\u003c/em>\u003c/strong> asks viewers to accept the world’s invitation to visit and experience our planet and its people, its natural treasures, and its amazing wildlife in all their glory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1201 - Halloween in Ireland’s Ancient East\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Irish are a celebratory people ready to rejoice in life at the beat of a drum, a note from a song, and a burst of laughter. Joseph joins the party when he celebrates Halloween in Ireland’s Ancient East, an area rich in history, myths, and legends, and views this beautiful part of the island through the prism of two festivals. The Puca Festival is an ancient observance reborn and the Wexford Festival Opera illustrates the Irish’s devotion to community. At the Puca Festival, Joseph joins the commemoration of the Celtic New Year, Samhain (pronounced Sow-In), which dates back more than 2,500 years. At the Wexford Opera Festival, he spotlights the festival’s 70 years of featuring unknown national and international composers with the support of more than 400 community volunteers. In between the festivities, Joseph samples a taste of the island in castles, country homes, markets, pubs, and restaurants. It’s clear that Ireland has much to celebrate – its heritage and culture, its struggles and survival, its scenic beauty and natural attractions — and we’re all invited to join in the revelry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In this episode, Joseph encounters Patrick’s history in the grand Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland cathedrals in Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. He visits with fifth-century Celts at Navin Centre & Fort and then travels on to other sacred and mythical sites, washing his face in St. Patrick’s Well and sitting in the saint’s Chair. Along the rugged Irish coast, he visits the Giant’s Causeway and finds plenty of comfort and good cheer at Bushmill’s historic distillery. He travels on to Northern Ireland’s capital, Belfast, and tours the University, Titanic and Cathedral Quarters and drops into a few pubs for a pint of Guinness or two to quench his thirst. By the end of his Belfast stay he’s prepared to move on to Downpatrick, Patrick’s burial place, for all the festivities and celebrations surrounding the saint’s day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1203 - Ireland – Following the Way of St. Patrick – Part 2 \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph continues his Irish journey in the footsteps St. Patrick, Ireland’s Patron Saint, by foot and by car along the Way and Trail of St. Patrick in Northern Ireland. This episode takes him to Slemish Mountain where Patrick served as a slave and Strangford Lough where Patrick returned to Ireland to answer the heavenly call to convert the populace to Christianity. He visits Saul Church, where Patrick began his mission, and Downpatrick Cathedral, St. Patrick’s burial site. While on his journey sacred sites abound, but he best connects with his Patrick’s spirit in the forests, fields and mountains where he walked, worked and lived. Ireland is a land of myth and legend and rich in customs and traditions. St. Patrick’s Day in Downpatrick is filled to the brim with their observance. Here Joseph discovers that while in much of the world St. Patrick’s Day is a rousing party, in Ireland the saint’s death is commemorated as a time of reconciliation, contemplation, and family and cultural celebrations. In typical Irish fashion, it’s also a time for mighty craic – a great time!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1204 - The Best of Taiwan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why Taiwan? That is a question uninitiated visitors to Taiwan may ask. Beginning with its Portuguese discoverers, who called it \u003cem>Isla Formosa\u003c/em>, Beautiful Isle; they will soon find there is much in Taiwan to enjoy. With close to 1,000 miles of coastline to stroll, 286 mountain peaks over 9,000 feet to climb, 10 islands to explore, countless festivals to celebrate and 14 aboriginal groups to meet, Taiwan is a wondrous land with an abundance of surprising things to do, see and experience. Joseph has covered the island from every angle. He’s taken in the island by rail, reveled in its natural treasures, sampled its unique foods and drinks, combed through its night markets, explored its islands, participated in spiritual and cultural festivals and celebrated with its people. In his latest Taiwan episode Joseph dips into his previous Taiwan adventures, picks the best of his experiences and answers the question, “Why Taiwan?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1205 - South Africa – Into the Wild!\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph heads back to his first African adventure when he safaris through South Africa for close encounters with its animals and people. His journey begins in Cape Town, South Africa’s mother city, so called because it’s the country’s oldest. Then in the shadow of the city’s landmark Table Mountain, he visits South Africa’s oldest wine country and samples some of South Africa's finest wines. While we can expect to find lions and elephants on Joseph’s African journey, at the Cape of Good Hope Joseph also introduces us to ostriches and a colony of three thousand African Penguins. The climax of the episode is Joseph’s safari at Shamwari Game Reserve, a 61,000 acre preserve. Equally as inspiring as Joseph’s experience being surrounded by the multitude of Shamwari’s amazing animal residents is his experience in Alicedale, an abandoned rail town on the edge of the reserve. There he learns that sustainable tourism, attracted by the game reserve, has given the people new hope. In a dramatic moment of illustrated truth, Joseph’s South African journey teaches us that although predators kill by instinct, people choose whether to attack or embrace each other and choice is what makes us human and allows us to celebrate our connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1206 - South Padre Island, TX\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph heads to South Padre Island for a host of activities that highlight the many pleasures available to visitors to the longest barrier island on the South Texas Coast. Besides enjoying the local's favorite pastime of kicking’ back and breathing in the sweet sea breezes, Joseph partakes of the islands’ many natural and manmade attractions. From fishing to bird watching and horseback riding, from building sand castles to kayaking the lagoon and hitting the surf, Joseph joins in the fun. A highlight of his visit is his in-depth visit to the only Sea Turtle rescue set in the United States -- South Padre Island Sea Turtle, Inc. To round out his stay he follows the Sandcastle Trail and Sea Turtle Art Trail and proves that South Padre Island has something to offer every visitor and the best time to visit is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1207 - France – Cruising on the Lot \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph and his crew navigate a watery path under the craggy cliffs and dramatic escarpments of Southwest France. Winding their way by boat through the Lot River Valley they capture Joseph’s journey through the river’s ancient locks and the region’s magical villages. Among the many treasures, the episode features are Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, classified as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”, the Château de Mercuès, with its Michelin star restaurant and award-winning winery, as well as, the region’s capital, Cahors, which boasts historic bridges, secret gardens and one of the best marchés – farmer's markets -- in Southwest France. Joseph offers his viewers a taste of the region’s abundance of riches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1208 - Alaska – America’s Last Frontier\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joseph looks back to his first voyage through Alaska’s Inside Passage to the land and the people of America’s Last Frontier. His ocean-going vessel carries him through Canadian waters to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and on through Alaska’s inside passage to Juneau, Skagway and Sitka. Along the way, the ship stops in Tracy Arm Fjord to catch nature’s show headlined by Bald Eagles and Gray, Orca and Humpback whales. Further explorations take him to Alaska’s capital, Juneau and while no roads lead to Juneau visitors still come to trek its glaciers, kayak its rivers and ski its mountains. Joseph’s Alaskan journey of discovery continues in the Klondike Gold Rush town of Skagway and in historic Sitka where he explores its Russian roots. On his Inside Passage journey, he meets the Tsimshian people and learns of their struggle to retain their language, rich culture and ancient ceremonies. Alaska is America’s Last Frontier and every Alaskan has a story to tell about what brought them and what keeps them there. In the end, Joseph discovers that they came for the land, but they stayed for the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Underwritten by: EVA Airways, No Jet Lag\u003cbr>\nLocal Underwriting: available with non-compete of national underwriter\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Producer: Julie Rosendo, \u003ca href=\"mailto:julie@travelscope.net\">julie@travelscope.net\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presenting Station: KQED, San Francisco\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>About APT:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cu>American Public Television \u003c/u>(APT) is the leading syndicator of high-quality, top-rated programming to the nation’s public television stations.

Starting in Reno – the biggest little city in the world – Leslie finds the hottest food spots. Then, she takes a step back in time to visit historic Virginia City famed in the mid-1800s for silver mining, gunslinging, and Mark Twain. Today, the region’s spectacular mountains (and clear waters) are inspiring creators of developing distilleries, grass-fed beef producers, and local chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 2: Chinatown, San Francisco, California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCovering 24 blocks and five zip codes, San Francisco’s Chinatown is home to barbeque pork, steamed bao, dragon beard candy and enough dim sum to fill the table. There's no one better than local celebrity chef, Martin Yan, to show Leslie around and discover hidden gems tucked in these busy streets. These two are quite the duo singing and laughing their way through the labyrinth of shops and eateries. But she couldn’t leave the enclave without a lesson in tea and a visit to famed Chef George Chen’s elegant Shanghai retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 3: Vienna, Austria\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nVienna, city of music and city of dreams, is a study in history and good taste. From dramatic architecture on the stately Ringstrasse to cozy coffee houses, sausages and schnitzel to Sachertorte and Sekt, it's a culinary traveler's delight. Leslie unlocks childhood memories of Vienna while visiting traditional spots, and uncovers new local hangouts including a sunny beach perfect for a picnic in this land-locked country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 4: Calistoga, California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAncient hot springs and volcanic rock define modern vineyards and a new way to dine in Calistoga. Visiting geysers erupting from deep within the earth, Leslie joins with local wine growers to discover the secrets around American wine’s place in the world. In the process, a\u003cbr>\nlittle relaxing romp in the mud, a lesson at the potter's wheel, and eclectic recipes for fried chicken and kale salad from a Michelin-starred chef make the visit to Calistoga rewarding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 5: Undiscovered Danube, Europe\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSmall towns hug the Danube – one of the world’s most picturesque rivers – on its journey through Austria, Germany, and Slovakia to the Black Sea. Anchored by medieval fortresses, Leslie lets down her hair indulging in local delicacies in one village’s castle tower. The steep river hillsides are laden with vineyards and apricot orchards producing world-class libations. Leslie explores this rich agricultural area, tasting and making the ancient and famed Linzertorte\u003cbr>\nalong the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 6: Asheville, North Carolina\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nJust outside the city of Asheville, North Carolina, lies an American landmark -- The Biltmore. The Vanderbilt family built their sprawling estate in the late 1800s. Not only is this magnificent property reminiscent of Downton Abby, it houses the most visited winery in the country. Downtown Asheville has a vibrant and growing beer brewing industry, too. Combined with North Carolina’s pork BBQ, it’s a winning combination.

Starting in Reno – the biggest little city in the world – Leslie finds the hottest food spots. Then, she takes a step back in time to visit historic Virginia City famed in the mid-1800s for silver mining, gunslinging, and Mark Twain. Today, the region’s spectacular mountains (and clear waters) are inspiring creators of developing distilleries, grass-fed beef producers, and local chefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 2: Chinatown, San Francisco, California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCovering 24 blocks and five zip codes, San Francisco’s Chinatown is home to barbeque pork, steamed bao, dragon beard candy and enough dim sum to fill the table. There's no one better than local celebrity chef, Martin Yan, to show Leslie around and discover hidden gems tucked in these busy streets. These two are quite the duo singing and laughing their way through the labyrinth of shops and eateries. But she couldn’t leave the enclave without a lesson in tea and a visit to famed Chef George Chen’s elegant Shanghai retreat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 3: Vienna, Austria\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nVienna, city of music and city of dreams, is a study in history and good taste. From dramatic architecture on the stately Ringstrasse to cozy coffee houses, sausages and schnitzel to Sachertorte and Sekt, it's a culinary traveler's delight. Leslie unlocks childhood memories of Vienna while visiting traditional spots, and uncovers new local hangouts including a sunny beach perfect for a picnic in this land-locked country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 4: Calistoga, California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAncient hot springs and volcanic rock define modern vineyards and a new way to dine in Calistoga. Visiting geysers erupting from deep within the earth, Leslie joins with local wine growers to discover the secrets around American wine’s place in the world. In the process, a\u003cbr>\nlittle relaxing romp in the mud, a lesson at the potter's wheel, and eclectic recipes for fried chicken and kale salad from a Michelin-starred chef make the visit to Calistoga rewarding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 5: Undiscovered Danube, Europe\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nSmall towns hug the Danube – one of the world’s most picturesque rivers – on its journey through Austria, Germany, and Slovakia to the Black Sea. Anchored by medieval fortresses, Leslie lets down her hair indulging in local delicacies in one village’s castle tower. The steep river hillsides are laden with vineyards and apricot orchards producing world-class libations. Leslie explores this rich agricultural area, tasting and making the ancient and famed Linzertorte\u003cbr>\nalong the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Episode 6: Asheville, North Carolina\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nJust outside the city of Asheville, North Carolina, lies an American landmark -- The Biltmore. The Vanderbilt family built their sprawling estate in the late 1800s. Not only is this magnificent property reminiscent of Downton Abby, it houses the most visited winery in the country. Downtown Asheville has a vibrant and growing beer brewing industry, too. Combined with North Carolina’s pork BBQ, it’s a winning combination. Leslie hikes off the calories in the area’s\u003cbr>\nstunning state parks where movies from the Hunger Games to Dirty Dancing were filmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Media Contact: \u003c/strong>Kristen Green-Kutch, Kristen Green Public Relations, \u003ca href=\"mailto:kgreenpr@kristengreen.com\">kgreenpr@kristengreen.com\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10941\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pressroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-800x571.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"571\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-800x571.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-160x114.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-768x549.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-1020x729.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/63/2019/08/LeslieSbroccoHeadshot-1200x857.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cstrong>Leslie Sbrocco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An award-winning author, speaker, consultant, and television host, Leslie Sbrocco is known for her entertaining approach to wine and food, as well as inspiring others to live a life of passion.

But recently, soaring tuition costs have many reevaluating the belief that a four-year degree is the best route toward a fulfilling life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, the declining popularity of vocational schools combined with a retiring workforce has opened up huge skills gaps in trades from woodworking to cosmetology. With most jobs requiring on-the-job training or certifications rather than four-year degrees, skilled trades hold plenty of promise—but not many young adults have been exposed to their true potential. Roadtrip Nation’s new documentary, “Skill Powered” is on a mission to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Skill Powered” follows three young adults—Alex, Shyane, and Ryan—as they shadow people across the country who are forging their own ways within their trades. All of the roadtrippers are intrigued by different skill-focused careers, but none of them have a set path planned—yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" size=\"large\" ids=\"10717,10716,10715,10714,10713,10712,10711,10710,10709\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently working in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, Ryan is the only roadtripper who already has extensive experience within a trade. But he still has more he wants to accomplish in his field, and hopes that this trip will introduce him to certifications and training programs that can advance him toward his eventual goal of owning his own HVAC company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After he was sidelined by an injury, roadtripper Alex’s college soccer career ended abruptly. Soon afterwards, he realized that his major wasn’t going to lead him to the job of his dreams. Now he’s searching for what’s next—he recently took an interest in scuba diving, and wants to find a mentor who can help him get the training he needs to pursue a scuba-centric career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyane had plans to attend college, but it hasn’t worked out. Even so, she doesn’t want her lack of a degree to relegate her to a passionless job. She hopes the road trip will show her how others created steady, fulfilling careers through means outside of earning a four-year degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 24 days and 3,000 miles, the team’s interviews and shared experiences gradually start to reshape what they’d thought about skilled trades. During a visit to Los Angeles Trade–Technical College, welding professor Lisa Legohn teaches the crew about her craft—and shakes up their definitions of “passion.” In Santa Fe, principal contractor and designer Mark Giorgetti inspires Ryan to broaden his horizons and look into LEED certification. And in Oklahoma City, Kimberly Leser, curator of behavioral husbandry and animal welfare at the Oklahoma City Zoo, helps Shyane realize that her love of animals could blossom into a viable career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In telling the nuanced stories of people powering skilled trades across the country, “Skill Powered” uncovers the skill, precision, and most importantly, passion being put into jobs that had previously been portrayed as “dead-end” or “dirty,”—and proves that there are always infinite ways to build yourself a better life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Roadtripper Bios\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shyane\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Porter, TX\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyane is ready to take off in a million directions. But while she’s got the energy to push toward any goal and the resolve to work hard, she knows that what she really needs right now is guidance. All of that drive and curiosity without experience isn’t enough to get her where she wants to go and get her past the financial hardship she grew up with. Right now, her sights are set on working on a cruise ship—but she’s ready for any adventure, even if it means long hours and being away from home. She’s hoping that this trip is the spark she needs to start that journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alexander\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 23\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Torrance, CA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander has been camping since he was a kid, and you can regularly find him spearfishing off the coast of California, where he grew up. Being a camp counselor was the first time he realized that he needed to be outside for a living—but it was also when he realized he didn’t have the training for the jobs he wanted. He has a college degree—but without applied training he’s feeling lost. Working in nature gives him a sense of direction. He wants to meet people working in the outdoors who are happy and supporting their families, to see if it’s a life he could build for himself, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ryan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 24\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Asheville, NC\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan’s parents didn’t work in the trades, but it’s the memory of visiting his dad—stuck in a cubicle at work—that made Ryan certain that he didn’t want to be in an office. He’s been working in HVAC for three years now. He grew up with a love for baseball and football, and his two brothers made sure he turned out tough and ready to handle anything. The three of them want to start their own business together.

But recently, soaring tuition costs have many reevaluating the belief that a four-year degree is the best route toward a fulfilling life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, the declining popularity of vocational schools combined with a retiring workforce has opened up huge skills gaps in trades from woodworking to cosmetology. With most jobs requiring on-the-job training or certifications rather than four-year degrees, skilled trades hold plenty of promise—but not many young adults have been exposed to their true potential. Roadtrip Nation’s new documentary, “Skill Powered” is on a mission to change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Skill Powered” follows three young adults—Alex, Shyane, and Ryan—as they shadow people across the country who are forging their own ways within their trades. All of the roadtrippers are intrigued by different skill-focused careers, but none of them have a set path planned—yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Soon afterwards, he realized that his major wasn’t going to lead him to the job of his dreams. Now he’s searching for what’s next—he recently took an interest in scuba diving, and wants to find a mentor who can help him get the training he needs to pursue a scuba-centric career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyane had plans to attend college, but it hasn’t worked out. Even so, she doesn’t want her lack of a degree to relegate her to a passionless job. She hopes the road trip will show her how others created steady, fulfilling careers through means outside of earning a four-year degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 24 days and 3,000 miles, the team’s interviews and shared experiences gradually start to reshape what they’d thought about skilled trades. During a visit to Los Angeles Trade–Technical College, welding professor Lisa Legohn teaches the crew about her craft—and shakes up their definitions of “passion.” In Santa Fe, principal contractor and designer Mark Giorgetti inspires Ryan to broaden his horizons and look into LEED certification. And in Oklahoma City, Kimberly Leser, curator of behavioral husbandry and animal welfare at the Oklahoma City Zoo, helps Shyane realize that her love of animals could blossom into a viable career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In telling the nuanced stories of people powering skilled trades across the country, “Skill Powered” uncovers the skill, precision, and most importantly, passion being put into jobs that had previously been portrayed as “dead-end” or “dirty,”—and proves that there are always infinite ways to build yourself a better life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Roadtripper Bios\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Shyane\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Porter, TX\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyane is ready to take off in a million directions. But while she’s got the energy to push toward any goal and the resolve to work hard, she knows that what she really needs right now is guidance. All of that drive and curiosity without experience isn’t enough to get her where she wants to go and get her past the financial hardship she grew up with. Right now, her sights are set on working on a cruise ship—but she’s ready for any adventure, even if it means long hours and being away from home. She’s hoping that this trip is the spark she needs to start that journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alexander\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 23\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Torrance, CA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander has been camping since he was a kid, and you can regularly find him spearfishing off the coast of California, where he grew up. Being a camp counselor was the first time he realized that he needed to be outside for a living—but it was also when he realized he didn’t have the training for the jobs he wanted. He has a college degree—but without applied training he’s feeling lost. Working in nature gives him a sense of direction. He wants to meet people working in the outdoors who are happy and supporting their families, to see if it’s a life he could build for himself, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ryan\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Age 24\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Asheville, NC\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan’s parents didn’t work in the trades, but it’s the memory of visiting his dad—stuck in a cubicle at work—that made Ryan certain that he didn’t want to be in an office. He’s been working in HVAC for three years now. He grew up with a love for baseball and football, and his two brothers made sure he turned out tough and ready to handle anything. The three of them want to start their own business together. You don’t need a four-year degree to be successful, he says—he wants to prove that you can live a great life by working in the trades, and he wants his life to be an example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Roadtrip Nation Skill Powered Featured Interviews and Locations\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>Los Angeles, CA\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Lisa Legohn\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Master Welder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Laura Zahn, Founder, \u003cem>Allied Woodshop\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>RH LeeShop, Manager, \u003cem>Offerman Woodshop\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Las Vegas, NV\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Leticia Nunez, Executive Chef, \u003cem>Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mike Hall, Head of Musical Instrument Technician Department, \u003cem>Blue Man Group\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Scott Dahl, Head of Audio, Blue Man Group\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Fe, NM\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Mark Giorgetti, Principal, \u003cem>Palo Santo Designs\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Peter Page, Owner & President, \u003cem>AMENERGY\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oklahoma City, OK\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Kimberly Leser, Curator of Animal Behavior & Welfare, \u003cem>Oklahoma City Zoo\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Auburn, AL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Christine Moses, Technical Associate, \u003cem>GE Aviation\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cedric Hall, Technical Associate, \u003cem>GE Aviation\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miami, FL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bill Lamp’l, Founder, \u003cem>Grove Scuba\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Orlando, FL\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Nancy Feldman, Wardrobe & Makeup Supervisor, \u003cem>Blue Man Group\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Is your station airing \u003cem>Skill Powered\u003c/em>?

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
