According to a 2022 YouGov poll thirty-four percent of Americans believe that UFOs are proof of extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Others believe that these are flying objects that our government won’t (for security reasons) or can’t identify. Still others don’t know what to think. The NOVA documentary WHAT ARE UFOS?, premiering on PBS Wednesday, January 22, also available for streaming on pbs.org/nova, Nova on YouTube, and the PBS app, investigates all of this. During the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in Pasadena, California, former U.S. Navy Lieutenant and F/A-18F pilot Ryan Graves, producer/ director / writer Terri Randall, NOVA co-executive […]Read On »

In HOLIDAZED, the eight-episode miniseries now streaming in its entirety on the Hallmark+ Channel, Virginia Madsen plays Connie Manetti-Hanahan. Connie’s husband Chuck (John C.

It is perhaps impossible to overstate the influence of the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519, on subsequent civilization. Scientist, inventor, engineer, painter, sculptor and architect, da Vinci did so much that exploring his entire life seems a Herculean task. But that’s exactly what filmmakers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon set out to do with their four-hour documentary LEONARDO DA VINCI, which airs on PBS over two nights, Monday, November 18, and Tuesday, November 19. During PBS’s portion of the summer 2024 Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Sarah Burns (Ken Burns’s daughter) and McMahon (Sarah Burn’s husband) […]Read On »

Dappen is especially intrigued by the intersection of wild creatures and […]Read On »
