Great-sounding shows on PBS for shut-ins

Unread post

As a public service, I'll list some PBS shows for April that may help pass the time while we're more indoors. All these series from Netflix, Amazon, etc. get a little exhausting for me.

April 7 & 14 Ken Burns presents "The Gene: An Intimate History."
April 21 "The Man Who Tried to Feed the World: American Experience" (Norman Borlaug, of The
Wizard and the Prophet
)
April 22 "Climate Change: The Facts," with David Attenborough
April 22 (three parts) "H20: The Molecule that Made Us"

Other worthwhile shows as well throughout the month. Check the PBS website.

I watch a lot of PBS; will be sure and check these out. Anything by Ken Burns and/or David Attenborough is definitely worth watching.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. -Robert A. Heinlein
