Bell ExpressVu (Canada) 2.1 2 222 2 284 WGBH 2 HD 2.1 802 5026021002 782819 Cox Charter WGBH 2 RCN FiOS When Mark Samels, executive producer of WGBH’s award-winning history series American Experience, first approached producer/director Rory Kennedy three years ago to make a film about the end of the Vietnam War, she was daunted. It seemed as if the war, and its tragic end, was thoroughly documented. What could she possibly add? A lot, as it turns out. This month, as we mark the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, we’re proud to bring you our Academy Award–nominated (for Best Documentary) film Last Days in Vietnam (American Experience’s ninth Oscar nomination!). It tells the little-known story of heroic Americans who engaged in unsanctioned operations to help thousands of South Vietnamese escape Saigon during the final days of the conflict. Like all our American Experience films, this one is a living, breathing history lesson with relevance today—raising questions about why we enter wars and what it means to leave them. “As I became more and more familiar with what happened, I was struck by how little I, and many of the people I talked to, knew about the end of the war,” says Rory, for whom the Vietnam Era has special resonance—she is the youngest daughter of Ethel and Robert F. Kennedy. “I’ve screened the film in communities across the country, and the overwhelming response has been, ‘I can’t believe I didn’t know this story.’ It’s been an honor to share it.” The documentary’s pre-broadcast theatrical release also has elicited poignant responses from Vietnam veterans and Vietnamese Americans—with many telling us that Last Days prompted them to talk about the harrowing events of 1975 for the very first time. Their reactions reinforced our decision to collaborate with StoryCorps (one of the nation’s leading oral history organizations) to capture and preserve their stories. We’ve recorded nearly 100 interviews that will be shared online and archived in the Library of Congress to inspire future generations. “When we first conceived of this film,” says Samels, “we knew it was a powerful story of individual acts of courage set against a background of chaos. But we didn’t know how deeply it would resonate today.” Last Days in Vietnam anchors a series of programs focusing on the Vietnam Era (page 20), from a look at the history of the draft, to the impact of the shooting by National Guardsmen of unarmed antiwar student protesters at Kent State. Powerful stories. Fresh perspectives. All made possible by your generous support!

Through enlightening interviews and straightforward discussion of warning signs and prevention strategies, these activists explain how communities can mobilize to protect children even before harm occurs. Out of Darkness, Into Light Tue, 4/7 at 9:30pm The Power of Art Follow a Minnesota theater group as they travel to the former Terezin concentration camp (outside of Prague) to perform a musical cabaret piece created by prisoners there in 1943. Weaving together interviews with present-day performers, Holocaust survivors who witnessed the original show and scholars reflecting upon Jewish humor and history, Making Light in Terezin testifies to human resilience as well as the power of art, culture and storytelling. Making Light in Terezin Wed, 4/15 at 7pm Beyond Survival How might you redefine family if you were the only one left in yours? How could you cope when the people who murdered your family were released from prison and returned to your town? These are just two questions addressed by interviewees in Komora: To Heal, an unforgettable documentary about the orphan survivors of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and what it means for them to share their communities with perpetrators of the massacre.

Host Bob Seay (right), the program’s two producers and production director Gary Mott gather in news director Ted Canova’s standing-room-only office upstairs from 89.7’s studio. Canova calls this daily meeting “the best part of my day.” It’s informal and conversational. Someone pitches a story, then the group talks it out, refines the idea and, if worthy, Canova scribbles it somewhere on the four-weeks-out schedule covering his office’s dry-erase wall. “The better pre-planning we can do, the more thoughtful, the deeper our local coverage is,” Canova says. Along with Seay, producer Marilyn Schairer (center) and associate producer Lydia Emmanouilidou are responsible for bringing the plan to air. Schairer books the guests—the politicians, professors or other experts— and does research to help Seay prepare for interviews. Emmanouilidou’s day begins at 3am. She checks the overnight headlines, organizes a “rundown” of the day’s stories and begins writing the news script by 4am. That’s when Seay and engineer Doug Shugarts arrive to get ready for the 5am broadcast. Arriving at WGBH in 2010, Seay was responsible for every aspect of the program until Canova and Mott came on board a year later.

Sun, 4/12 at 8pm Eric in the Evening All Hail Henderson Acquaint yourself with the state of the tenor when the Sunday night jazz spotlight shines on late great saxophonist Joe Henderson. Host Eric Jackson presents some of Henderson’s classic recordings, including “Recorda Me,” “Mode for Joe” and “Power to the People.” Sun, 4/26 at 9pm “There are a lot of moving parts to Morning Edition because of the time of day,” Seay says. “Things are happening, news is breaking.” And when it does, no one is more prepared to respond than Seay. “He’s tremendously skilled at pivoting to address something developing in real time,” Schairer says. “He makes it look easy.” The whole Morning Edition team can adapt when circumstances call for it. They slept at the office during this winter’s blizzard, Emmanouilidou on an air mattress next to her desk. “We couldn’t chance not making it in,” Seay says. “Listeners count on us being here.” Listen to Morning Edition, 5am–10am, on 89.7 WGBH.

WCRB has a special month of Sunday nights planned for you, and there’s a lovely bonus. Let me explain. First, I hope you’re enjoying Sunday Night at the Opera, hosted by Cathy Fuller every Sunday at 8pm. In this weekly visit to the magical world of opera, we feature a rich mixture of standard repertoire as well as some operas you might consider discoveries. Plus, we choose a mix of recordings that blends the legendary with the contemporary so we can pay homage to the great voices of eras past yet still bring you new recordings by today’s vocal stars. In April, well, you could say we’re making a deal with the devil. The theme for the month—at least the first three Sundays—is the Faust legend, and we’ll begin on April 5th with the best known of these works, Gounod’s Faust. We’ll present a superb recording filled with some of the most beautiful arias in all of French opera, performed by Richard Leech, Cheryl Studer and José Van Dam, with Michel Plasson conducting. We’ll follow a week later with Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust. Once again Richard Leech plays the troubled hero in this dynamic recording conducted by Charles Dutoit. For our third visit with the devil (April 19th at 8:30pm), we’ll turn to Arrigo Boito—he was Verdi’s librettist for Otello and Falstaff—and his rarely performed gem Mefistofele. The recording we’ve chosen has Norman Treigle in the title role, Placido Domingo as Faust, Monserrat Caballe as Margherita and Julius Rudel conducting. Our opera focus has another aspect to it: some say that Don Giovanni is in many ways a devilish character. I agree, and on April 22, WCRB will host a staging rehearsal and discussion with some of the stars of Boston Lyric Opera’s production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni.

(For more information and to get your tickets, visit wgbh.org/events.) Then, to complete the experience, on Sunday, April 26th at 8pm, we’ll play the Colin Davis–led recording of the Mozart masterpiece; Ingvar Wixell heads a cast that includes Martina Arroyo, Stuart Burrows and Kiri Te Kanawa. You’ll be an expert on this amazing opera by the time the BLO’s Don Giovanni opens later that week. There’s also a 90-minute Sunday Night Special on April 19th at 7pm featuring the vocal group Tenet performing Monteverdi’s Vespers for the Feast of St. John the Baptist. This concert, recorded by WCRB at Cambridge’s St. Paul Parish, takes you back to the splendors of Venice and the amazingly rich harmonies of Monteverdi’s incredible choral music. And one final heads-up: April marks the beginning of the baseball season. To help the Red Sox start on the right note, WCRB will use Opening Day—Monday, April 6th—to line up the hits. It’s our small way of playing all the great music we have and inspiring the Sox to generate some offense! Enjoy the music, and see you next month.

By Mindy Todd, WCAI host and managing director for editorial You know spring has arrived when horticulturist and entomologist Roberta Clark returns to our airwaves. Roberta joins me once a month on The Point (weekdays, 9am), from April through September, to talk gardening. We discuss our own successes and struggles and hear from listeners with questions and stories about their gardens. Believe it or not, there’s an upside to all the snow we received this year. “The snow benefited plants because it acted as a layer of insulation from the extreme low temperatures we had in February,” Roberta says. At the start of a new season, Roberta preaches patience. “April is often a frustrating month, as the weather can be quite fickle,” she says. “I like to have a wish list for April but often don’t get as much done as I want until May.” Listeners have been turning to Roberta with their gardening challenges for many years, and it is always fun to hear green thumbs from across the Cape, Coast and Islands share their tips.

It is a challenge but clearly can be done.” Her advice for April: don’t worry if you don’t get out there as soon as you’d like. “There are many seeds that can be sown in early April if the ground has thawed, but seeds sown at the end of the month, when soil temperatures have risen a bit, will germinate faster and often catch up with those sown at the beginning,” she says. “I enjoy April more for the green wave of buds and leaves that begin to appear, along with the early spring crocus and the rising chorus of birdsong!” 6am 7am 8am 10am 11am 12pm 1pm 2pm 3pm 4pm 5pm 6pm 8pm 9pm 10pm 12am BBC World Update Living on Earth Weekend Edition Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!
