This American Life coming to TV?

Quoted: Ira Glass groupies.

This is a great cooking show on PBS. They take a very scientific approach to cooking, and to tasting. Each episode features a very thorough equipment review (my rock star pepper grinder is their #1 choice), and the recipes are solid gold. The big downside is that the recipe archive is "for subscribers only".

Caught the Austin City Limits episode featuring Death Cab for Cutie and My Morning Jacket tonight. Both groups were outstanding, I highly recommend checking it out if you see it on one of your 47 PBS stations ...

Watched this last night -- remarkable. Incredibly informative and really well presented. I had no idea how bad this was. Just one of the many standout statistics -- 50% of foster children in Oregon are there because of meth use.

Quoted: Speed. Meth. Glass. On the street, methamphetamine has many names. What started as a fad among motorcycle gangs in the 1970s has become big business, largely due to the efforts of two Mexican drug runners who began smuggling ephedrine -- the same chemical used to make over-the-counter cold remedies -- into California by the ton. Hundreds of illegal meth labs are now operating in the western United States, and the effects are sweeping the nation. From coast to coast, meth abuse is on the rise, but who's responsible? Is the government doing enough to crack down on this latest drug craze? On January 31, in a reporting partnership with The Oregonian, FRONTLINE investigates America's addiction to meth and exposes the inherent conflict between the illegal drug trade and the legitimate three-billion-dollar cold remedy business.

Interesting Nova program about how Eastern Washington's Scablands were formed.

Quoted: In this companion Web site to the NOVA program Mystery of the Megaflood, explore the Channeled Scabland through an interactive map, read an interview with geologist Vic Baker, take a geology quiz, visit our teacher's guide, and more.

Watched this tonight -- pretty interesting. I definitely learned a few things. Not as interesting as "The Jesus Factor", which was the last one this producer did, but good nonetheless.

Quoted: Today, the headlines are filled with speculation about changes in the U.S. Supreme Court and what those changes might mean for abortion -- an issue that has divided the country for over 30 years. But while the spotlight is on Washington, there is an equally significant story playing out in local communities. Pro-life advocates have waged a successful campaign to limit access to abortion by spearheading legislation at the state leve. By using state laws to regulate and limit abortion and by creating their own clinics to offer alternatives to women, they have changed the facts on the ground. On Nov. 8, FRONTLINE investigates the steady decline in the number of physicians and clinics performing abortions and focuses on local political battles in states like Mississippi, where only a single abortion clinic performs the controversial procedure.
