>> AND SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
YOU'RE IN WYOMING.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU AS
YOU LOOK AT YOUR PARTY, THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY, GOING FORWARD
WITH THIS KIND OF ALLEGIANCE TO
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE
DENIAL OF THE LAST ELECTION?
>> YEAH.
I DON'T THINK WHAT SARAH SAYS IS
WRONG.
WE CERTAINLY SAW DOWN BLOT THE
REAL POWER OF DONALD TRUMP'S
FORCE IN THIS ELECTION.
WE HAVE A SECRETARY OF STATE
WHO'S AN ELECTION DENIER.
BUT MAYBE I'M A LITTLE BIT MORE
OPTIMISTIC.
I STILL BELIEVE IF WE CAN GET
ENOUGH PEOPLE OF COURAGE AND
INTEGRITY AND CALL TRUTH TRUTH
AND LIE, LIE THAT WE CAN CHANGE
THE DIRECTION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
MAY NOT BE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
IT WAS YESTERDAY, BUT CERTAINLY
A LOT BETTER THAN IT IS TODAY.
>> SARAH, HOW DO YOU SEE THAT
HAPPENING?
WHAT ARGUMENTS DO YOU MAKE TO
EITHER REPUBLICANS WHO ARE TODAY
LOYAL TO DONALD TRUMP OR TO
OTHERS WHO YOU MIGHT BRING TO
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO STAND UP
TO THAT BUT STILL IDENTIFY WITH
THE CORE OF WHAT THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY BELIEVES, WHATEVER THAT
STILL IS?
>> YEAH.
THERE'S REALLY TWO THINGS TO DO.
ONE IS YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT THESE
DANGEROUS ANTIDEMOCRACY
CANDIDATES IN THIS UPCOMING 2022
ELECTION.
SO SWING VOTERS HAVE GOT TO
REJECT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO
ARE ELECTION DENIERS, BECAUSE IT
IS ONLY THROUGH
>> HI.

DID YOU KNOW THAT HORSES

DOING YOUR PART.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT RIGHT NOW,
1-800-236-3636.

HEAR FROM PEOPLE ALL THE TIME
HOW MUCH THEY LOVE "NATURE."
OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL, BUT
"NATURE."
IT'S BEEN ON PBS WISCONSIN FOR
MANY YEARS, AND IF YOU THINK
ABOUT IT AND THINK OF HOW LONG
YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING IT AND

EXCELLENCE, THESE ARE
BEAUTIFULLY-MADE PROGRAMS.

PLEDGE.
>> JAMES IS RIGHT.
"NATURE" IS ONE OF THE MOST
LOVED PROGRAMS ON PBS.
IF "NATURE" IS LIKE AN OLD
FRIEND TO YOU, IF PBS WISCONSIN
IS A CONSTANT COMPANION, WHY NOT
MAKE THAT CALL RIGHT NOW AND

I DON'T LIKE TO CLOG UP MY PHONE
WITH APPS.
IT'S ALL AVAILABLE TO YOU, THIS

HALLMARKS, LIKE "MASTERPIECE"

LIKE THAT.

KINDS OF OTHER PROGRAMS, SOME OF
OUR MOST POPULAR, LIKE "AROUND
THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS."
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT NOW,
1-800-236-3636.
>> YOU KNOW, "NATURE" IS REALLY
A TRADITION FOR A LOT OF
FAMILIES, SOMETHING THAT THEY
HAVE WATCHED FOR YEARS, AND ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT IS REALLY
WONDERFUL ABOUT IT IS THAT IT'S
A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO KIDS
ABOUT THE GREAT OUTDOORS.
WISCONSIN IS A STATE THAT
TREASURES ITS OUTDOORS,
TREASURES ITS ENVIRONMENT.
"NATURE" TAKES US AROUND THE
WORLD, TO PLACES THAT MAYBE
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO VISIT TODAY
OR TOMORROW.
MAYBE YOU'LL NEVER GET THERE.
BUT YOU CAN SEE THEM ON
"NATURE."
YOU CAN SEE THEM ON PBS
WISCONSIN.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL THINGS ABOUT PBS
WISCONSIN, IS THAT IT REALLY
OPENS THE DOORS TO THE WORLD IN
WAYS THAT NOBODY ELSE IS GOING
TO DO, YOU KNOW?
IT'S REALLY A WONDERFUL THING.
IT'S A WONDERFUL GIFT FOR YOUR
KIDS TO SHARE THIS WITH THEM.
WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
WE NEED YOU TO DO YOUR PART BY
CALLING US AT 1-800-236-3636 AND
MAKE YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT.

LIVE TONIGHT.

ON YOUR OWN TO WIND DOWN AFTER A
LONG DAY AND ENJOY THE WORLD
BROUGHT TO YOU BY "NATURE" OR

AND WHEN YOU CALL NOW TO SHOW
YOUR SUPPORT, WE'VE GOT SOME
WONDERFUL WAYS TO SAY THANK YOU.
AT $10 A MONTH, WE CAN SAY THANK
YOU WITH THE HORSE TOTE THAT'S
SO USEFUL.
IT'S CLASSY.

IT'S EXCITING AND YOU CAN TAKE
IT ANYWHERE.
OR YOU CAN CHOOSE THE DVD OF
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM IF THAT'S HOW
YOU'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO WATCH
THIS PROGRAM AND LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE AMERICAN HORSE.
AT THE $20 LEVEL WE CAN SAY
THANK YOU WITH THAT THREE-DVD
SET OF TWO "NATURE" PROGRAMS,
ONE "NOVA" AND THE HORSE TOTE
ALTOGETHER.
YOU CAN PUT ALL THREE IN THE
TOTE.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY CALLING
1-800-236-3636.
>> WE'RE GOING TO RETURN TO
"AMERICAN HORSES" IN JUST A
SECOND, BUT YOU STILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
FOR "NATURE" AND ALL OF THE
GREAT PROGRAMS HERE ON PBS
WISCONSIN.
YOU REALLY WON'T FIND QUALITY
LIKE THIS ANYWHERE ELSE BUT ON
PBS.
LIKE JAMES WAS SAYING, THE
STANDARD, WE REALLY SET THE BAR
FOR "NATURE" PROGRAMS ON PBS.
EVERYBODY ELSE KIND OF ASPIRES
TO REACH THE SORT OF QUALITY,
THE LOCATIONS WE GO TO, THE
PHOTOGRAPHY, IS INSANE.
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES THIS PROGRAM
AND ALL OF THE GREAT PROGRAMS
HERE ON PBS WISCONSIN POSSIBLE.
WHEN YOU SHOW YOUR SUPPORT, YOU
GET "AIRWAVES," YOU GET PBS
PASSPORT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO

BORN CURIOUS.
WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?
HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK?
HOW DOES A COMPUTER WORK?
THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH ALL OF US
KEEP THROUGH OUR LIVES,
CURIOSITY ABOUT HOW THE WORLD
WORKS.
"NATURE" IS A TERRIFIC PROGRAM
FOR GETTING AN UNDERSTANDING OF
THE NATURAL WORLD.
"NOVA," WONDERFUL PROGRAM,
PHYSICS.
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE
PROGRAMS ON PBS WISCONSIN, KIDS'
SHOWS, TERRIFIC EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS.
IN FACT, PBS SETS THE STANDARD
FOR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS AS WELL
AS NATURE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS
DOCUMENTARIES.
"FRONTLINE," WHAT A SHOW.
CALL US NOW DURING THIS
CHALLENGE BREAK AND PLEDGE.
1-800-236-3636.
THANKS.
>> IT IS A CHALLENGE BREAK, SO
THAT MEANS YOUR NEW CONTRIBUTION
WILL GO TWICE AS FAR IF YOU CALL

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU WALK,
TROT, KANTER OR GALLOP, AS LONG
AS YOU GO TO pbswisconsin.org
OR GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-236-3636 AND WE CAN SAY
THANK YOU TO YOU IN SOME VERY
SPECIAL WAYS WITH A DVD OF
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM SO YOU CAN
WATCH IT AGAIN AND REALLY ENJOY
THESE STORIES ABOUT THE AMERICAN
HORSE, THE PLACE WHERE HORSES
FIRST CAME.
OR USING THE TOTE, THE TOTE.
AT THE SAME LEVEL, FOR $10 A
MONTH WE CAN SAY THANK YOU WITH
THE WONDERFUL HORSE TOTE THAT'S
SO USEFUL IN SO MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS AND WHEN YOU CARRY IT
AROUND, PEOPLE CAN SAY WHERE DID
YOU GET THAT TOTE?
I LOVE HORSES, TOO.
YOU CAN SAY I GOT IT BECAUSE I'M
A SUPPORTER OF PBS WISCONSIN.
THE WAY YOU CAN BECOME A
SUPPORTER OF PBS WISCONSIN IS TO
CALL 1-800-236-3636.
>> "NATURE" IS ABOUT THE WORLD
AROUND US, THE ENTIRE WORLD.
WE DON'T JUST COVER NATURE HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES OR THE
AMERICAS.
THEY GO ALL OVER.
YOUR SUPPORT IS WHAT MAKES THIS
PROGRAM SO GOOD.
IT'S AS MUCH ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY
AS IT IS ABOUT NATURE ITSELF,
THE ABILITY TO CONVEY LIKE THE
POWER OF THE HORSE.
I WAS SO EX SILL RATED WHEN THEY
SHOWED HOW QUICKLY THAT HORSE
COULD MANEUVER.
MY HEART IS STILL POUNDING FROM
SEEING THAT.
IF THAT IS THE SORT OF EMOTIONS
YOU FEEL WHEN YOU WATCH THIS
PROGRAM, IF IT INSPIRES YOU, IF
YOU FEEL PROUD OF THE FACT THAT
HORSES ORIGINATED IN THE
AMERICAS, SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.
A LITTLE BIT OF THE AMERICAS
RIGHT HERE.

THANK MEMBERS OF THE DIRECTORS'
CIRCLE, FOLKS WHO HAVE MEANS TO
SET ASIDE $1,000 AS A GIFT TO
PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU MAY BE IN A POSITION TO DO

NOW YOU ARE.
JUST CONSIDER THAT BECAUSE THAT
KIND OF SUPPORT, THAT
EXTRAORDINARY SUPPORT, MAKES AN
ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE FOR US IN
OUR ABILITY TO PURCHASE, TO GET
THESE PROGRAMS.
ANOTHER WAY I THINK ABOUT IT IS
THAT THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I
REALLY COULDN'T AFFORD TO
SUPPORT PUBLIC TELEVISION.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT GOING
ON, YOU HAVE KIDS AT HOME.
NOW I FEEL LIKE IN A WAY WHAT
I'M DOING IS HELPING MY NEIGHBOR
WHO MAY BE IN THAT POSITION, WHO
IS NOT ABLE TO MAKE A GIFT, BUT
I CAN MAKE A GIFT ON THEIR
BEHALF.
I MEAN, HOWEVER YOU THINK ABOUT
IT, WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THE
COMMUNITY OF PUBLIC TELEVISION
VIEWERS.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE WAITING
FOR YOU TO CALL.
WHEN YOU CALL AND PLEDGE YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY DURING THIS
CHALLENGE BREAK, THEY'RE GOING
TO SAY THANK YOU.
THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR GIFT
MEANS TO, AS JAMES SAID,
BRINGING PBS WISCONSIN TO AN
ENTIRE COMMUNITY, ENTIRE STATE.
AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU,
TOO.
AT ALL OF THE GIFT LEVELS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE TODAY, WE'RE GOING

MONTHLY "AIRWAVES" PUBLICATION,
OUR MONTHLY PROGRAMMING GUIDE,

MORE ABOUT THOSE PROGRAMS AND
BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF YOUR
FAVORITE PROGRAMS.
WE CAN ALSO SAY THANK YOU AT THE
LEVEL OF $10 WITH A DVD OF
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM, WITH THE
HORSE TOTE.
AND AT $20 A MONTH, THE
THREE-DVD OF THREE GREAT HORSE
PROGRAMS AND THE HORSE TOTE, ALL
FOR THAT $20 A MONTH GIFT.
ALL CAN BE YOURS.
YOUR GIFT CAN GO FURTHER BECAUSE
IT'S A CHALLENGE BREAK, WITH A
CALL TO 1-800-236-3636.
>> SHOW YOUR SUPPORT RIGHT NOW
AND GET YOUR DONATION DOUBLED.
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO DO IT.
AND YOUR SUPPORT, IT'S ACTUALLY
SUPPORTING SO MUCH MORE THAN
JUST THE GREAT PROGRAMS HERE ON
PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS,
BUT PBS WISCONSIN HAS AN AMAZING
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
APART FROM THE CHILDREN'S
PROGRAMMING, WE PUT OUT ALL
KINDS OF MATERIALS THAT TEACHERS
CAN USE DIRECTLY IN THEIR
CLASSROOMS, WISCONSIN-FOCUSED
PROGRAMS.
SO YOU'RE HELPING THE EDUCATION,
THE CULTURAL EDUCATION OF
STUDENTS ALL OVER THE STATE WITH
YOUR SUPPORT IN ADDITION TO THE
AMAZING PROGRAMS THAT YOU'RE
GETTING.
AND IF YOU MAKE THAT DONATION
RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE GETTING YOUR
IMPACT DOUBLED.
YOU CANNOT BEAT IT.
IT'S SORT OF A THREE-FER.
DO IT RIGHT NOW, 1-800-236-3636
OR pbswisconsin.org.
>> WHAT MICHELE JUST SAID IS SO
IMPORTANT.
EDUCATION, BOTH SPECIFICALLY FOR
KIDS AT SCHOOL, KIDS LEARNING AT
HOME, ALSO BROADLY.
THERE'S A LOT OF LEARNING THAT'S
GOING ON IN THIS.
ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS
IMPORTANT ABOUT PUBLIC MEDIA,
PUBLIC TELEVISION, IS THAT FROM
THE BEGINNING THE COMMITMENT HAS
BEEN TO QUALITY, TO CURIOSITY,
TO LEARNING, TO SHARING
INFORMATION.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVE
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM IS THAT, THE
"NATURE" PROGRAM, THE HORSE
SHOW, IS THAT YOU'RE LEARNING
ABOUT HORSES, BUT YOU'RE ALSO
LEARNING ABOUT PEOPLE AND THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND
THE HORSE IS EXTRAORDINARY.
THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT NURTURED
THE HORSES, CERTAINLY, BUT ALSO
MADE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY COME
TOGETHER.
THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH I REALLY
WASN'T AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF THAT.
I KNEW PEOPLE LOVED HORSES.

LITTLE BIT.

DESERVES.

MOST OF THE SUPPORT FOR THIS
STATION COMES FROM VIEWERS LIKE

AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THIS HANDY
LITTLE CHART BEHIND ME.
YES, WE DO GET STATE FUNDING,
YES, WE DO GET FEDERAL FUNDING.
BUT THE BULK OF OUR SUPPORT IS

>> YOU KNOW, YOU MAY KNOW THIS,
BUT PUBLIC BROADCASTING WAS
INVENTED IN WISCONSIN.
IT STARTED HERE AS RADIO.
IT WASN'T CALLED PUBLIC RADIO
THEN.
IT WAS QXM?
9XM.
THERE'S A RADIO PERSON HERE.
IT WAS EDUCATIONAL.
IT WAS AGRICULTURAL REPORTS,
TEACHING FOR KIDS.
THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED,
RIGHT HERE.
AND PBS WISCONSIN AT A LATER
DATE CAME ALONG AND BECAME A
PARTNER TO PUBLIC RADIO.
TOGETHER, WE GIVE YOU AN
EXTRAORDINARY RESOURCE OF
PROGRAMS: EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
AND DOCUMENTARIES LIKE THIS.
YOU CAN KEEP IT GOING.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR.
WE'RE ASKING FOR YOU TO KEEP
THIS TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE
GOING BY CALLING 1-800-236-3636,
MAKING YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT,
BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
AND WE HOPE IT GOES ON A LONG
TIME.

FOR YOUR CALL.
GO AHEAD AND MAKE THAT CALL NOW.

GOING TO GET IS FROM THEM.
BUT WE HAVE SO MANY OTHER WAYS
WE CAN SAY THANK YOU.

BAG THAT'S SPECIAL FOR TONIGHT,

JUST GO AHEAD AND VERY EASY TO
DO AND IT'S A COMPLETELY SECURE
WEBSITE.
AT $20 A MONTH, WE COULD SAY
THANK YOU TO YOU WITH A
THREE-DVD SET.
IN THAT SET YOU WOULD RECEIVE
TONIGHT'S PROGRAM, "NATURE:
AMERICAN HORSES," ANOTHER
FANTASTIC PROGRAM FROM "NATURE"

$20 A LEVEL.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR SUPPORT

>> SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR
"NATURE" AND ALL THE GREAT
PROGRAMS HERE ON PBS WISCONSIN.
$10 A MONTH GETS YOU THAT GREAT
HORSE TOTE.
I LOVE SAYING THE WORDS HORSE
TOTE.
MAKES ME LAUGH.

YOUR DONATION AT, YOU STILL GET
THE PEACE OF MIND OF KNOWING
YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE
PROGRAMMING THAT YOU LOVE.
YOU ALSO GET OUR AMAZING PROGRAM
GUIDE, "AIRWAVES."
IT'S GOT A LOT OF PROGRAMS ON
ALL OF OUR STATIONS.
THIS CAN HELP YOU SORT IT ALL
OUT.
WHEN I WAS TALKING BEFORE ABOUT
FAMILY VIEWING, GREAT PLACE TO
MAKE YOUR PLANS OF WHAT YOU WANT
YOUR FAMILY TO WATCH.
IN ADDITION, YOU ALSO GET
PASSPORT AT ANY LEVEL THAT YOU
MAKE YOUR DONATION.
BUT DO IT NOW.
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT,
1-800-236-3636.
>> SO I'D LIKE YOU TO JUST TAKE
A MINUTE AND THINK ABOUT THE
LAST HOUR WATCHING THIS PROGRAM,
THIS TERRIFIC PROGRAM, AND THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED IN
THIS.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A VERY
SPECIFIC THING, LIKE THE 50
MILLION YEARS THAT I REMEMBER,
OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MORE
GENERAL IDEA ABOUT THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HORSES AND
PEOPLE.
BUT THINK ABOUT THE VALUE OF
THIS PROGRAM AND THE VALUE OF
MANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE
HAVE ON PBS WISCONSIN.
IN FACT, ALL OF THE PROGRAMS WE
HAVE.
WHY WOULD I SAY MANY?
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
MAKE YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT.
THIS PROGRAM IS EXPENSIVE.
ALL OF THE PROGRAMS WE HAVE ARE
DONE BY SOMEBODY, BY PEOPLE HERE
AT THE STATION OR AT OTHER
PLACES, AND THEY ALL HAVE TO
MAKE A LIVING AND IT COSTS MONEY
TO GET THESE THINGS DONE.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.
YOUR VIEWERSHIP AND FINANCIAL
SUPPORT ARE CRITICAL.
CALL US, 1-800-236-3636.
MAKE YOUR PLEDGE OF SUPPORT FOR
"NATURE" AND PBS WISCONSIN.
AND THANK YOU.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT
THIS PROGRAM IS, LIKE JAMES WAS
SAYING, IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR 20
YEARS, DID YOU SAY?
20, 30 YEARS.
AND YET IT WAS SO AHEAD OF ITS
TIME.
IT IS SORT OF THE ORIGINAL
REALITY SERIES, THIS MAN WHO
GOES OUT TO TRY AND SURVIVE IN
THE WILDERNESS, FILMS IT ALL
HIMSELF.
YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE
FASCINATING, BUT IT IS
FASCINATING.
AND IT'S ALSO AHEAD OF ITS TIME
IN THE IDEA OF NOWADAYS SO MANY
MORE PEOPLE WANT TO GO OFF THE
GRID, BEYOND THE GRID, LOOKING
AT MORE OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL
BENT.
HE WAS DOING THAT 30 YEARS AGO,
EVEN BEFORE THAT.
THAT'S BECAUSE PBS IS CUTTING
EDGE.
YOU HELP MAKE THIS TYPE OF
PROGRAMMING POSSIBLE.
YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART
OF OUR FUNDING BUDGET.
SO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT RIGHT NOW.
1-800-236-3636.
>> I LOVE THAT, WHAT MICHELE WAS
JUST SAYING, THAT THIS IS LIKE
THE ULTIMATE EARLY REALITY SHOW.
IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE.
I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY
BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
HERE'S A GREAT IDEA.
BECOME A SUSTAINER.
THIS IS WHERE EVERY MONTH A
CONTRIBUTION IS MADE BY A CREDIT
CARD OR FROM YOUR BANK TO PBS

WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS IS THAT
EVERY MONTH YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS
SOMETHING WE CAN RELY ON AND, AS
YOU KNOW, RUNNING ANY BUSINESS
-- AND THIS IS A BUSINESS.
WE HAVE TO STAY IN BUSINESS.
IS SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO
HAVE SOME PREDICTABILITY.
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU

THINGS I THOUGHT WERE STRIKING.
ONE IS THIS IS SOMETHING I HAD
TO DO.
I THOUGHT, WOW, YOU HEAR PEOPLE
SAY THAT A LOT, BUT THIS WAS A
PRETTY EXTRAORDINARY THING THAT
HE HAD TO DO.
AND THEN, I WROTE IT DOWN, I HAD
TO TEST MYSELF.
WHAT AM I CAPABLE OF THAT I
DON'T KNOW YET.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO PUT
THIS.
WHAT AM I CAPABLE OF THAT I
DON'T KNOW YET.

>> YOU KNOW, WATCHING THIS SHOW,
THIS TERRIFIC PROGRAM, TWO OF
THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ARE WHEN
HE MAKES THE HINGES FOR THE
DOOR, AND I THINK, THAT'S A
BEAUTIFUL DESIGN.
SO THIS GUY HAS THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING HE'S JUST
KIND OF COME UP AND DONE.
AND THE OTHER IS WHEN HE MAKES A
SPOON.
WHAT COULD BE MORE SIMPLE THAN
MAKING A SPOON?
AND IT'S EXACTLY THE SIZE HE
NEEDS.
IT'S PERFECT FOR WHAT HE NEEDS.
THIS IS WHAT HE'S ABOUT IS WHAT
DO I NEED.
WHEN I USE THE WORD PERFECT, I
DON'T MEAN PERFECT IN AN
ABSTRACT SENSE.
I MEAN PERFECT FOR WHAT HE NEEDS
OUT THERE.
THAT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY
ACHIEVEMENT, NOT SOMETHING MANY
OF US CAN THINK ABOUT BEING ABLE
TO DO IN OUR LIVES.
BUT WE CAN AT LEAST THINK ABOUT
THAT ASPIRATION.
SO CALL US.
ASPIRE TO CALL US.

ENTIRE STATE.

TIME TO HELP YOU MEET YOUR

MATCHED.

>> SO I'M JUST LOOKING THROUGH
THE BOOK HERE.
THIS IS REALLY TERRIFIC.
THE "ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS"
BOOK, IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT DICK
PROENNEKE, SOME OF HIS FRIENDS,
SOME OF HIS FAMILY.
IT'S GOT REALLY WONDERFUL
STORIES IN IT AND, OF COURSE,
THE VISUAL STORIES ARE JUST
STRIKING.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST -- THIS IS
REALLY -- I KNOW I'M PROBABLY
GIVING A REFLECTION HERE.
I'M SORRY.
BUT THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK AT
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
AND AS MUCH AS I LOVE TV, AND I
DO, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A BOOK.
BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING WHERE
YOU GO AT YOUR OWN SPEED AND
LOOK THROUGH IT AND YOU CAN STOP
AND THINK AT ANY MOMENT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIT A BUTTON.
THIS IS A GREAT THING.
THE BOOK IS TERRIFIC.
THE TV SHOW IS TERRIFIC, TOO.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
DURING THIS CHALLENGE BREAK.
WE ARE AT TEN.

>> HI.
I'M JAMES STEINBACH.
I'M A VOLUNTEER HERE AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
AND THIS PROGRAM, THIS
REMARKABLE PROGRAM THAT WE'VE
BEEN WATCHING, THINK ABOUT THIS,
HOW MANY FOLKS THINK ABOUT
HAVING A SIMPLER LIFE, YOU KNOW?
DECLUTTERING, WHATEVER IT MIGHT
BE.
WELL, THIS GUY ACTUALLY MADE IT
HAPPEN.
IT'S SO EXTRAORDINARY TO ME THAT
HE SAID AT THE VERY BEGINNING,
WELL, I WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD
DO IT.
AND THEN HE DID, FOR 35 YEARS.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
WHEN HE BUILT THIS CABIN, JUST
WATCHING THE WAY THE LOGS FIT
TOGETHER, AND THEY WERE ALL
PERFECT.
IT'S A SKILL.
IT'S AN ABILITY TO SEE SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE AND
THEN TO ACTUALLY DO IT.
THE ADMIRATION THAT I HAVE FOR
THIS GUY IS, WELL, IT'S
EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE WHAT HE
DID IS EXTRAORDINARY.
I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN DOING
THAT, BUT I LOVE WATCHING IT.
AND THIS IS WHAT PBS WISCONSIN
BRINGS YOU.
IT OPENS UP SO MANY WORLDS THAT
YOU WOULD NEVER GET A CHANCE TO
SEE OTHERWISE.
THAT'S WHAT'S EXTRAORDINARY
ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND ABOUT PBS
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING YOU
TO CALL 1-800-236-3636.
>> THANK YOU, JAMES.
I'M ERIC GREILING.

1-800-236-3636.
>> SO DICK PROENNEKE LEFT -- I'M
GOING TO READ THIS BECAUSE I
WANT TO GET IT RIGHT.
HE LEFT TWIN LAKES FOR THE LAST
TIME IN 1999, WHEN HE WAS 82
YEARS OLD.
THE COLD AND THE HARD PHYSICAL
WORK JUST GOT TO BE TOO MUCH.
SO HE LIVED WITH HIS BROTHER IN
CALIFORNIA FOR THE LAST YEARS OF
HIS LIFE.
HE DONATED HIS CABIN TO THE PARK
SERVICE, NOW PARK OF LAKE CLARK
NATIONALNATIONAL PARK.
BUT OF COURSE HE LIVES ON IN THE
DONATED CABIN, IN THE BOOK, IN
THIS PROGRAM AND IN THE STORIES
PEOPLE TELL ABOUT HIM AND WHAT
HE'S GIVEN AS A GIFT FOR WHAT
HE'S DONE TO ALL OF US.
THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH I REALLY
VALUE ABOUT PBS WISCONSIN, IS IT
REALLY IS A GIFT.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THESE
PROGRAMS OFTEN ARE THINGS THAT
MOVE YOU, THAT INSPIRE YOU, THAT
BRING YOU TO A PLACE YOU'VE
NEVER BEEN, INTRODUCE YOUR KIDS
OR GRANDKIDS TO SOME IDEAS THEY
MAY NEVER HAVE ENCOUNTERED.
THIS IS WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT
THIS STATION AND THIS IS WHY
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
SUPPORT IT.
1-800-236-3636.
>> MICHELE JUST INVITED YOU TO
BECOME A SUSTAINER AND BEING A
SUSTAINER REALLY HELPS US FUND
THESE WONDERFUL PROGRAMS LIKE
JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT, TO FIND
A FASCINATING PROGRAM LIKE
"ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS" AND SO
MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE CAN
BRING TO YOU BECAUSE WE THINK
YOU'LL BE INTERESTED IN THEM.
WE THINK YOU'RE CURIOUS AND YOU
WANT TO DISCOVER THEM.
WE'VE GOT GREAT WAYS TO THANK
YOU.

TONIGHT'S SHOW OR A GREAT CHANCE

CRAFT WITH BASSWOOD SPOON

ALL BY CALLING 1-800-236-3636.
>> SO ERIC HAS TOLD YOU ABOUT
ALL OF THOSE GREAT THANK YOU
GIFTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.
I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE SPOON
CARVING SET BECAUSE YOU LEARN A
SKILL AND THEN YOU CAN GIVE IT
AS A PRESENT TO SOMEBODY.
NICE, RIGHT?
BUT WITH EVERY DONATION THAT YOU
MAKE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEVEL,
WE HAVE TWO AMAZING BENEFITS.
ONE IS "AIRWAVES," THE PROGRAM
GUIDE.
IT'S REALLY PRETTY INCREDIBLE
CONSIDERING YOU DON'T FIND THESE
THINGS THAT OFTEN ANYMORE.
BUT IT'S THIS GREAT LITTLE GRID
LAYOUT WITH ALL OF OUR STATIONS
HERE.
YOU CAN PLAN YOUR VIEWING.
YOU CAN PLAN WHAT YOU WANT TO
SEE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
AND THERE'S ALSO LITTLE --
THERE'S STORIES ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON AT THE STATION, WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE STATE.
VERY VALUABLE BENEFIT THAT YOU
GET WITH ANY LEVEL THAT YOU MAKE
A DONATION AT.
THE OTHER BENEFIT YOU GET IS PBS
PASSPORT, WHICH GIVES YOU
THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF PBS
PROGRAMMING AVAILABLE TO YOU
STREAMING LIVE ONLINE THROUGH
THE INTERNET.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE GREAT
GIFTS BY BECOMING A MEMBER RIGHT
NOW.
>> YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS
WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT IS HOW PBS
WISCONSIN TAKES YOU TO FAR-AWAY
PLACES YOU WOULD NEVER GO.
BUT IT ALSO TAKES YOU TO PLACES
RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE.
JUST THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS WE HAVE, ALL THE
PROGRAMS WITH JERRY APPS,
"AROUND THE FARM TABLE,"
WISCONSIN FOODIE, "HERE AND
NOW," WISCONSIN FROM THE AIR,
WISCONSIN LIFE.
THESE ARE PROGRAMS ABOUT US,
ABOUT ALL OF US, ABOUT OUR
COMMUNITY.

PROGRAM IS YOU REALLY GET DRAWN
INTO IT.
IT'S GOT A ZEN-LIKE QUALITY,
TOO, ABOUT IT.
THERE'S THIS NATURE.
YOU'RE LEARNING THINGS ABOUT NOT
ONLY NATURE, BUT ALSO JUST BASIC
SURVIVAL SKILLS.
I FIND THAT FASCINATING.
AND THERE'S SO MANY PROGRAMS ON
PBS WISCONSIN THAT HAVE THAT
EFFECT, THAT YOU'RE LEARNING
ABOUT STUFF YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE
EVEN THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO LEARN
STUFF ABOUT, WHETHER IT'S PANDAS
OR HORSES OR SUDDENLY YOU'RE
LIKE THIS IS THE MOST -- WHY DID
I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE?
AND THAT'S BECAUSE PBS WISCONSIN
IS KNOWN FOR SPARKING CURIOSITY.

WISCONSIN ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO

OPEN TO THE WORLD.
