WE'RE IN ANOTHER ELECTION CYCLE.
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE ALWAYS IN AN
ELECTION CYCLE, AND, TO ME, THAT
MAKES "NEWSHOUR" ALL THE MORE
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN A TIME WHEN
PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT NOT
TRUSTING THE NEWS, YOU THINK,
YOU TRUST "NEWSHOUR," YOU CAN
TRUST THE "NEWSESHOUR," AND WE
KNOW DAY AFTER DAY, THIS PROGRAM
BRINGS YOU QUALITY, RELIABLE,
HONEST, INTEGRITY, REAL NEWS,
AND I THINK THAT'S A CRUCIAL
THING NOW ALL THE TIME, BUT
ESPECIALLY NOW, SO CALL AT

THINK ABOUT SUPPORTING PBS

BACK EARLIER IN YOUR LIFE, YOU
MY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DONATE,
SUPPORT, GIVE TO PBS WISCONSIN
BECAUSE YOU HAD OTHER THINGS
THAT YOU NEEDED TO PAY ATTENTION
TO, BUT NOW YOU'RE ABLE TO DO
THAT, AND SO, IN A WAY, WHAT

THE FOLKS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
COMING NEXT IN THE SAME WAY
PEOPLE SUPPORTED PBS WISCONSIN
FOR YOU.
I THINK THAT KIND OF ONGOING
COMMITMENT IS REALLY CRITICAL.
SO, PLEASE, CALL US AT
1-800-236-3636.
THANK YOU.
>>> HI, I'M JAMES STEINBACH, A
VOLUNTEER AT PBS WISCONSIN.
WE ARE TAKING A BRIEF BREAK FROM
THIS TERRIFIC SERIES FROM RICK
STEVES," THE ART OF EUROPE," AND
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IF YOU
THINK ABOUT IT, SORT OF THE
DEFINITION OF A CERTAIN THOUGHT
ABOUT TRAVEL BECAUSE I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT WHEN I GO TO
PLACES, ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT
TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO SEE
THINGS THAT ARE NEW, BUT ALSO TO
BE ABLE TO SEE SOME THINGS THAT
ARE FAMILIAR, AT LEAST I THINK
THAT I'VE SEEN BEFORE, AND RICK
STEVES DOES SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB
OF GUIDING US THROUGH THAT, AND,
YOU KNOW, IF YOU STOP AND THINK
FOR A SECOND, SOME OF THESE
THINGS, WE'RE NOT ALL GOING TO
BE ABLE TO GO ALL THESE PLACES,
AT LEAST I'M NOT GOING TO GO TO
ALL THESE PLACES, AND THAT IS
GREAT ABOUT TRAVEL ON TELEVISION
BECAUSE YOU GO AND SEE
REMARKABLE PIECES OF WORK AND
HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE WITH
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMETHING
ABOUT IT AND IS GUIDING YOU
THROUGH.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
WHAT COULD BE BETTER IS CALL US
AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, I'M AIMEE
GRAINGER, ON STAFF AT PBS
WISCONSIN.
RICK STEVES IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITES, AND I'M VERY EXCITED
ABOUT THE THANK YOU GIFTS THIS
EVENING SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY GIVING US A
CALL AND PLEDGING AS A SUSTAINER
THIS EVENING.

COLOR BOOK OF ART, AND BEAUTIFUL
DESTINATIONS AT THE $15 MONTH
SUSTAINER LEVEL.

ANTHOLOGY," THE PAST 17 YEARS OF
DVD PROGRAMS, THE MONEY BELT HE
TALKS ABOUT, THE PLANNING MAP,
AND TRAVEL SKILLS DVD SET, AND
RICK'S TRAVELED NEWSLETTER ALL
AT THE $20 PER MONTH LEVEL, SO
GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> HI, I'M LINDA BERMAN, A
VOLUNTEER HERE AT PBS WISCONSIN,
AND I HAVE BEEN ENJOYING RICK
STEVES' ADVENTURES FOR THE LAST
22 YEARS HERE ON PBS WISCONSIN.
WHAT'S SO EXCITING IS THIS NEW
PROJECT WHICH TOOK HIM TWO YEARS
TO COMPLETE, AND HE SAID YOU
CAN'T SEE MODERN ART UNLESS YOU
LOOK HOW THE ANCIENT ART THEN
PROGRESSED TO CREATE THE
RENAISSANCE WHICH IS NOW
CREATING THE MODERN ART, AND
RICK STEVES KNOWS HOW TO ENHANCE
OUR APPRECIATION.
A WAY YOU CAN ENHANCE YOUR
APPRECIATION OF PBS WISCONSIN IS
TO BECOME A SUSTAINER.
IT'S VERY EASY TO DO.
EVERY MONTH, THE MONEY COMES
RIGHT OUT OF YOUR CHECKING
ACCOUNT OR ON YOUR CREDIT CARD,
AND EASY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT IT, AND YOU KNOW
THAT YOU ARE PROMOTING QUALITY
PROGRAMS SUCH AS THIS.
THIS PROGRAM IS JUST AMAZING.
I JUST LOVE HOW, YOU KNOW, YOU
SEE HOW JUST IN THE PAST HOW HE
ILLUMINATED THE LAST SUPPER.
WHEN WE WERE IN MILAN, IT WAS
LOCKED DOORS AND HORRIBLE
LIGHTING.
YOU SEE IT BETTER WITH RICK
STEVES.
THIS IS THE QUALITY OF
PROGRAMMING YOU CAN EXPECT ON
PBS WISCONSIN.
BECOME OUR OUR SUPPORTER.
>> A FUN FACT ABOUT RICK STEVES'
SHOW, WHERE AT PBS WISCONSIN,
AND WE GET MANY OF THE PROGRAMS
FROM PBS, WHICH IS AN
ORGANIZATION, BUT THIS PROGRAM,
WE DON'T GET FROM PBS.
THIS PROGRAM, OUR PROGRAMMING
FOLKS GO OUT AND FIND AND BRING
BACK FOR YOU.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT GETS
DELIVERED TO US.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE GO OUT
SHOPPING FOR, IF YOU WILL,
BECAUSE THEY KNOW AND WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT
REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR
PEOPLE.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT LETS YOU
IN ON WORLDS THAT YOU MAYBE
AREN'T GOING TO GET TO, BUT
MAYBE YOU ALREADY GOT TO AND YOU
GET TO THEM IN ALMOST A BETTER
WAY WITH RICK STEVES.
THAT'S WHAT IS WONDERFUL ABOUT
THE WAY HE SHARES HIS
UNDERSTANDING IN A WAY THAT, TO
ME, FEELS COMPLETELY HONEST.
I LOVE WATCHING HIM BECAUSE HE'S
JUST A GUY, YOU KNOW?
HE'S JUST LIKE HE COULD BE YOUR
NEIGHBOR, BUT HE'S YOUR NEIGHBOR
WHO TRAVELS A LOT, WHICH IS
PRETTY COOL.
UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE
PRESENTING AS THOUGH THEY HAVE A
LINE ON THE TRUTH.
RICK STEVES IS JUST TELLING YOU
WHAT HE KNOWS AND CARES ABOUT.
I LOVE THAT.
SO, IF YOU AGREE WITH THAT, CALL
US AT 1-800-236-3636.

>> TRAVEL HAS A REALLY WONDERFUL
WAY OF BRIDGING CULTURE,
BRIDGING DIFFERENCES, EVEN
BRIDGING POLITICAL DIFFERENCES
SOMETIMES, AND YOU KNOW THAT
WHEN YOU TRAVEL TO A PLACE AND
YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH
SOMEBODY AND MAYBE YOU SPEAK THE
LANGUAGE, MAYBE YOU DON'T, BUT
YOU FIND YOURSELF ABLE TO TALK,
AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY, FOR
ME, THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST
THINGS, AND, IN A WAY, THAT'S
WHAT PUBLIC TELEVISION IS ALL
ABOUT, IS PROVIDING PROGRAMS
THAT GIVE YOU INSIGHT INTO
THINGS YOU HAVE NOT SEEN BEFORE,
GIVES YOU A WAY TO LOOK INTO
WORLDS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN
BEFORE.
THIS PROGRAM ABOUT "THE ART OF
EUROPE" IS A REALLY
EXTRAORDINARY WAY TO DO THAT,
AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK -- YOU KNOW, SOME OF US
KNOW MORE OR LESS ABOUT ART.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING I'M
TERRIFICALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE
ABOUT, BUT RICK STEVES MAKES ME
FEEL REALLY QUITE COMFORTABLE TO
BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THESE
THINGS AND LOOK AT THEM AND GET
SOME UNDERSTANDING OF THE
CONTEXT AND, ANYHOW, I LOVE IT.
CALL US AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> AND WHEN YOU DO, LET US THANK
YOU WITH SOME FANTASTIC RICK
STEVES' THANK YOU GIFTS THIS
EVENING.
AGAIN, WE HAVE THE BOOK AT THE
$15 A MONTH SUSTAINER LEVEL.

WONDERFUL DVDs, BOOKS, MONEY
BELT, NEWSLETTER, SO MANY
WONDERFUL TREASURE IN THAT
COLLECTION, AND THEN AT $30

THEY WILL FIND THEM IN THE
MUSEUM, AND WE TRUST HIS CREW
COMES THROUGH AND YOU AND WE

DEPARTMENT COMES THROUGH.

>>> I'M JAMES STEINBACH, A
VOLUNTEER AT PBS WISCONSIN, AND,
YOU KNOW, IF YOU THINK ABOUT ONE
OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT RICK
STEVES' SHOWS IS IT SPARKS
CURIOSITY AND REALLY SETS OFF A
TRAIN OF THOUGHT.
IN FACT, IT IS A GOOD THING, BUT
ON THE OTHER HAND, I SIT HERE
THINKING, WELL, THAT WAS GREAT,
AND THEN HE'S MOVED ON TO THE
NEXT THING, OF COURSE, BECAUSE
THE SHOW MUST GO ON, BUT THAT
KIND OF ABILITY THAT HE HAS IS
SOMETHING THAT I REALLY VALUE,
AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK
THREADS ITS WAY THROUGH PBS
WISCONSIN.
IT'S REALLY THE REASON WE ARE
HERE, BROADLY, OF COURSE,
EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SERVICE;
BUT THERE'S A PARTICULAR THING
ABOUT SPARKING CURIOSITY AND
INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO PLACES,
THINGS, IDEAS, THAT THEY MAY NOT
HAVE SEEN BEFORE, AND, IN FACT,
WE ARE, IN MANY WAYS, THE
LARGEST STAGE IN THE STATE WHERE
YOU MAY NOT GET TO AN OPERA, BUT
SEE ONE OR GET TO THE LOUVRE,
BUT SEE THE PAINTINGS THERE.
THIS IS SOMETHING PBS WISCONSIN
DOES EVERY DAY, AND, TO ME, THAT
KIND OF AN ABILITY TO SPARK
CURIOSITY IS CRITICAL.
