One program through the eyes of KLRN Staff Member, Rachel R. The documentary film Service: When Women Come Marching Come Home describes the life of the modern, female, U.S. veteran. We are introduced to the individual women who have undergone challenge, injury and trauma in the line of duty. As they recount their personal experiences it becomes clear that many of these women have been poorly

Last week, KLRN experienced problems at our transmitter and within hours, our engineers were assessing the situation and fixing the problems. WHEW!  There were a few hours where we were not broadcasting to our viewers who watch our channels over-the-air. At our studios, our signal strength was restored and all was fine in the world---with the exception of the many viewer e-mails notifying us that

I love the arts, I just do. I love anything that makes the world more gorgeous than it already is. I see beauty in the thing that are simple, elegant, and not even considered “artsy”. I see my kids lining up leaves on the table as art. I see art in the way knick knacks are arranged on a shelf or in the way certain people sign their name. Art is everywhere. When we (at KLRN) were first having the

Viewer Review LEMON | an episode in Season 3 VOCES My original intention was to watch the program Lemon with a professional eye. My goal was to pay more attention to the quality of the program from an aesthetic point of view. However that changed in the first few minutes of watching. I found myself almost immediately engrossed in Lemon Andersen's story. I could see him working the streets

It’s said that during the Mexican Revolution, women soldareas rode in circles, kicking up dust to lure federales into traps. These adelitas, or women of the revolution, are the inspiration for Escaramuza, an event added to traditional Mexican charreadas 20 years ago. Charreadas, which are similar to rodeos, evolved from competitions between vaqueros and their haciendas in old Mexico.

Being CFO is not easy. You are the person who always has to say "no". You have to hound people for budgets, pricing, and financials. You have to monitor spending even though you have a team that has to monitor their own spending--because ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Many times, the CFO is the unsung hero, the one who stays behind a closed door balancing a budget, filling out

Cascarones, medals, special hats, food goodies and more!  The signs, smells and sounds of Fiesta are here.  I’m not a San Antonio native, but when I moved here twelve years ago, my San Antonio friends quickly introduced me to some of the festivities like Oyster Bake and NIOSA, and without hesitation taught me all about the Fiesta traditions.

Does the name Yul Kwon ring any bells?  Yes, you guessed it…he’s the winner of Survivor: Cook Islands 2006.  But more importantly, he’s now the host of the new PBS four-part series America Revealed.  And this isn’t your typical hosting gig.  Yul jumps out of aeroplanes in Kansas, climbs to the top of wind turbines in the Columbia River Gorge and takes part in a giant tomato fight in Nevada.  Talk

As a mom, I was never really into parenting books. I barely picked up parenting magazines…I preferred to make my way trying to find solutions for situations that actually plagued me as opposed to looking for situations that may not even exist in my life. That said, I do depend heavily on stories from other mothers on how they raise their kids, what they did well, what they didn’t do well, lessons

I am right there with you!  But while waiting for Season 3, PBS doesn’t disappoint.  Get ready for a wild ride of love, obsession and forgiveness as PBS introduces a brand new GREAT EXPECTATIONS on MASTERPIECE.

As I watched a preview of this program, FINDING YOUR ROOTS, I couldn’t help but think back to my past Christmas holiday.  The best present that I received was from my eighty year old grandfather.  With no help, he created a family photo album — a flip book of old black and white photos — for each of his grandchildren.  And on the back of each photo, he attached a label with a description, names

Growing up I wasn’t really ever introduced to musicals, operas and theater. And now that I’ve had the opportunity to experience a handful, I’m a total fan of live performances and excitedly jump at any chance to attend. It would be a dream of mine to watch live the Phantom of the Opera — the danger, the tragedy, the romance, the mystery and most of all, the magical element! Like many, I try to

Walk down the street and just mention the name Aretha Franklin. You won’t find many who do not recognize the Queen of Soul’s name and don’t be surprised if you come across a few who will even sing some tunes from her collection of hits. PBS definitely knows when it’s just good music, and that’s why Aretha Franklin returns to public television on Thursday, March 15 at 9p. Delight in a festival

The gym classes don’t seem as full, and you may find yourself saying “oh, it’s just one piece of cake”.
