baseball

Last week Doug and I went to see an advance screening of "The Tenth Inning," a continuation of Ken Burns's Baseball documentary. While in the lobby of the auditorium waiting for Doug, I happened to run into PBS's government affairs director who I know from work. It was a few minutes before the start of the show, and he was nice enough to take me backstage to meet Ken Burns and his co-producer Lynn Novich. I only had a chance to talk to them for a few minutes, but it was pretty neat. He talked about Buck O'Neill, his national park series, and some of work-related things on public television funding.

After the screening Burns and Novich came out and answered questions, and throughout that they talked about Buck O'Neill a lot, which I certainly liked. Anyhow, the purpose of the post (probably would have been better had I bothered to post this before it first aired) is to recommend that you watch the new episodes - the excerpts we saw were great.
