Law enforcement agencies across the country are battling an officer shortage. Across the country, 86 percent of police departments are dealing with an officer shortage. Half of those departments report the shortage has gotten worse in the last five years. Recruiters blame the hot job market, as well as greater skepticism about law enforcement as a career choice. That skepticism has grown in the past few years, fed by viral videos of controversial incidents of use of force by police. Where hundreds of people used to apply for a job opening, now it's often only a handful.
Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer, cocreators of the award-winning podcast Criminal, share how they spark intrigue with their true-crime storytelling. Plus, muralist Gabriel Eng-Goetz discusses what drives him to create art that represents culture, understanding and hope.

Education Matters aims to provide the public with real facts about the state of public education in North Carolina. The weekly television show explores everything from the history of public education to the impact of legislation and policy decisions on our public schools. Education Matters is hosted by Keith Poston, President & Executive Director of the Public School Forum of North Carolina. "With this show we want to get away from a traditional he said/she said format, having two pundits on either side of an issue highlighting opposing extremes," said Poston. "Education Matters will be an opportunity for viewers to hear directly from subject-matter experts and real front-line educators as they navigate everything from funding challenges, teacher recruitment, and the impact of poverty on student learning, to testing, academic standards, and the major racial and ethnic shifts in the student population." "One of our primary goals is to help the public understand how education policy plays out in our schools, and what kind of impact these policies are having on our students and teachers," said Poston. "Education Matters will provide a window into the classroom that is often lacking from typical media coverage or political debates."
Story in the Public Square is a weekly, public affairs show designed to study, celebrate, and tell stories that matter. The show is inspired by the power of stories to shape public understanding of important issues. For example, Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," shined a crucial light on the violence and inhumanity of American slavery, fueled the abolition movement, and inspired Abraham Lincoln, upon meeting the author, to say "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war." Narrative is no less important today-though the vehicles for dissemination are much more diverse. From a great novel to a film, a song, or even a Tweet, stories still very much impact the way the American public looks at issues. Our show turns a critical eye to these stories and their tellers.

In the 1600s and 1700s, godlike royals clung to the old medieval order while new ideas bubbled beneath the surface. The art of "divine" kings and popes, and that of the revolutionaries and reformers who countered them, tells the story of a Europe in transition. In the Catholic south, Baroque society favored fanciful decoration, high drama, and exuberant emotion. In the Protestant north, art was more sober and austere. And in France, the excesses of kings gave way to revolution, Napoleon, and the cerebral art of neoclassicism. RICK STEVES ART OF THE BAROQUE AGE explores this fascinating period of art and architecture.
After Rome fell, Europe spent a thousand years regaining its footing in the Middle Ages. Its medieval art shows how the light of civilization flickered in humble monasteries and on Europe's fringes: Christian Byzantium, Moorish Spain, and pagan Vikings. Then, around A. D. 1000, Europe rebounded. The High Middle Ages brought majestic castles, radiant Gothic cathedrals, and exquisite art - both sacred and secular - that dazzled pilgrims and princes alike. RICK STEVES ART OF THE MIDDLE AGES explores this fascinating period of European art and architecture.
Around 1400, the beauty of ancient Greece and Rome was reborn in the Renaissance. And glorious art told the story. This rebirth of classical culture showed itself in the statues, paintings, and architecture of Florence, then spread from Italy to Spain, Holland, Germany, and beyond. The Renaissance featured a star-studded cast, from art-loving princes and popes to Leonardo's "Mona Lisa" and Michelangelo's "David." Its art celebrated humanism and revolutionized the way we think about the world and our place in it. RICK STEVES ART OF THE RENAISSANCE explores this fascinating period in art history.
Art tells the rollicking story of our modern age. In RICK STEVES ART OF THE MODERN AGE, Rick explores how new technologies and social progress spawned a variety of artistic styles during the 1800s: freedom-loving and soul-stirring romanticism, the gauzy art of the prosperous Belle Epoque, light-chasing impressionism, and sensuous art nouveau. Then, Rick careens through Europe's tumultuous 20th century, with rule-breaking art as exciting as the times. From expressionism and cubism to surrealism and abstract, the visionary genius of artists like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Dali helped express the complexity of our modern world and our place in it.

Quietly floating in the heart of the Saronic island group, Hydra is Greece's best open secret. Discovered, it remains unblemished. This postcard place out-of-time where Leonard Cohen once called home, retains its place-out-of-time unique beauty. From the shimmering crescent-shaped harbor to a port that looks more movie set than commercial district, the restaurants, shops, markets, and galleries share space with spectacular landscapes, pristine beaches, and neoclassical mansions. There are not only no cars, but there are also no roads - donkeys and horses provide the only transport. More than a destination, Hydra is essentially an open-air theater, with locals and tourists entering and exiting from either the sea or through an intricate web of cobblestone steps. People who come here stay...or return.

RAISED/RAZED is an hour-long documentary that dives deep into the history of Vinegar Hill - Charlottesville, Virginia's oldest African American neighborhood. Through oral history interviews, the film brings the neighborhood back to life and charts the lives of residents as they faced racially discriminatory policies and a city government that saw them as an obstacle to progress. For 100 years, Vinegar Hill thrived as a center of business, education, and religious and cultural life until it - like hundreds of Black communities across America - was destroyed. The documentary reveals the hard truths of federal urban renewal policies that were implemented in cities and towns across the country and the long-term impacts on communities and families. RAISED/RAZED draws connections between Vinegar Hill and Durham, North Carolina's Hayti neighborhood, which was also destroyed, to show how urban renewal generationally transformed the lives of people across the country. The film leaves viewers with the question of what can be done to reckon with this painful history.

Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence, abusive labor structures, and the desire to break through societal boundaries.

Join Joseph as he ships out on a Peruvian Amazon journey from the jungle town of Iquitos, Peru and makes his way through one of the world's wonders. One-fifth of the world's water and oxygen are produced in the Amazon Rainforest and thousands of species of birds, fish, reptiles, mammals and plants as well as hundreds of thousands of people thrive there.
