Often called the precursor of "Soul Train," Teenarama Dance Party ran six days a week for seven years, and became the longest-running teen dance shows of the 1960s.

GROWN UP DAD is a half-hour program that explores the generational changes of fatherhood and asks what it means to be a good dad today. Historically, being a dad meant providing financially - putting food on the table and a roof overhead. Yet, this norm feels incomplete. With important societal discussions about toxic masculinity and evolving gender roles, defining good fatherhood has never been more complex. Host Joseph Gidjunis is a dad who grew up seeing fathers as drive-by parents who often missed out on real family time. Wanting to be there more for his son, and with inspiration from the hit Australian animated series Bluey, Joseph sets out on a journey across the United States and Australia to discover what that looks like for him and his family. Along the way, Joseph meets up with experts and other dads for conversations about fatherhood, parenting, work and life balance, and being a role model.
Dunbar High School in Washington D.C. is one of the oldest black high schools in America. Dunbar, which officially opened in 1916, emerged as a trio of prominent schools that sprung out of the Preparatory School For Colored Youth, which first opened its doors in 1870.Dunbar is noted for producing some of the top African-American educators, doctors, scholars, politicians and business entrepreneurs in the country. Six of its alumni are featured on U.S. postage stamps for their lasting legacies. Dunbar students received rigorous training that helped them excel in almost every field. Their education didn?t stop at Dunbar, as many of its graduates went on to college. In 1950, 80 percent of its students attended college. By the 1980s, that number had dwindled as Dunbar, like many urban schools, was affected by desegregation, economics and changing demographics, which hindered its ability to retain its prominent status. In 2013, a new Dunbar High School was built. Today, Dunbar is working to regain its stellar reputation. Perhaps it can learn lessons from its past. And just how did Dunbar produce such elite alumni! The answers are explored in the documentary, Dunbar High School, The Alchemy of Achievement.

A year ago, Romesh Ranganathan visited the Arctic to film a Christmas episode of the Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan. It was the hardest trip he has taken in his life - it was minus 40 degrees, he had to camp in a tent on a frozen ocean and he had to go to the toilet in a bin bag. Like a fox. This year, he has agreed to do another Christmas episode - on the strict understanding that he will not go anywhere cold. And so Rom is travelling to the Sahara Desert. Owing to the tradition of shooting Christmas episodes in July, he has arrived at the hottest time of the year - over the next week temperatures will rise to 50 degrees Celsius - an inescapable wall of heat that beats down from above, rises up from the sand below and makes everyone massively narky. Guided by Bobo, a local of Berber descent who was born and grew up in the desert, Rom discovers a place that is vast and inhospitable - at once impossibly bleak and impossibly beautiful. His journey takes him from Marrakesh in Morocco all the way through the Sahara to the ocean in Western Sahara, 700 miles further south. Along the way, he takes in hot air balloon rides and obscure villages where they make world-famous pottery, and he learns how to treat your arm if you get bitten by a snake (cut open a dog and stick your arm inside its dying carcass). Rom meets nomads who have learned to survive in the middle of the desert, endures sand storms, hears about the largely forgotten war fought for control of Western Sahara and discovers why indigenous people are abandoning the desert in record numbers. Epic, informative and ever so slightly silly, Romesh's misadventures in the Sahara shine a light on one of the most overlit places on earth.
