Rhythm of my Soul:  Kentucky Roots Music.  This show tells the story of country, gospel, mountain, and bluegrass music.  These types of music can also be thought of as having Kentucky roots.  See, that’s how they got the name.  There are even clips of Bill Monroe, Loretta Lynn, and Ricky Skaggs.

Secrets of the Dead - “Killer Flu”.  A bunch of scientists, led by Jeffrey Taubenberger (yes, you heard me right, Jeffrey Taubenberger) set out to figure out all about the ridiculously deadly 1918 flu.  They analyze, they study, the try and reach conclusions.

State Legislature.  In this film by Fred Wiseman the inner workings of the Idaho State Legislature are revealed.  I imagine that this whole thing totally and completely revolves around the potato crop — how many potatoes are there this year, how many potatoes will there be next year, can we make more potatoes, has anyone thought of making furniture out of potatoes, how hard is it to really get vodka from a potato, potato, potato, potato.  Weird Al has a song about spuds too.

Washington Week with Gwen Ifill and National Journal #4650.  Another whole week has gone by and good old Gwen Ifill and National Journal are here to fill us in.  For the record, I like to pretend the National Journal is a sidekick, like Robin to Batman, Starsky to Hutch, or chocolate sauce to chocolate ice cream.
