NOW #333. It’s the Emmy award-winning weekly newsmagazine. It looks at issues facing our democracy. The show is hosted by David Brancaccio. And, even better, they still send me e-mails (I think that makes me cool and them nice). Thanks, Now, you guys are awesome!

Bill Moyers Journal #1119 - It’s Bill Moyers. It’s his 1,119th journal (not really, but I’m not going to explain to you the way in which TV shows are numbered at this point in time, maybe later if you’re nice). He’s a good journalist so I assume this will be good journalism (at least the odds are it will).
10:00PM - 10:30PM
Exposé: America’s Investigative Reports #209. Each episode in this series focuses on journalistic investigations and the people that went and did them. I think it’s a dying art in this country, we’re all far too interested in the cheap hit than the in-depth story.
10:30 - 11:00PM
Alan Alda in Scientific American Frontiers - “The Secret Canyon.” A look at how the unconscious mind determines our behavior. What the "canyon" is I can't say, maybe Alda will be able to tell us the same time, next year.

Austin City Limits - "Blues Traveler/Café Tacuba". I wish that this mean that Blues Traveler was playing in Cafe Tacuba, but as I'm pretty sure that Cafe Tacuba is a Mexican quartet, it seems highly unlikely that John Popper would fit inside.
Well, we're halfway through August, and you know what that means. You don't know what that means? Are you sure you don't know what that means? Come on now, venture a guess, hazard an opinion. Don't be afraid (despite what I said above), shout it out. No? You're not going to put anything down on paper about what it might mean? Really? Okay, then, tune in next week and find out.
