I adore PBS and the critical thinking, imaginative programming and great talent involved so when PBS Studios came out with a new series that I know my readers would adore, I have to share!
You know how we para geeks sit around contemplating legend, mythology, scifi, and the universe? Well, PBS Studios totally gets us! Thanks to Dr. Emily Zarka for this superior series!
