 January 23-29, 2012 |
Greetings!
It's another week of compelling programming. We visit the Florida Everglades to inspect giant pythons, watch Antiques Roadshow's first-ever Norman Rockwell, and deliver a brand new Tony Bennett program that includes the last recorded performance of Amy Winehouse before her death. Did you see the cover story in last week's Folio Weekly, showcasing First Coast refugee activist "Mama Rachel" and written by our own Karen Feagins? The article grew from WJCT's Women, War and Peace initiative, giving voice to local women. Read the article , and check out our "Voices" website. Stay tuned! Natalie Tomola, Editor
