For all her cooking savvy, Ms. Bastianich and her crew need to get up to date on the downside of almond culture... A full gallon of water is required to create each and every almond. Wonderful to have folks immigrating but then engaging in expansive almond cultivation... Not so great... And when included in a PBS presentation downright dumb. Was anyone at PBS watching the store?

I was appalled last week by your disregard of the UN appeal for dramatic action on the climate emergency within the next five years. The BBC and DW news broadcasts gave one third of their news time to this crisis. Are you afraid your corporate donors will withdraw their funding? Are you afraid you’ll scare your audience? They SHOULD be afraid and they need to act NOW. And why are stock market numbers more important than the amount of carbon our atmosphere?

This show is such blatant propaganda it makes me sick to see it painted as pure fact. Gunny Thomas is referred to as always having been on the "far right". Just because someone stands for conservative principles doesn't equate them to skinheads. This continuous narrative to make any and all conservatives out to be racist caricatures vastly over simplifies the problems of this country and only helps to contribute further to its spiral downwards. You people at PBS are helping to flush the foundations of western culture down the toilet of emotional knee jerk responses.

My family are avid PBS viewers of you children's programming, for reference my children are 6 year old twins. We have been watching PBS since they were toddlers with Sesame Street and Daniel Tiger. My son loves Odd Squad. Odd squad based on your ratings is for children 5-8. I have begun to question whether or not some of the content is appropriate for any child in that age range. Some of the language and situations being portrayed are a little older than this age group. What prompted me to write this complaint is a phrase my son has come across from one of the agents. This is just one example but it was my proverbial straw, Agent O'Donahue says "Gag me with a spoon". To most adults this is an innocuous phrase but to an impressionable 6 year old who all but worships the characters of Odd Squad it has lead to some issues at home and school. I am highly disappointed in the writers of this children's show and are out of touch with what appropriate language is for a 5-8 yr old. The development of a 5 yr old and an 8 yr old are entirely different and what is appropriate for one is not for the other. We will no longer be watching Odd Squad in our home and I will scrutinize other PBS kids shows from this point on.

See the article in the 28 January Springfield News-Leader: Missouri lawmakers to get 5% raises over next 2 years, first since 2007. Looks like Missouri Representatives are taking library defunding personally; we should too. Kudos to Gabrielle Hays for her insightful article.

CPB should be making a bid for TikTok. This is the ideal solution for the TikTok dilemma. An acquisition that benefits society, government and CPB.

Mary Lousie Kelley (sp?) seems to be on a book tour of many CPB related forums. Tonight it is the NewsHour. Her book was also mentioned on many NPR-related Programs (Fresh Air for one, I think). WOW - Is her book the best and the brightest. Afre there not other books and authors to review time and time again. Please - five the employee one venue. Steve Mangion

With all due respect, Ayesha Rascoe might be a good reporter, but she does not have a radio voice that’s pleasant to listen to on a Sunday morning. We find ourselves looking forward to the times when a substitute fills in with a more professional demeanor and voice.
