It Happened to Me Again
It happened to me, again. It was another PBS program I was sure wasn’t in my area of interest. The title, Blessed is the Match, didn’t really connect with me and I had never heard of Hannah Senesh, but I watched the first few minutes and before I knew it, I had enjoyed the hour-long documentary about a World War II-era poet and resistance fighter who was eventually captured and executed by the Nazis.
It happens a lot. I get drawn in and end up being grateful that I was captivated and enlightened by another PBS show. Often it’s a documentary, but occasionally a science show or public affairs program or a music performance by a group I’ve never heard.
To me, that’s the charm of PBS and KPTS. There’s always something to attract my natural curiosity… something for me to learn… something to help me feel more deeply connected with the world. I guess that old saying about not teaching old dogs new tricks is just that – a saying, especially if you watch KPTS.
