Two PCVs from my group in Moldova are a retired couple named Linda & JD. Before they left, a friend of a friend of a friend of theirs found out they were joining the PC and thought they'd be an ideal subject matter for a PBS TV show called "Boomers" about Baby Boomers who spend their time doing something off the beaten path. They were interviewed in their home in Seattle before departing, and then during our training in October, PBS hired a local TV crew to do some in-country filming of Linda & JD, the occasional PC staffer, and get some b-role of them doing exciting things. I haven't seen the show, but I may be somewhere in a background shot or two - I certainly tried to get within the camera's purview when our famous two-some was doing important things. Shameless, I know...
Anyway, Linda sent out the email below that gives the details about the airtime in you locality. Check it out:
Here's a link to the "Boomers" TV show to send your friends and family. If you click on it, you can find out which PBS stations are carrying the show and when it's on. Ours is Episode 10 so they'll have to count with calendar in hand to figure out what date Moldova 17 is featured. If you click on "Episodes" and look at #10, you can see a photo of JD. Click through to one of both of us and even a one-minute video clip with instructions for high speed and our-speed internet connections. We haven't seen the show yet so we don't know if everyone is on it. Hope so!!!
