The Colors Show

This hour: a purple hotel, a family who argues over their skin color, a singing rainbow and more.

The Letters Show

This hour: letters. To yourself, to your city, lost letters, found letters... and a love letterto letters.

The Texas State Pen Show

This hour: we present two very different stories about the Texas State Penitentiary. Both are about soul - the kind you dance to, and the kind you pray for.

This hour: where kids go to get away; from themselves, their troubles, the rules they're supposed to follow, and of course, their parents.

This hour: failure of flight. In one story a man mysteriously falls from the sky onto a sunny London street, and in another, a plane crashes into a mountain side, and an 11 year old walks away.

The Taking Care Show

This hour: the delicate interdependence between being in need and answering the call to help.

This hour: when two people meet, sometimes extraordinary things happen. And sometimes extraordinary things happen in order for two people to meet.

This hour: failure of flight. In one story a man mysteriously falls from the sky onto a sunny London street, and in another, a plane crashes into a mountain side, and an 11-year-old walks away.

This hour: we present two very different stories about the Texas State Penitentiary. Both are about soul — the kind you dance to, and the kind you pray for.

This hour: We dedicate most of the show to a profile of Mavis Gallant, who at 90, is looking back on an extraordinary life.

This hour: Two stories of people who are far away — physically, emotionally and/or spiritually from the place they call home.

This hour: we'll bob from the biggest maritime disaster that you've never heard of, to a man who saved thousands of shipboard lives with a deceptively simple design.

This hour: whether it is a mob of millions or one single voice, nothing changes unless someone stands up and says, "No more."

This hour: To do lists, compulsive lists, data lists, lists in literature and a list of firsts.

This hour: the piano. But not just as a musical instrument. The piano as a spiritual healer, as a symptom in a grand delusion, as a man's obsession, and as a beloved friend, put out to pasture.

This hour: From the highest fresh water lake in the world to one of the lowest spots on the bowery, we bring you stories of nomadic cultures, peoples and spirits.

This hour: letters. To yourself, to your city, lost letters, found letters... and a love letter to letters.

This hour: Hustlers. Some are straight-up con artists, and others are just doing what they have to do to get by.

This hour: Stories about people who lived to be 100, and reflections from producer Neenah Ellis on what she learned from these remarkable centenarians.

This hour: Identical twins -- separated at birth, separated by belief and joined by matching outfits.

This hour: best friends who will never meet face to face, an abandoned wedding dress found floating in a lake, and more.

This hour: a visit to a pauper's graveyard, three very short (but very big) questions, and more.

This hour: a Japanese blues singer, an aging opera fan, and homemade recordings of a rural children's choir.
