Am I the only person who thinks this TV series
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Paradise_(TV_series)
is incredibly racist ?
roughly, it has a smart white man who solves crimes, while his somewhat buffoonish or slow black colleagues stand around (I exagerate a bit, but not by much)

I'll be making my (I believe) 6th appearance on Boston Public Radio tomorrow (7/17) around 1:10pm. I'll be talking about BARBENHEIMER and other summer movies, the strikes and movie stuff that's happening in Boston. You can listen to it online:

Terrific opera premiering in Boston in May. Program sponsored by WGBH tonight to learn more about the opera.

An oldie-but-goodie from #WGBH. Don't you sometimes see somebody with a cool job and think "I wish I'd known that was an option when I was studying for a career."

On #wgbh @gbhnews this morning they were talking about a professional women's soccer league having a new franchise in #Boston. And one possible location for them to play at would be #WhiteStadium in #FranklinPark #RoxburyMA

You'd think this would be front page news at the Boston Globe but apparently not. Haven't seen this reported elsewhere yet either but maybe I missed it. #WGBH #WBUR

This #ClassicLogo for #PBS warms my heart every time I see it. To me, it represents the absolute heyday of PBS, when the network was flooded with outstanding content contributed by stations across the country.
PBS was once a rich and engaging network, chock full of science, arts, and humanities. Repeated budget cuts have reduced it to a struggling bearer of British reruns. It’s really sad.

One more thing to share this morning: this year I curated a digital exhibit for American Archive of Public Broadcasting about the 10-yr radio station of Riverside Church NYC. A decade of high-def recordings are available: public affairs, jazz, sermons, civil rights news coverage, & much more. Very fun project to work on!
