Sunday, November 23, 9 PM 2 expenence ((((GPBmerience: How is working on this production different from other shows, and do you have a favorite experience from a shoot? Keely: Well, working on this show requires that you be fit, not afraid of creep crawlies, and not afraid to get dirty. Some days we traipse back into the office with mud to our ears. T he other program photographers don't want to lend us their gear b/c we're likely to get it muddy and sweaty. But we also get a lot of comments from people who think we have the best job in the world and many days they are right! eA'J>erience: What do you think is the most difficult experience you've had trying to put a show together? Keely: My favorite shoot, and our most difficult shoot ever, was in South Geor~ia where we explored a cave called Blowmg Hole. South Georgia is not where you would think it likely to find a cave so this was special. A video crew had never been in ir before. We entered the cave wirh our guides and a stare biologist at about 7 AM. We climbed down through an area call rhe corkscrew, then through another area called rhe birth canal-- so you can guess how right that was!- then crawled on our stomachs through a maze of switchbacks pulling our gear- which was attached to our ankles-- along behind us! But when we stood up in rhe main area of the cave it was astounding. White "angel wing' formations all around us. Ir was worth ir! By the way, we left the cave at well past midnight. Inside rhe cave we couldn't reil the sun was down! experience: How many people does ir take to pur the show together? Keely: For this laresr season I worked with a crew of abour four including me. For the last three years I've wo rked with an amazing producer named Brandon Arnold. He is larsely responsible for the programs premienng rhis fall and he won an Emmy last year for rhe Georgia Outdoors: Citizen Science episode. There is also an associate producer whose job is to produce segments for the shows, some ed iting and some writing. We tend to have an annual rotation of production assistants who are usually recent graduates with a dream to work on nature films. The photographers who work on Georgia Outdoors mostly come from the pool of photographers on staff here ar GPB . AJI this said, we usually only have two, and maybe three people if we're lucky, our on a given shoot. We're a small shop with a lot of tenacity and a talent at work-arounds. experience: With the increased awareness of environmental issues, what can people learn from the show? Keely: Well, we were producing a "green" show before green was cool. Our website has a backlog of over 125 programs all of which are viewable on the web. Most have additional web resources list on each episode page with links to the places we've been ana programs we highlighted. We gauge the success of each show nor just by ratings bur by web visits and emai ls. I just love answering emai l from viewers because if they've been inspired enough by a show to write to us about it they may well have been inspired enough to give rhe activity we've featured a go! That's our goal-- to introduce people to rhe outdoors. If they fil l in love with it they will respect it and become good stewards. eA'J>erience: Can you explain more about the role of the Geo rgia Department of Natural Resources in the show? Keely: They are a wonderful partner for this program. I know so many of the biologists and rangers and rublic information officers so wei now. I can pick up the phone and call just the right person to get the right answer. They are really tunea in to what's happening out there right now and what's new.

Ab's Place is a straight ahead jazz show with emphasis on the emerging artists whose musical expression is based in the straight ahead genre-defined by the music created by such mid-period greats as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Dexter Gordon. Ab's Place will also have artist profiles and artist features as the show takes shape . According to Taymullah, "Ab's Place is all about providing music that is educational and entertaining . I hope that all of GPB's listeners will enjoy the jazz on Ab's Place , but in particular I want the show to provide new energy for all of the folks across the state that are working in the wee hours. " Ab's Place airs on GPB Radio overnights Saturday and Sunday, Midnight to 6 AM . As Abdul himself points out , "there's always something happening at Ab's Place ."

At Work With Emory Mulling Provides Answers To Career Questions At Work with Emory Mulling recently celebrated its first year on GPB Radio. The program airs weekly on Fridays at 3 PM and is a live interactive talk show in which GPB members and listeners can speak live with our knowledge expert Emory Mulling and ask questions about how to succeed in your current job or even find a better job. Emory is joined in the studio by Cheryl Ayers. Kevin Sanders and Myriam Levee round out our live production team for At Work. Mulling and Ayers are both career placement professionals who spend most of their days helping individuals achieve success in their jobs or job searches, and they want to help you with the same. Recent topics on the program have included how to look for a job in a down economy, how to handle conflict in the office , and scary boss stories (for Halloween). Emory Mulling 's advice is simple and to the point, and the show tries to make common sense while keeping a sense of humor about what is often the most critical decision you can make-what to do to make your career a successful one. Technical College System of Georgia Commissioner Ron Jackson joined At Work for a discussion with Emory Mulling about whether or not you need a university degree to get a good job, and Attorney Brent Wilson dropped by to discuss the changes in EEO regulations that will affect everyone in their office. You can listen to At Work on demand and participate via blog by going to www.gpb.org/atwork. If you have a suggestion for a topic for the show, please email us at atwork@gpb.org. To call the show live, dial 866-RADIO-GA, 866-7234642. At Work takes the first Friday of each month off so that GPB listeners can take advantage of consumer advice on the Consumer Call In Show.
