90.3 WCPN ideastream®: Arts and Culture

SERIES

Around Noon
Around Noon is WCPN's weekday exploration into the world of local and national culture. Around Noon airs weekdays on WCPN at 12:00 noon.

Applause
Applause takes a weekly look at the local and national culture scene on WVIZ/PBS.

Sam Cooke: A Change is Gonna Come
This profile of the pop music superstar is told through his music and the stories of the people who knew him best, as listeners are taken on a tuneful journey that traces Cooke's amazing life and mysterious death. Premiered July 13, 2007

Master Moments
Master Moments is a series of specials produced by WVIZ/PBS and 90.3 WCPN ideastream and Playhouse Square Foundation. Each episode features a master artist, someone widely regarded as the very best in their specific craft. This is an interactive project blending performance elements, in-depth interviews, and questions from a live studio audience and students in classrooms who participate through distance learning technologies.

Jazz Tracks
Jazz Tracks seeks to explore our community, our nation and our world while keeping the jazz sensibility in mind. We show how the music has influenced our sense of fashion, our speech, and how it has, in some way, touched just about everything that makes up of our contemporary lifestyle.
