KQED’s ‘Deep Look’ Nature Series
Springs into a New Season
Deep Look, KQED’s award-winning nature and science series, kicks off its eighth season with an
extraordinary mix of short videos featuring a new batch of unusual small animals. They include
caterpillars that eat oak leaves, persimilis mites that rain down from drones and beach hoppers
that devour seaweed.
Launched in October 2014, the series is presented on the PBS Digital Studios YouTube channel and
has more than 1.65 million subscribers and close to 280 million lifetime views, making it KQED’s
most successful web video production. Deep Look’s videos are shot in ultra-HD (4K) and use macro
cinematography and video microscopy to reveal small, hidden worlds in nature that humans rarely get
to see or experience.
Deep Look releases its videos about twice a month and will produce 20 new videos this year.
Upcoming videos include:
March 9: Aphids
The bane of gardeners and farmers alike, aphids show up suddenly and take over, sucking the sap out of
plants’ leaves. Female aphids clone themselves and give birth to live babies, who are already pregnant
with the next generation. Oh, and they pay ants off for protection. But don’t worry, aphids do have a few
choice enemies.

March 23: Mexican Jumping Beans
Often sold as novelty items, these beans are actually the seed capsules of a shrub that has been taken
over by the tiny larvae of a gray moth. As they grow, the larvae shimmy around inside the capsule to stay
in the shade and keep cool in the hot Mexican forests where they live.
Deep Look is produced by KQED’s award-winning science team. The team recently won a Society of
Professional Journalists Northern California Excellence in Journalism Award for Science, Environment
and Health Reporting in the television/video category for videos about kidnapper ants, zombie flies,
webspinners, tsetse flies and California floater mussels
You can view (and subscribe to) the Deep Look YouTube channel at youtube.com/KQEDDeepLook, 3

Show Spotlight:
‘It’s Been a Minute’
with Sam Sanders
If you’re a weekend KQED listener, It’s Been a Minute may already be
part of your Saturday morning. Each week, host Sam Sanders interviews
journalists, actors, musicians and listeners to get a deeper understanding
of the news and popular culture. Recent shows include “The Lasting Power
of Whitney Houston’s National Anthem,” “The Future of Fashion” and
“After Trump, What’s Next for Fox News?”
Sanders arrived on the KQED airwaves in May 2020, providing much-
needed levity and insight and bringing his charm and wit to conversations
about politics, arts, culture and everything in between. Show topics
range from the impact of the coronavirus on the fashion industry to the
history of insurrections in the United States. As Sanders told Into, “I try to
host a show that listeners can depend on for great conversation, quality
entertainment, moving stories, and hopefully they walk away with a slightly
clearer path forward.”
Tune in to KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM on Saturdays at 10am
to catch this sharp and incisive show.
PODCASTS
What are the best podcasts to listen to right now? We asked Kelly Heigert,
lead designer on KQED’s Creative team, what she recommends. Here are her picks.
STARTER EPISODE
“Princess Diana Part 1: The Courtship”
In You’re Wrong About, journalists Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes do deep dives
into phenomena and events from recent history to uncover what’s been miscast in the
public’s imagination. And they do it with empathy, solid research and delightfully witty banter.
The Princess Diana series paints an honest portrait of her life, including the impact of marrying
into the royal family.
STARTER EPISODE
“Breena Nuñez on Zines and Feeling Seen as an Afro-Latinx Comic Artist”
In KQED’s Rightnowish, host Pendarvis Harshaw digs into life in the Bay Area now ... ish. In this
episode, he has an inspiring and enlightening chat with cartoonist and self-publisher Breena Nuñez.
They reflect on how her work has been informed by her Afro-Latinx heritage, her everyday struggles
and joys (including having a partner who’s also an artist) and her deep affinity with Garfield.
KQ E D.O RG • M A RC H 2 0 2 1
STARTER EPISODE
“Dolores, Not Lolita”
In Lolita Podcast, writer/comedian and illustrator Jamie Loftus examines one of the most famous and
controversial pieces of literature with a critical feminist lens — from Nabokov’s original intention of a
dark and disturbing cautionary tale into the various (mis)interpretations over the years. The intro episode
reflects on the character Dolores Haze whose humanity is often overlooked when archetyped as “Lolita.”

—Meredith Speight, KQED Director of Television Programming
To get you Downton-excited, here are some choice quotes
from the “sarwitty” (my word for sarcastic and witty) Dowager
Countess (Maggie Smith): “Principles are like prayers; noble,
of course, but awkward at a party.” Also, “I never answer any
question more incriminating than whether or not I need a rug.” Downton Abbey, Season 6. Nick Briggs/Carnival Film & Television

True confession: My father was a private
detective. He wasn't the glamorous

because of that — or because of my writerly

confounding plots — I’m drawn to detective

DID YOU KNOW? AMERICAN AND BRITISH ENGLISH
MARCH
Ever watch British shows and feel stumped by what they’re saying?
Though we speak the same language, it doesn’t always feel that PICKS
way. Here are some words used differently and a handy tip for
understanding British accents.
• Brits call it a jumper; Americans say sweater
• Brits say fringe; Americans say bangs
• Brits say crisps; Americans say chips
Pro tip: If you’re having trouble understanding British accents on
KQED shows, turn on the captions. Zing! Problem solved.
