Wednesday, March 10: TWO CENTS
Hosts: Philip Olsen, CFP & Julia Lorenz-Olsen
“How Social Media Affects Your Spending” (w.t.)
Social media has become an integral part of our everyday life, but our relationship with it is draining our bank accounts. Fifty-seven percent of millennials say they overspend their budget because of something they saw on social media. Today advertisers know everything about what you like and don’t. Branded content is so clever it blurs the lines of what is actually entertainment, and social media influencers are paid to be merely “friends” recommending products. Social media platforms are designed to make saving money nearly impossible for their users because they treat their advertisers as the customer and YOU as the product.
Thursday, March 11: ANIMAL IQ on PBS TERRA
Hosts: Trace Dominguez and Natalia Borrego
“Is the Sly Fox a Myth?” (w.t.)
Foxes are described as “dog hardware running cat software.” These animals are incredible problem solvers, build extremely detailed mental maps of their environment, and can recognize individuals. Over the last 70 years, some foxes were selectively bred to be friendly to humans, and these descendants behave completely differently than their wild counterparts. What can we learn about animal intelligence from domesticated foxes?
Monday, March 15: WEATHERED on PBS TERRA
Host: Maiya May, Meteorologist
“Earthquakes & Tsunamis” (w.t.) WEATHERED takes a closer look at the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600-mile fault that runs from northern California up to British Columbia that is about 70-100 miles off the Pacific coast shoreline. Experts and residents in Oceanside Oregon are waiting for “the big one” that could devastate the underprepared area.
