Public Broadcasting Atlanta's (PBA) Forum Network is an online, on-demand archive of discussions given by some of the world's foremost scholars, authors, artists, scientists, policy-makers and community leaders. These discussion events are hosted by cultural and educational organizations in metro Atlanta and beyond. Through the Forum Network, people across the world can now listen and watch these events online. We encourage our audience to browse our featured, new, and popular lectures. Explore all lectures by Topics, Series, Partners, and Speakers. To provide our viewers with added information lectures are further augmented with speaker biographies, related lectures and books, captions and transcripts, and downloadable audio. **About Atlanta Public Broadcasting ** Great cities are known by their museums, theaters, symphonies and parks. But the greatest impact on a city's cultural life radiates invisibly through the air. For Atlanta, that cultural force is Public Broadcasting Atlanta. WABE 90.1 FM and PBA 30, brings NPR News, music, the arts and PBS programming to hundreds of thousands of listeners and viewers each year. Today, people turn to public broadcasting for their news, music, arts and entertainment. Yet, few people realize that public broadcasting began as "educational television" -- strictly a learning resource. As a broadcast service of Atlanta Public Schools in partnership with the Atlanta Educational Telecommunications Collaborative (AETC), PBA has never lost sight of its original mission. Education remains at the core of our operation at every level, from preschoolers to our elders.
