The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy will partner with “White House Chronicle,” a national PBS show with global reach, to produce episodes of “Story in the Public Square.”

Hosted by Jim Ludes, executive director of the Pell Center, and G. Wayne Miller, visiting fellow and director of the Story in the Public Square initiative, the new episodes will feature interviews with today’s best print, screen, music and other storytellers about their creative process and how their stories impact public understanding and policy.

“Last year, after shooting two pilots of a standalone series with best-selling author Lisa Genova and Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times writer Dan Barry, we decided a partnership with a high-profile existing show would be the best road to travel,” said Miller, a staff writer at The Providence Journal. “Subsequent conversations with Llewellyn King and Linda Gasparello, co-hosts of ‘White House Chronicle,’ led to this great opportunity.”

“White House Chronicle” will present a special-edition episode each month featuring Story in the Public Square.

“We created Story in the Public Square four years ago to study, celebrate and tell stories that matter,” Ludes said. “We are thrilled to be working with Llewellyn and Linda, two tremendous storytellers in their own right, to reach a national – and international – audience.”

“Through our partnership with Jim Ludes of the Pell Center and G. Wayne Miller, a distinguished author, filmmaker and journalist, we open the door to two exciting minds,” King said. “Embedding Story in the Public Square into ‘White House Chronicle’ will add a new dimension to the program, which Linda and I have been producing and presenting for 20 years.”

“Episodes of Story in the Public Square on the program will show how ‘stories’ can shape our history, mold our culture, shine a light into dark corners, and provide comfort and healing,” he added. “Telling stories is the very stuff of civilization.”

“White House Chronicle” airs nationwide on some 200 PBS and public, educational and governmental access stations; and worldwide on Voice of America Television and Radio. An audio version of the program airs weekends on SiriusXM Radio’s popular POTUS (Politics of the United States), Channel 124: Saturdays at 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

In Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts, the program airs Sundays at 11:30 a.m. on Rhode Island PBS, Digital 36.1 and other carriers; and 7 p.m. on PBS Learn, Digital 36.2 and other carriers.

Story in the Public Square is a partnership of the Pell Center and The Providence Journal. More at pellcenter.org/story-in-the-public-square.
