Here’s what’s new on MATV this week:
(You can view all of the following programs on our Video OnDemand page by clicking here.)
Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Eleni Mandell was recently on tour in the Northeast promoting her new album, “Wake Up Again,” and MATV was lucky enough to have her stop by the studio to perform some songs from this, her 11th studio album, and sit down for an interview with Jeff Stoodt on “You’ve Got To Have Art.” Hear about her influences, history and tastes, as well as get treated to an intimate performance, when this new episode airs Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays at 1 p.m. as well as Thursdays at 4 p.m., all on the Public channel.
Viewers will learn to make stunning and extremely healthy edible works of art by watching a recent demonstration delivered by Lisa Tavakoli at the Milton Public Library, where this frequent library presenter and certified tea and herb expert teaches an audience to make colorful arrangements using nothing but raw vegetables. This program, titled “Decorative Edibles: Use What You Have and Have What You Use,” gives instruction on preparation, technique, nutrition and ecology, and it’s currently airing during the Monday Forum at 5 p.m. on the Public channel.
After taking an extended hiatus, “Super Tuesday with Ron Bell” has returned to MATV airwaves, with an insider’s take on politics and activism, new guests and an eye toward the pivotal 2020 elections. Last week’s guests were the founder and director of Voter Choice Massachusetts, which is spearheading the effort to bring ranked choice voting to our state, and that episode is currently online on our Video OnDemand page. To find out who this week’s guest is and to watch the show, tune in to the Public channel on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m., or on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 4 p.m.
