Why We Dance: The Story of THON /
This documentary chronicles the student-run philanthropy, THON, and the children, families, and students who are changed by their experience.
To many people, THON is a weekend-long event with 46 straight hours of dancing. What they may not see is an entire year spent raising awareness and money to conquer childhood cancer. Why We Dance: The Story of THON will introduce you to the inspirational children battling cancer and the Penn State students who participate in THON, dedicating themselves to making a difference for others.
As the THON clock ticks down on hour 46, not a soul is left unchanged. When Why We Dance: The Story of THON airs as a 60-minute public television documentary, viewers will be touched by the selflessness of their fellow mankind.

Pennsylvania Inside Out: Organ Donation /
For the first time ever, there are more than 100,000 Americans waiting for an organ transplant. If recent history is any guide, about one third of those waiting will die before an organ is available.
About 75% of those waiting are in need of a kidney, which was the first, and is still the most common organ transplanted. Most transplanted kidneys today come from cadavers, but a growing number of patients with end stage renal failure will avoid the long delays altogether because a family member, friend or even an altruistic stranger has chosen to donate a kidney to a person in need.
In this special edition of Pennsylvania Inside Out, we’ll find out more about the demand for kidneys and about what it’s like for the more than 5,200 men, women and children in Pennsylvania alone who are waiting for a kidney transplant.

WPSU encourages you to record an interview for the third annual National Day of Listening on November 25, 2011.
On the day after Thanksgiving, WPSU and StoryCorps are asking all Americans to start a new holiday tradition: Participate in the National Day of Listening. Set aside one hour to interview a friend, a loved one, or someone in your community about his or her life.
The process is simple: select an interview partner, create a question list, and sit down to record a meaningful conversation. StoryCorps has created a free Do-It-Yourself (DIY) interview guide with step-by-step interview instructions, equipment recommendations, and sample questions.
Participants are encouraged to record National Day of Listening interviews using equipment that is readily available in most homes—from cell phones to tape recorders to computers, or even pen and paper.

Times of Triumph /
Hear from central Pennsylvania residents who lived during the Great Depression.
Get a glimpse of the days when the only way to survive was by standing in bread lines or working long days on the farm. Our exclusive series includes a tour of downtown State College, where many of the buildings date to the Depression, as well as first-hand stories from your friends and neighbors who experienced the Depression ... in cities, on farms, and in the classroom—as well as people who didn’t face any struggles at all.
WPSU remembers the past and seeks guidance for the future in this special, one-week series: Times of Triumph.
During the Great Depression, Centre County’s diverse industries suffered: coal, lumber, brick, stone, and textile production. By the end of the Great Depression, the county had lost a quarter of its businesses.
When President Roosevelt was elected in 1933, he created a “new deal” for American people. Government-financed programs created buildings, roads, landscapes, and employment. Penn State and State College prospered from such funds.
Stories produced by WPSU student producer, Josh Korn.

Tune in for classical music every weekday.
Every weekday from 9:00am to 12:00pm, WPSU brings you a colorful palette of great music from many centuries, through the middle ages to modern times.
You’ll hear plenty of famous composers like Bach, Mozart, Tchiakovsky, Beethoven, Debussy, and Rossini. You’ll also hear some music that’s a bit off-the-beaten path from choral works by contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt to genre-bending arrangements by the likes of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and the Baltimore Consort.
