WHYY Announces Season Two of Arts and Culture Series 'Articulate with Jim Cotter'

WHYY, Philadelphia's PBS and NPR member-station, announced today the line-up for the second season of its arts and culture series Articulate with Jim Cotter. Hosted by veteran broadcast journalist Jim Cotter, the weekly 30-minute series will present a new season beginning October 3, 2017, including 42 segments of interviews and profiles with today's leading artists, thinkers, and doers across a diverse range of media and genres.

Combining exceptional visual storytelling with a smart and straightforward attitude, Articulate offers a new brand of arts journalism for today's audience. "Our goal is to infuse public television-as well as the digital space-with the perspectives of today's working artists," said host and managing editor Jim Cotter. "Art is for everyone, and Articulate makes it possible for anyone to connect with the culture, no matter where they are."

Since it debuted in 2014, Articulate with Jim Cotter has grown from a local TV magazine show to an Emmy award-winning, nationally-syndicated program. Season two's content includes a wide range of artistic disciplines like kinetic sculpture, photography, jazz, ceramics, and even children's literature. The season's locations are as diverse as its subjects, with artist profiles hailing from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the UK and Italy alongside content from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, New Orleans, and beyond.

The series is distributed by American Public Television (APT) and broadcast across the country, by public television stations, including many of the top 25 media markets. APT will feed the series each Tuesday, beginning October 3, 2017 at 7:30 p.m. Most public television stations will air the series in varying timeslots throughout the week.

Additionally, episodes of Articulate will be available online via public television station websites, including WHYY.org, with a new episode available each Tuesday beginning October 3, 2017, concurrent with the broadcast feed.

Articulate is made possible by generous funding from the Neubauer Family Foundation (also supporters of NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross and the Metropolitan Opera's Live in HD!) and is produced for WHYY by Arts Advance.
