April 20: Why A New PBS Kids Show Takes Place In Sequoia National Park

The Jim Henson Company – which created Sesame Street, The Muppets, and Fraggle Rock – is bringing a new cast of characters to the Central Valley with the premiere of a PBS Kids show. “Wowsabout” was filmed in Sequoia National Park and aims to inspire families to experience and appreciate the world outside. On today’s episode, KVPR’s Soreath Hok speaks to the creators behind the show, Halle Stanford and Dorien Davies.
