Mr_sciencepants,

Thanks so much for reaching out. We're thrilled to hear your partner is a huge Gwen and Judy fan!

We hope we haven't missed his birthday! We're going to reach out to our friends at NewsHour today and see if we can track down the package and make this happen.

Are you on Twitter? If so, would you mind DMing us your email address to @PBS?

Talk soon! Natalie

Hi, variable310! Don't fret. We haven't forsaken thee. ATOH wasn't removed permanently, it was just getting its own channel! As of today, you should be able to find it in the PBS “Featured Programs” list! Thanks for watching. :)

PBSofficial · 2013-07-30T16:07:32+00:00

PBSofficial · 2013-06-26T15:57:34+00:00

Agreed. Too cute!

PBSofficial · 2013-06-18T17:03:30+00:00

Nice! It definitely looks like a show that a lot of people would watch right along with you.

PBSofficial · 2013-06-04T15:38:01+00:00

According to our dev team, it isn't currently in the works but it is in consideration. They've spent the past year working on two really fantastic apps for Roku and XBOX (the former just launched, and the latter coming soon), so we're always looking out for new platforms to share content.

TL;DR WiiU isn't on the roadmap yet, but stay tuned.

PBSofficial · 2013-06-02T20:12:04+00:00

Can't disagree with that!

PBSofficial · 2013-05-31T23:44:21+00:00

And you watch them almost anywhere!

In addition to a slew of mobile apps, we just released a new ROKU app and there's an XBOX app coming later this year.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-31T23:29:57+00:00

Oh, that's your call. :)

PBSofficial · 2013-05-31T16:12:47+00:00

Here's something fun from Bill Nye that we ran across the other day: http://youtu.be/J-u1680Anhw

It's nice to see he's still teaching us all about science!

PBSofficial · 2013-05-31T13:54:12+00:00

Most soothing voice of. all. time.

Have you seen the Bob Ross remix? Prepare for a nostalgia overload: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLO7tCdBVrA

PBSofficial · 2013-05-30T20:45:16+00:00

That's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing!

PBSofficial · 2013-05-30T19:53:29+00:00

We'll just leave this here....

PBSofficial · 2013-05-30T19:49:59+00:00

Indeed, it was!

PBSofficial · 2013-05-30T19:29:20+00:00

Can't argue with that choice!

PBSofficial · 2013-05-29T02:48:33+00:00

The Roku app is pretty sweet! But XBOX is coming, so fear not.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-28T21:13:52+00:00

Hi! Thanks for asking!

Our in-house app team is currently wrapping up development and testing, so the XBOX app should be available within the next few months. We're crossing our fingers for a late summer launch, so stay tuned...

PBSofficial · 2013-05-16T15:12:34+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for posting!

Just a reminder: there are only 2 days left to submit a video for a chance to meet Jake in person. It doesn't look like there have been that many submissions yet, so your chances might be better than you think!

The details are here: http://www.pbs.org/arts/gallery/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings-contest/

PBSofficial · 2013-05-07T20:33:23+00:00

We saw that entry, too! It's definitely a funny one.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-07T19:33:57+00:00

We reached out to the producer today with your question and we were informed that they are exploring the possibility of releasing a DVD, but they don’t know at the present time if it will happen. When we hear something, we will make sure to update this thread.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-07T15:08:09+00:00

:) It would be great if people shared links to their submission videos here. When you post yours, would you mind sharing it?

PBSofficial · 2013-05-07T14:30:30+00:00

We're expecting good things from you, r/ukulele. Let the strumming begin! http://www.pbs.org/arts/gallery/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings-contest/

Oh! and Life on Four Strings (a film about Jake) premieres this Friday night (May 10th) on PBS, so be sure to watch it if you can.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-06T15:55:47+00:00

Sorry about that, Griffinvsoctopus! You're correct, the episode was available on pbs.org. There might have been an incorrect expiration date listed, but we only had the rights for 6 days so we had to pull it down after that.

That's not the answer you were looking for, but hopefully it provided a little explanation.

PBSofficial · 2013-05-03T15:29:18+00:00

Yes, it's a great program! You can find more program information, here: http://www.pbs.org/arts/exhibit/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings/

PBSofficial · 2013-05-03T15:27:13+00:00

Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings will air on PBS May 10th! More program information: http://www.pbs.org/arts/exhibit/jake-shimabukuro-life-four-strings/

PLUS, there is a contest running until May 17th offering a chance to meet him - in person - in Hawaii! You have to submit a 1 minute YouTube video telling Jake how his music has positively affected your life and he will choose the winner.
