Show Description:
Uncommon Knowledge is a half hour of informed discussion on public policy issues. Hoover Fellow Peter Robinson serves as program moderator. Uncommon Knowledge, produced by the Hoover Institution in conjunction with KTEH-TV, San Jose, in June 2005 concluded a 10-year run with 300 episodes broadcast on the Public Broadcasting Service. In 2006 and 2007, the Hoover Institution produced a sporadic series of for-Web interviews involving Peter Robinson called Directors' Forum Video. In July, 2007, these Directors' Forum Video webcasts were rebranded under the old Uncommon Knowledge moniker, and a new episode, "Land of Lincoln," with Robinson introducing it as Uncommon Knowledge, was newly produced. It is not clear how frequently these for-Web shows will be made, or whether the format will ever be rebroadcast on television, PBS or otherwise.
