Arizona PBS announced James and Deborah Fallows as the inaugural guests on the new program ‘Innovating the Future.’ Hosted by New America CEO Ann-Marie Slaughter on Friday evenings at 7:30pm starting February 8, the show will delve into ways education, sports, innovations, and open dialogue can be used to shape a better community, country, and world. The Fallowses’ Our Towns book serves as, “an inspiration for the show, shining a light on the Americans working to rebuild their communities.”

Other guests for the 19-episode season include New York Times columnist David Brooks, retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, and legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, among others.
