PBS NewsHour Thursday launched Brief but Spectacular, a video series that will appear on Facebook before going on-air.

  • Transparent showrunner and director Jill Soloway
  • The Atlantic journalist and author Ta-Nehisi Coates
  • Comedy Central Broad City stars Abbi Jacobsen and Ilana Glazer

Goldbloom said in a release introducing Brief but Spectacular:

I find it refreshing to have an interview without the interviewer, so I am delighted to be working behind the scenes with my producing partner, Zach Land-Miller, on this project.
