In this week's episode, we head to Western Ukraine, where once-productive wheat fields have become battlefields, causing a ripple effect in the global food supply.

Next, we meet a group of artists in Lviv on the front lines of creativity. They’re keeping their culture alive, and fighting off the Russian invasion through powerful visual art.  

Then, we celebrate National Poetry Month, by learning about a barrier-breaking buckeye poet in this week’s Know Ohio.

Finally, we head to the far reaches of space to explore ice volcanoes on Pluto – and meet Earendel, the most distant star ever observed.
