Assorted ramblings from the world of entertainment:

• PBS Western Reserve has a couple of locally produced programs premiering the next two Fridays.

“Feed Our Region” at 9 p.m. Nov. 14 looks at the regional food banks in the PBS channel’s broadcast area, including Second Harvest Foodbank of the Mahoning Valley, which serves Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties.

The efforts of organizations like Second Harvest always are vital, but they’re even more important with the current interruption in SNAP benefits.

In the press release announcing the program, PBS Western Reserve President and CEO Natalie Pillsbury says, “We wanted to highlight some of the great work happening in the community to support neighbors in need and connect our audience to resources they may not know are there for them. PBS Western Reserve is a nonprofit organization, just like all the food banks we feature in this episode, and we believe that working with our community isn’t just a winning strategy, it’s the only strategy for strengthening our organization and our region at large.”

PBS stations nationwide have endured their own budgetary crunch due to federal funding cuts. Through the end of the year, PBS Western Reserve will do a fundraising drive to support itself and area food banks. For every $3 donated to the station, it will donate a meal to a local food bank.

Consider a donation through PBS or give directly to Second Harvest at secondharvestmahoningvalley.org.

Premiering this Friday at 9 p.m. is “Northeast Ohio & the Great Flood of 1913,” which looks back at the natural disaster 112 years ago and its impact on the region.

It’s considered the worst weather disaster in the state’s history. The number of deaths in the state due to the flood have been estimated between 350 and 500 people, and some historians believe that figure underestimates the carnage. In today’s dollars, the total destruction caused would be about $4.5 billion.

The documentary uses vintage photographs of the damage in Akron, Kent and nearby towns that were part of the collections of the Akron-Summit County Public Library, Kent State University, the University of Akron, the Summit County Historical Society and the Barberton Public Library.

Both programs will be rebroadcast multiple times following their premieres.

• With meteorologists predicting our first snowfall of the season next week, what better time to start thinking ahead to the summer of 2026?

A couple of national acts with local ties have northeast Ohio dates scheduled.

Warren-born Dave Grohl and his band Foo Fighters will play Cleveland’s Huntington Field on Aug. 10. The band performed at its induction ceremony into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021 and played a gig for a mostly invited audience at House of Blues leading up to the induction ceremony, but this will be the first full scale Foos shows in the area since 2018.

Queens of the Stone Age and Mannequin Pussy will open, and tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster.

On sale Friday through Live Nation is a Blossom Music Center date by O.A.R., featuring Liberty High School graduate Jerry DePizzo on saxophone, guitar and backing vocals. DePizzo has been a loyal supporter of the music department at his alma mater, and O.A.R. played a Packard Music Hall show in 2016.

The tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of the band’s start, and opening acts for the Sept. 11 concert at Blossom will be Gavin DeGraw and KT Tunstall.
