The Capitol Steps: New Year's Special

airs: Tuesday, December 30, 2008 at 5 p.m.

The Capitol Steps, the only group in America that attempts to be funnier than the Congress, is a troupe of current and former Congressional staffers who monitor events and personalities on Capitol Hill, in the Oval Office, and in other centers of power and prestige around the world and then take a humorous look at serious issues while providing a nationwide laugh for millions...

The Capitol Steps invite you to toast the New Year by remembering the old one in their hour-long special, "Politics Takes a Holiday!" It's goodbye to Donald Rumsfeld, hello to Speaker Pelosi! And it's our annual awards ceremony to all those who provided us with material throughout the year. (New categories! "Best Hunting Accident" "Sexiest Text Message" and "Most Creative Use of Rehab as an Excuse!") Join Nancy Pelosi, Mel Gibson, John Bolton, the Pope, a few singing stem cells, and many more as the Capitol Steps bring you the year in review!

New Year's Day from Vienna 2009

airs: Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 7 p.m.

New Year's Day with the Vienna Philharmonic

NPR takes you direct to the Golden Hall of the Musikverein in Vienna for the most popular classical-music concert in the world - the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day concert. This year, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will be conducted by Daniel Barenboim. The concert features waltzes, polkas and marches by members of Vienna's beloved Strauss family.

Originating during a dark period of Austria's history, these concerts were initially conceived for a local audience as a reminder of better times and a source of hope for the future. Today millions of people throughout the world are similarly encouraged by the light-hearted yet subtly profound character of this music, and draw joy and optimism for the New Year ahead.
