All of these programs are available to watch right now without a membership — but, bear in mind that some won’t stay free-to-watch forever, so catch them now before they’re gone.
In the last few weeks, we’ve hooked you up with big ol’ lists of history, science and food shows you can stream without forking over a dime. And now, we give you the arts. I have to give a special shout out to Shakespeare Uncovered, which PBS just made available again the other day. It’s one of the best PBS shows I’ve ever watched on any subject — and I watch a LOT of PBS shows. Check it out.
All of these shows are available to watch right now without a membership. Just click the links and press play. Or better yet, find them in the free PBS Video app for your Roku, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, Fire TV Stick, phone or tablet. Enjoy!
