“Resolve to Solve with Miles O’Brien” is a national Arizona PBS documentary series hosted by a veteran science journalist exploring human ingenuity and scientific innovations tackling global climate, water and health crises.
Miles O’Brien, the host of “Resolve to Solve,” joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss what this new documentary will feature.
O’Brien said hosting “Resolve to Solve” has been a “journalistic dream”.
“All I do is get up, find stories out of curiosity, meet fabulous people and tell those stories, hopefully, to a large audience. This show has been the culmination of everything I love and am interested in,” O’Brien said.
The show follows O’Brien as he meets innovators taking on current challenges in new ways.
He said he believes scientists always have good ideas and innovations; they just need help from a journalist to tell their story to audiences.
“Scientists have put good ideas on the shelf, but unless we make a decision as a society to make it a priority to scale them up, we’re not going to move the needle,” O’Brien said.
The first episode centers on beavers’ use against wildfires and droughts.
“It’s a series that is hard to describe,” O’Brien said. “We don’t do just climate.”
The docuseries premieres on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, and will air nationally in PBS’s Wednesday-night lineup. Check local listings to watch on air, and the series will also be available to stream on PBS.org, the PBS app and the PBS YouTube channel.
