Radiolab Radiolab believes your ears are a portal to another world. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Big questions are investigated, tinkered with, and encouraged to grow. Bring your curiosity, and we’ll feed it with possibility. Your hosts are Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich. Sunday, December 5 “Lucy” Chimps, bonobos, humans—we’re all great apes. This hour we take a look at what happens when we all try to live together. Our main story is about a chimp named Lucy. When Lucy was two days old, she was adopted by psychologist Dr. Maurice K. Temerlin and his wife Jane. The Temerlins wondered, If given the right environment, how human could Lucy become? We hear from Lucy’s language tutor, Dr. Roger Fouts, Lucy’s caretaker and eventual friend, Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, and the words of Mr. Temerlin himself. After the experiments and after the press, what happened to Lucy? Janis Carter tells us firsthand how it ended. Though the Lucy experiment would largely be called a failure, could there be a way to re-do it, but better? Soren Wheeler visits The Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa, to meet Kanzi the bonobo. Dr. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh uses lessons learned from her time with Lucy in her current research with great apes, and Bill Fields explains the basics of bonobo-human communication, and ruminates on the differences between bonobo culture and our own, as illustrated by a swift and painful bite to his hand.

In this hour of Radiolab, we examine limits—of the body, mind, and of science. Our hosts talk to two Ironman competitors to find out how they do what they do. Physiologist David Jones tells us how to trick the voice in your head that tells you you’re exhausted. Then we follow two men as they bike across the country as fast as they can in a crazy race called The Ride Across America. How much can you jam into a human brain? In this segment, Jonah Lehrer tells us the stunning tale of Mr. S., a man whose memory seemed to have no limits. And Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg warns of the dark side of this gift. Then we visit the annual World Memory Championships, to meet expert brain stuffers. Competitor Ron White unveils some of the tricks he uses to memorize long strings of random numbers (hint: envision Albert Einstein riding a roller coaster). Dr. Steve Strogatz wonders if we’ve reached the limits of human scientific understanding, and should soon turn the reins of research over to robots. Cold, calculating robots. Then, Dr. Hod Lipson and Michael Schmidt walk us through the workings of a revolutionary computer program that they developed—a program that can deduce mathematical relationships in nature, through simple observation. The catch? As Dr. Gurol Suel explains, the program gives answers to complex biological questions that we humans have yet to ask, or even to understand.

The Samuel Barber Centenary Celebration Sunday, December 5, 8 p.m. Samuel Barber was one of the most important American composers of the last century who made distinguished contributions to the Samuel Barber orchestral, choral, operatic, piano, and chamber music repertories. In celebration of Barber’s centenary, the WFMT Radio Network and the Curtis Music Institute present this new two-hour concert. Hosted by Bill McGlaughlin, it features Curtis’ contemporary music ensemble performing works by Barber, including a fragment of his 1928 Violin Sonata, long believed lost. The recently discovered third movement is paired with two pieces it inspired: Curtis graduate Jonathan Holland’s Sonata Variation and student Chris Rogerson’s Lullaby: no bad dreams. The pieces were presented together to form a complete violin sonata created by three generations of composers nurtured at Curtis. Other works on the program include Barber’s Hermit Songs, Dover Beach, Piano Sonata in E-Flat Minor, and Summer Music. In addition to his composition and piano studies at Curtis, Barber also possessed a beautiful baritone voice. Dover Beach was among the works he recorded commercially (with the famed Curtis String Quartet). It is a poignant setting of Matthew Arnold’s poem composed in 1931 while Barber was still a student. The whimsical song cycle Hermit Songs, composed in 1953, is based on marginal writings of Irish medieval monks. Lyricism inspired by the human voice also pervades his instrumental output, represented on this concert by the lively Summer Music and the epic Piano Sonata he wrote for Vladimir Horowitz in 1948.
Writing about the sonata, the pianist noted: “Barber has put warmth and a heart into the work that the ultra-modern compositions, with their mechanical pyrotechnics, lack. Barber is very brilliant and very different.” In this recital, the Piano Sonata is played by a young virtuoso pianist/ composer of 15—roughly the same age as Barber when he embarked on his own studies in the same subjects at Curtis. It’s an appropriate and rousing conclusion to a recital that met a resounding ovation in the hall and an enthusiastic reception. Among the first students to enter the Curtis Institute of Music when it opened in 1924, Barber studied composition with Rosario Scalero, piano with Isabelle Vengerova and voice. It was at Curtis that he met his future collaborator and life partner, opera composer and librettist Gian Carlo Menotti. After graduating from Curtis in 1934, Barber soon established himself within America’s classical community, winning the favor of such important artists as Koussevizky and Horowitz. This program was presented at the Library of Congress and in Barber’s hometown, West Chester, Pennsylvania.
The Changing World “Mysteries of The Brain Part II” Sunday, December 12, 8 p.m. Do we have five or twenty-five senses? Can we cure chronic pain or depression with the flick of an electrical switch? Do we decide how to act before we know about it? The experiences we take for granted— such as talking to a friend, listening to a piece of music, or tasting food—depend on the intricate workings of several cooperative regions of the brain. We probe the remarkable insights contemporary neuroscience provides about our everyday lives.

“Return to White Horse” Sunday, December 12, 8 p.m. Carrie Gracie’s award-winning series on White Horse Village continues with an update on how urbanization in China is affecting the residents of a former farming community. Over several years, Gracie has charted Carrie Gracie the lives of three families as their impoverished farming village was replaced by a twenty-first century city. Now she’s back in White Horse to meet new arrivals who’ve moved into office blocks and apartment buildings, and to find out how the former villagers are adjusting to an urban life they did not necessarily choose. “Mandela: In His Own Words” Sunday, December 12, 8 p.m. Nelson Mandela wrote a letter every day of his life. He also wrote diaries, kept notebooks, scratched out ideas for speeches and doodled his thoughts and meditations on scraps of paper. This unique Nelson Mandela archive, which was bequeathed to the Nelson Mandela Foundation in 2009 and subsequently became the focus of a worldwide bidding war, has now been published as a book. The BBC’s Fergal Keane travels back through both landmark and routine moments in Mandela’s life and career. There are surprises, painful reminders, and insights into Mandela’s moral and political visions, visions that continue to inspire many people around the world.

Economic Club of Indiana: Linda Wertheimer Sunday, December 19, 4 p.m.
One of the most eclectic holiday concerts you’ll hear this season is A Winter Solstice with Helicon. A selection of non-traditional holiday songs provide the variety necessary to keep this concert from being just another Christmas special. Each year in late December, the folk trio Helicon unites in Baltimore to celebrate the winter solstice with their unique arrangements of Christmas carols, Jewish tunes, and traditional music from around the world. Traditional Christmas pieces seem particularly warm and nostalgic when played in a simple, old world musical setting. The three members of Helicon, each considered to be a world-class player on his primary instrument, are guitarist Robin Bullock, wooden-flute player Chris Norman (also well-known in classical circles for his work with The Baltimore Consort), and hammer-dulcimer player Ken Kolodner.
Robin Bullock
These versatile musicians, each a multiinstrumentalist, also play fiddles, cittern, mandolin, piano, and Scottish small pipes during the course of the evening. The program also includes a bit of singing by Chris Norman, who also recites poetry about the season of winter by Canadian poet Archibald Lampman. This concert is the perfect cure for holiday merchandising fever. The musicians—through skill, knowledge, and their obvious pleasure in sharing their musical journeys—present the best of the human spirit (as expressed in music) gathered from around the world.

As NPR’s senior national correspondent, Linda Wertheimer travels the country and the globe for NPR News, bringing her unique insights and wealth of Linda Wertheimer experience to bear on the day’s top news stories. Before taking the senior national correspondent post, Wertheimer spent thirteen years as a host of NPR’s flagship news magazine, All Things Considered, where she helped build the afternoon news program’s audience to record levels: The show grew from six million listeners in 1989 to nearly ten million listeners by spring of 2001, making it one of the top five shows in U.S. radio. Wertheimer’s influence on All Things Considered—and, by extension, all of public radio—has been profound. She joined NPR at the network’s inception, and served as All Things Considered’s first director starting with its debut in 1971. In the more than three decades since, she has served NPR in a variety of roles including reporter and host. From 1974 to 1989, Wertheimer provided highly praised and awardwinning coverage of national politics and Congress for NPR, serving as its congressional and then national political correspondent. She traveled the country with major presidential candidates, covered state presidential primaries and the general elections, and regularly reported from Congress on the major events of the day— from the Watergate impeachment hearings to the Reagan Revolution to historic tax reform legislation. During this period, Wertheimer covered four presidential and eight congressional elections for NPR. In 1976, Wertheimer became the first woman to anchor network coverage of a presidential nomination convention and of

election night. Over her career at NPR, she has anchored ten presidential nomination conventions and 12 election nights. Wertheimer has received numerous other journalism awards, including ones from American Women in Radio/TV for her story Illegal Abortion, and from the American Legion for NPR’s coverage of the Panama Treaty debates. She was named in 1997 as one of the top 50 journalists in Washington by Washingtonian magazine and in 1998 as one of America’s 200 most influential women by Vanity Fair. A 1965 graduate of Wellesley College, Wertheimer received its highest alumni honor in 1985, the Distinguished Alumna Achievement Award. Her book, Listening to America: Twenty-five Years in the Life of a Nation as Heard on National Public Radio, celebrates NPR’s history. Linda Wertheimer gave this luncheon talk to the Economic Club of Indiana in Indianapolis on November 18th.

Nöel: A Christmas from Paris Sunday, December 19, 9 p.m. Host Bill McGlaughlin takes you on a musical Christmas tour from medieval Paris to the present day with the celebrated Westminster Choir, from Princeton, New Jersey, under the direction of its musical director, Joe Miller. From the Middle Ages onward, Paris has been the center of some of the most beautiful and extraordinary music of the European heritage. Christmas has always been a high point in the musician’s year, and this program combines folk music (Christmas carols began as folk dances in France) with plainsong from a French priory (“O come, O come Emanuel”). Also featured is polyphony from the great gothic Cathedrals (such as Notre Dame) along with the splendid baroque music from the Court of Versailles. The romantic tradition is also present in Gabriel Fauré’s “Sanctus” and a superb performance of Poulenc’s “O Magnum Mysterium.” The American mezzo-soprano Jennifer Larmore, a graduate of Westminster and now living in Paris, is soloist for two operatic Christmas songs by Charles Gounod: Fauré’s version for female Jennifer Larmore voices of “Angels We Have Heard on High,” Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Christmas cantata “In nativitatem,” and Adolphe Adam’s “O Holy Night.” The program emanates from New York’s splendid Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Joe Miller and Jennifer Larmore are joined by organist Kenneth Cowan, with Anna Reinersman, harp and Lisa Cowan, violin and early music consort players from the Juilliard School. Jennifer Larmore has parlayed operatic success in Europe into international stardom. She has a wide-ranging repertoire, excelling in the coloratura roles of the Baroque and bel canto, in addition to music from the Romantic and Contemporary periods.
With Good Reason: Lessons and Carols from Washington “Bible Babel” National Cathedral Sunday, December 26, 4:30 p.m. With Good Reason brings you to campus for intimate conversations with university faculty about their research. No topic is off limits for host Sarah McConnell as she explores everything from civil rights icon James Farmer’s training in debate, to the traditions of the samurai warrior, to the cultural history of Sarah McConnell Hawaiian shirts. “Bible Babel” features a conversation about the Bible’s universality and relevance in pop culture with religion professor Kristin Swenson, who aims to “give people what they don’t get in church or school so that they can understand arguments about the Bible, answer vexing questions, appreciate artistic and literary references, and simply interpret the all-time bestseller for themselves.” Swenson’s new book Bible Babel: Making Sense of the Most Talked About Book of All Time, explains what the Bible is, where it comes from, and shows how people use it to argue today’s most controversial issues. The book is based on the most recent scholarship is a lively and very readable introduction to the Bible. A reviewer on Amazon (where it received a five-star rating), said, “It can be a hard thing to make Bible history readable and exciting, but this author has succeeded in doing just that in this delightful book that takes no religious position, but tells much about the best selling book of all time, one that 84 percent of the U.S. population considers ‘holy.’” Also on the program, Edward Neukrug has been collecting oral histories from colleagues and former patients of some of the great psychologists of our time for the Stories of Great Therapists—a Web site with audio oral histories of people reminiscing about their encounters with some of the giants in the field such as B.F. Skinner, Viktor Frankl, and Carl Rogers.
Sunday, December 26, 9 p.m. Host Robert Aubry Davis welcomes you to this sixth annual broadcast of the stirring Christmas service from the National Cathedral, with the Cathedral choirs and Cathedral Choral Society, the Bishop of Washington, Dean, and canons of the cathedral. Each Christmas Eve, the Cathedral hosts a quietly spectacular Lesson and Carols, one of its most attended and cherished events of the year. The service combines biblical readings that chronicle the story of Jesus’ birth with age-old and all-new carols, from folk to ethereal polyphony. Attendees thrill to the swell of many voices and organ together, as well as to the contemplative hush of “Silent Night” as the service ends. Following the success of last year’s broadcast, the Cathedral Choirs are again joined by the Cathedral Choral Society, the resident symphonic chorus of Washington National Cathedral. The 160-voice chorus is the oldest choral group in Washington, having been founded in 1941 by Paul Callaway, who served as music director until 1984. Since 1985, J. Reilly Lewis has conducted the Society in musical masterpieces from plainsong to contemporary works. The four major concerts each season are often performed with full symphony orchestra. Since its founding, the Cathedral Choral Society has presented numerous world premieres, many of them commissioned by the Society, and has maintained a tradition of showcasing both promising young soloists and internationally known artists.

Artist for the Month WFIU’s Artist for the Month of December is Susann McDonald. Susann McDonald received her first training on the harp in Chicago and New York, and she moved to Paris at age 15 to study at the Conservatoire de Paris. At the age of 20, she won the Première Prix de Harpe—the first American to do so. Shortly after, she also won the International Harp Competition in Israel. She returned to this competition some years later as a judge. She has traveled as a performer to South America and Canada, and her performances have been broadcast all over Europe via radio and television Susann McDonald performances. In 1975, McDonald began her position as chair of the harp department at the Julliard School, a position she held for ten years. Previously she was the simultaneous head of the harp departments at the University of Arizona and the University of Southern California. In 1981, she became the chair of the harp department at the Indiana University School of Music, a position she still holds today. McDonald founded the USA International Harp Competition in 1989 to help foster the careers and to acknowledge the accomplishments of the world’s most talented young harpists. The competition takes place in Bloomington, Indiana every three years and remains to this day the most prestigious harp competition in the United States, drawing competitors from around the world. The 2010 competition winners came from France—first-place winner Agnès Clément; Japan—second-prize winner Rino Kageyama; and Russia—third-prize winner Vasilia Lushchevskaya. McDonald’s recording career goes back to the early 1970s and includes most of the major repertoire for harp, and her recordings also include music of twentiethcentury composers such as Miklós Rózsa. WFIU will feature music performed by Susann McDonald throughout the month of December.

Profiles
WFIU’s featured composer for December is Pierre Boulez. Although his father wanted him to become an engineer, Pierre Boulez decided to cultivate his music skills rather than his math skills when he moved to Paris at age seventeen. At the Paris Conservatoire he attended Messiaen’s harmony class and became a strong supporter of his music. When Schoenberg’s pupil Leibowitz introduced twelve-tone music to the French public, Boulez readily applied to him for instruction in serial techniques. Within a year his earliest published compositions (Notations, the flute sonatina, the first piano sonata, Le visage nuptial) reflected his work with Leibowitz. Boulez began his career as the musical director of the Compagnie RenaudBarrault in 1946, and championed the works of Auric, Poulenc, Honegger, as well as his own works. His reputation as a composer was sealed with his debut pieces: the second piano sonata and Le soleil des eaux. The latter, first given as a cantata in Paris in July 1950, grew out of incidental music Boulez wrote for a radio production, broadcast in April 1948. One of his later works, Livre pour quatuor, anticipated the movement toward total serialism of Webern and Messiaen and the aleatoricism of John Cage. In the 1950s, Boulez developed more in the worlds of conducting, writing, and composing with new media. He experimented with electronic music by setting music to magnetic tape; these experiments resulted in two etudes and his Polyphonie X for 18 soloists. He wrote essays on technique and aesthetics, and he established the Domaine Musical Series to showcase music by contemporary composers—with the works of older composers selected to complement the contemporary piece. Boulez continues to champion the works of modern and postmodern composers through his roles as educator, performer, and writer. WFIU will feature the music of Pierre Boulez throughout the month of December.
When Harvey Phillips, distinguished professor emeritus at the IU Jacobs School of Music, died in October at age 80, the New York Times called him “a Titan of the Tuba.” Phillips performed as tuba soloist throughout the world, and inspired and commissioned many pieces for the instrument. He was a founding member of the New York Brass Quintet, and founder and president of the Harvey Phillips Foundation, Inc., which administered Octubafest, Tubachristmas, Tubasantas, Tubacompany and Tubajazz. In 1971, Phillips was appointed to the Indiana University faculty, a position he held until his retirement in 1994. He was inducted into the Classical Music Hall of Fame—the only wind instrument player to receive that honor—and in 2008 he received the Indiana University President’s Medal for Excellence. George Walker conducted this interview in 2003. (repeat)

From awardwinning journalist Lee Sandlin comes a riveting look at one of the most colorful, dangerous, and peculiar places in America’s historical landscape: the strange, wonderful, and mysterious Lee Sandlin Mississippi River of the nineteenth century. Beginning in the early 1800s and climaxing with the siege of Vicksburg in 1863, Wicked River takes us back to a time before the Mississippi was dredged into a shipping channel, and before Mark Twain romanticized it into myth. Drawing on an array of suspenseful and bizarre firsthand accounts, Sandlin brings to life a place where river pirates brushed elbows with future presidents and religious visionaries shared passage with thieves. A world unto itself where, every night, near the levees of the big river towns, hundreds of boats gathered to form dusk-to-dawn cities dedicated to music, drinking, and gambling. Here is a minute-by-minute account of Natchez being flattened by a tornado; the St. Louis harbor being crushed by a massive ice floe; hidden, nefarious celebrations of Mardi Gras; and the sinking of the Sultana, the worst naval disaster in American history. Here, too, is the Mississippi itself: gorgeous, perilous, and unpredictable, lifeblood to the communities that rose and fell along its banks. An exuberant work of Americana— at once history, culture, and geography— Wicked River is a grand epic that portrays a forgotten society on the edge of revolutionary change. Garrison Keillor said of Wicked River, “A gripping book that plunges you into a rich dark stretch of visceral history. I read it in two sittings and got up shaken.”

The Maia Quartet at the Haydn Slam
Classical Music’s New Golden Age by Heather Mac Donald Thanks to period-music evangelists, breathtaking virtuosity, and millions of listeners, the art form remains vibrant. Anyone inclined to lament the state of classical music today should read Hector Berlioz’s Memoires. As the maverick French composer tours midnineteenth-century Europe conducting his revolutionary works, he encounters orchestras unable to play in tune and conductors who can’t read scores. A Paris premiere of a Berlioz cantata fizzles when a missed cue sets off a chain reaction of paralyzed silence throughout the entire sorry band. Most infuriating to this champion of artistic integrity, publishers and conductors routinely bastardize the scores of Mozart, Beethoven, and other titans, conforming them to their own allegedly superior musical understanding or to the narrow taste of the public. Berlioz’s exuberant tales of musical triumph and defeat constitute the most captivating chronicle of artistic passion ever written. They also lead to the conclusion that, in many respects, we live in a golden age of classical music. Such an observation defies received wisdom, which seizes on every symphony budget deficit to herald classical music’s imminent demise. But this declinist perspective ignores the more significant reality of our time: never before has so much great music been
available to so many people, performed at levels of artistry that would have astounded Berlioz and his peers. Students flock to conservatories and graduate with skills once possessed only by a few virtuosi. More people listen to classical music today, and more money gets spent on producing and disseminating it, than ever before. Respect for a composer’s intentions, for which Berlioz fought so heroically, is now an article of faith among musicians and publishers alike.
v
The caliber of musicianship also marks our age as a golden one for classical music. “When I was young, you knew when you heard one of the top five American orchestras,” says Arnold Steinhardt, the first violinist of the recently disbanded Guarneri Quartet. “Now, you can’t tell. Every orchestra is filled with fantastic players.” The declinists who proclaim the death of classical music might have a case if musical standards were falling. But in fact, “the professional standards are higher everywhere in the world compared to 20 or 40 years ago,” says James Conlon, conductor of the Los Angeles Opera. A vast oversupply of students competing to make a career in music drives this increase in standards.
v
But however vibrant classical music’s supply side, many professionals worry that audience demand is growing ever more anemic. Conlon calls this imbalance the “American paradox”: “The growth in the quantity and quality of musicians over the
Bloomington 103.7 fm • Columbus 100.7 fm • French Lick/West Baden 101.7 fm
last 50 years is phenomenal. America has more great orchestras than any country in the world. And yet I don’t know of a single orchestra, opera company, or chamber group that isn’t fighting to keep its audience.”
v
The radical transformation of how people consume classical music puts the current hand-wringing over an inattentive, shrinking audience in a different perspective. Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony premiered before an audience of 100 at most. These days, probably 10,000 people are listening to it during any given 24-hour period, either live or on record, estimates critic Harvey Sachs. Recordings have expanded the availability of music in astounding ways. The declinists—led by the industry’s most reliable Cassandra, the League of American Orchestras—do not account for how recordings have changed the concert culture beyond recognition. Recordings have also, it is true, taken a toll on the communal, participatory aspect of music-making. But the explosion of classical music on the Internet has revived some of that communal element. The ever-expanding offerings of performances on YouTube, uploaded simply out of love, demonstrate the passion that unites classical-music listeners. A listener can compare 15 different interpretations of “Là ci darem la mano” at the click of a mouse, all—amazingly—for free.
v
The much-publicized financial difficulties of many orchestras during the current recession also need to be put into historical perspective. More people are making a living playing an instrument than ever before, and doing so as respected and well-paid professionals, not lowly drones. There were no professional orchestras during Beethoven’s time; he had to cobble together an ensemble for the premiere of his Ninth Symphony. Even mid-twentiethcentury America had no year-round, salaried orchestras. In 1962, most concert seasons were half a year long.
v
Professional orchestras in the U.S. today dwarf in number anything seen in the past. In 1937, there were 96 American orchestras; in 2010, there are more than 350. Where union restrictions don’t exist, the music scene is even more vibrant. Volunteer adult orchestras outnumber professional orchestras two to one. New
youth ensembles launch every year; there are now nearly 500 in the United States. Though Los Angeles County alone has more than 40 youth orchestras, the leading state in student involvement is Texas, where more than 57,000 high school musicians auditioned last year for slots in prestigious all-state music ensembles. Chamber music groups have also proliferated in the last 50 years. Arnold Steinhardt recalls that back when he was studying the violin, you could count on one hand the number of string quartets and other ensembles: “Chamber music was not a profession then; it was for people who weren’t good enough to have a solo career.” Nowadays, new quartets form constantly, many associated with colleges and universities. It took nearly the entire nineteenth century for the string-quartet repertoire to broaden its appeal beyond a narrow band of connoisseurs; today, the audience for chamber music extends far beyond traditional urban centers of culture. Iowa City hosted a Haydn quartet “slam” last year in honor of the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death. String players from ages eight to 78 performed all 83 of Haydn’s quartets.
v
Music records the evolution of the human soul. To hear how the elegance of the baroque developed into the grandeur of the classical style, which in turn gave way to the languid sensuality and unbridled passion of Romanticism, is to trace how variously human beings have expressed longing, desire, triumph, and sorrow over the centuries. Not everyone will hear that changing sensibility; some may find the soul’s echo elsewhere. But the present-day abundance of classical music—of newly rediscovered works, consummate performances, thousands of recordings, and legions of fans—is a testament to its deep roots in human feeling. And it is a cause for celebration that so many people still feel drawn into its web of lethal beauty, in a world so far from the one that gave it birth.

WFIU Taps into Student Power The WFIU News Department is tapping into IU’s pool of journalistic talent to increase coverage of the community. WFIU and the School of Journalism are working together to help students learn what it’s like to work in a real-world newsroom. About twenty students have joined the news team this semester. “This will ensure we don’t overlook important issues, says News Bureau Chief Sara Wittmeyer. “Issues that sometimes slip through the cracks because we don’t have enough resources.” Students are being assigned to a range of communities from Seymour, to Bedford, to Spencer, to French Lick, in WFIU’s thirty-county listening area. All of the student work will go through a rigorous editing process to ensure it’s up to the standards expected by WFIU listeners. “Our goal is twofold,” Wittmeyer says. “Help students gain professional experience, and improve our coverage by having more reporters covering the issues that are important to our community.” “We have a tremendous pool of talent at this university that we haven’t been utilizing.”
