WFIU’s Arts Desk intern Sarah Panfil has produced radio features about the Fourth Street Festival of the Arts, a Bloomington’s old-time music scene, and a filmmaker who documented an unlikely group of Holocaust survivors, among other stories. Sarah is one of WFIU’s undergraduate interns who works under the mentorship of Yaël Ksander, learning how to produce radio reports about arts and culture while sharing the perspective of young adults with listeners. Over three years, the collaboration has yielded radio stories about everything from a local pro wrestling league to a miniature house museum—while giving the interns opportunities at and beyond WFIU. After completing her sophomore year, Sarah was promoted to part-time reporter-producer creating content for WFIU’s new arts program Café Indiana. In July she left for France and will spend her junior year at the university in Aix-en-Provence.

The month of August was named by the Roman Senate in honor of Augustus Caesar, but we’d like to propose that the Indiana legislature rename our own version of it “Hotandhumiditus.” Despite its less-than-hospitable weather, August does mark the birth of the great saxophonist Charlie Parker, and we’ll be featuring his music every Tuesday this month on our weekday afternoon program Just You And Me.
August 14 – Robin Hauser Reynolds and Amanda Hess Documentary filmmaker Robin Hauser Reynolds has backgrounds in business and fine art photography. Her first film, Running for Jim, follows high school running coach Jim Tracy and the effect of his battle with ALS on his championship teams.

Journalist Amanda Hess has written for magazines including Wired, ESPN, and Elle, is a staff writer for Slate, and a contributor to The New York Times Magazine. She is known for her widely-discussed 2014 article in Pacific Standard, “Why Women Aren’t Welcome on the Internet,” which detailed her and other women’s experiences as victims of online harassment. Gena Asher hosts. August 21 – John Waters John Waters is a film director and screenwriter known for his transgressive cult films. His early movies featured a company of actors that included Divine and Mink Stole, Patty Hearst, and former porn actress Traci Lords.

On Afterglow this month, host Mark Chilla takes a look at different jazz pianists working as accompanists to singers, including Oscar Peterson, Jimmy Rowles, Bill Evans, and George Shearing. Afterglow airs every Friday night at 8, and you can always listen to programs online at indianapublicmedia.org/afterglow. Night Lights follows Afterglow at 9 p.m., and this month the historicaljazz program delves into the relationship between Playboy magazine and jazz, the compositions of jazz pianist Mal Waldron, and how Columbia Records, in the early 1970s, first signed, then fired, four of the greatest musicians of modern jazz: Ornette Coleman, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Charles Mingus. On August 26, jazz scholar Loren Schoenberg joins Night Lights on “Postwar Prez: Lester Young 1945-1950,” a show examining the saxophonist’s comeback period after a traumatic experience serving in the military at the end of World War II. Like Afterglow, you can hear Night Lights any time online as well, at indianapublicmedia. org/nightlights. We also hope to see you Saturday, August 20 at Btown Jazzfest on the courthouse lawn in downtown Bloomington, featuring some of the best and brightest talents of the south-central Indiana jazz scene, with WFIU hosts Mark Chilla, David Brent Johnson, and William Morris on hand to help emcee.

New-New Music 4 Many 21st-century composers have broken the boundaries imposed by the so-called “experimental,” “contemporary,” or “new music” of the 20th century. This is what host Elbio Barilari calls “New-New” music. Music that incorporates all the procedures and technical advances of 20th century music but it is not afraid of taking from the past and is willing to explore the traditions of many different cultures.

Plus, we hear from a butcher who suddenly lost his entire sense of touch, and from pilots who suffer out-ofbody experiences while flying fighter jets. 1:00 PM ANTHOLOGY Do You Have Your Bathroom ID? Bathroom privileges have been in the news, but the “bathroom” has always been a site of contested or revealed identity. Poems include “My Grandmother Washes Her Feet in the Sink of the Bathroom at Sears” by Mohja Kahf, on the meeting of Muslim and Midwestern bathroom customs; “Adolescence II” by Rita Dove; “Gas Station Rest Room” by Alan R. Shapiro; and “The Lady’s Dressing Room” by Jonathan Swift, an 18th-century satire on men who can’t deal with the organic reality that underlies the hyper-groomed surface of female bodies. The featured short story is “A Faun’s Afternoon” by the Taiwanese writer Ta-Wei Chi, translated by Dave Haysom, which begins in a bathhouse and ends in violent repression. The “bathroom” episode concludes with a segment on the writings of Alok Vaid-Menon, a South Asian nonbinary trans femme performance artist and activist based in New York. 6:00 PM PROFILES Biographer Michael Shelden.

9:00 PM HARMONIA A Thomas Binkley Retrospective In 1995, the early music pioneer Thomas Binkley died in his home in Bloomington at age 63. Binkley was a gardener, a husband and father, and still something of a musical firebrand—shaping the way medieval music was performed in American and beyond. Twenty years later, Angela Mariani spends time with Binkley, listening to his words, his music, and the musical offerings of some of his many students. 10:00 PM FIESTA!

This hour features the poems “The Utopian” by Vietnamese poet Ngo Tu Lap, translated by Martha Collins, and “The Book of Equality” by Daniel Borzutsky; “The Strange-Looking Man” by Fanny Kemble Johnson, published in 1917 and the first story about World War I to be selected for the annual anthology The Best American Short Stories; an excerpt from Shen Wei’s A Dictionary of Xinjiang, in an ongoing translation by Eleanor Goodman; and a brief visit to the original Utopia (1516) by Thomas More. 6:00 PM PROFILES Documentary filmmaker Robin Hauser Reynolds; Janae Cummings hosts.

Three Latino Mozarts There are at least three composers we can relate as the Latin American (and Spanish) “Mozarts.” Two of them were called “Mozarts” by their contemporaries: the 18th century’s Chevalier de Saint, Georges, born in the French-Caribbean island of Gaudaloupe, and the 19th-century Spanish Basque Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga. The third is the 20th-century Brazilian composer Camargo Guarnieri whose first name was, in fact, Mozart.

21 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Colors To what extent is color a physical thing in the physical world, and to what extent is it created in our minds? We start with Sir Isaac Newton. Then, we meet a sea creature that sees a rainbow way beyond anything humans can experience, and we track down a woman who we’re pretty sure can see thousands more colors than the rest of us. We end with an age-old question: Why is the sky blue? 1:00 PM ANTHOLOGY Nuclear Nightingales, Part 1 Tony Brewer reads “The Zero Meter Diving Team” by Jim Shepard, a story that views the Chernobyl nuclear disaster through its effects on a fictional family. 6:00 PM PROFILES Film director and screenwriter John Waters.

Life Insurance Makes An Extraordinary Charitable Gift
by Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer
Name WFIU as a beneficiary of the policy. This is as simple as updating your beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate WFIU as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount, or make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary doesn’t survive you.
When the original purpose for a life insurance policy no longer applies—such as educating children now grown or providing financial security for a spouse now deceased—your policy can become a powerful way to support WFIU. There are three ways to give life insurance to WFIU through the Indiana University Foundation:
Make an outright gift of an existing policy. You can name us as owner and beneficiary of an existing policy. You may receive a federal income tax charitable deduction and reduce your future estate tax liability. If you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift.

Attend the annual Death and Taxes Day at the Taxman Brewing Company in Bargersville, and hear how young owners Nathan and Leah Huelsebusch bring Belgian-style artisanal ales to the Midwest. Learn about the history of the Johnson County courthouse and meet the clock keeper who discusses the iconic clock’s amazing history. And take a trip on a miniature train that operates on several miles of track in Johnson County Park. Rejuvenate your soul with the Spirit of Johnson County.
Make an outright gift of a new policy. You can take out a new policy and name WFIU as the owner and the beneficiary of the insurance contract. This method may be attractive for the younger donor. To complete your gift, contact your insurance company or go online to complete a beneficiary designation form. Remember, a beneficiary designation is always revocable should your circumstances or preferences change. When considering any charitable arrangements, it’s wise to consult a trusted financial or legal advisor. Contact nkrueger@ indiana.edu or call 812-855-2935 with any questions about gift opportunities at WFIU.
