Tell Us: How Should Saturdays Sound?

by John Bailey, WFIU Station Operations Director Tom and Ray Magliozzi—also known as Click and Clack, the Car Talk brothers—will be pulling away in their Dodge Dart for the last time on WFIU at the end of September. What program would you like to replace it on Saturdays 10 to 11 a.m.? Here are some options: Ask Me Another Recorded live in New York, this is NPR’s blend of brainteasers, pub trivia, comedy, and music, hosted by standup comic and writer Ophira Eisenberg.

It’s like game night with your friends, only on your radio. We am currently bring you this program nt eda V r Shanka Saturday afternoons at 2 on WFIU2.

Hidden Brain Does the way you park your car say something important about you? Can hidden biases keep people from finding interesting jobs? NPR’s science correspondent Shankar Vedantam brings you knowledge from social science to explore life’s unseen patterns.

Science has never been so surprising, fascinating, and fun.

It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders Each week Sam Sanders spends an hour in conversation with journalists, newsmakers, and listeners about news, popular culture, and the Internet—about all subjects, with equal vigor and interest.

Planet Money and How I Built This These two popular podcasts are paired into an hour-long radio program. Planet Money explains the economy with playful storytelling and roll-up-your-sleeves journalism. Guy Raz hosts How I Built This, where innovators, entrepreneurs, and idealists take us through the challenging journeys they took to build their now iconic companies.

Profiles This staple of WFIU’s lineup, currently airing Sunday evenings at 6, has just been rebooted. It’s now a magazine program along the lines of Fresh Air, featuring long-form interviews, poetry, fiction, commentary, and sound-rich features from our Arts Desk.

And finally: another possibility is an extra hour of Weekend Edition Saturday at 10.

Which of these programs would make for the best weekend company? Which would you rather not hear?

5 Saturday 1:00 PM LA OPERA OFFENBACH—The Tales of Hoffman The sensational Vittorio Grigolo returns to LA Opera as poet E.T.A. Hoffmann, whose boozy recollections of the women he has loved and lost set the plot in motion. The cast also features Kate Aldrich, Kate Lindsey, and superstar Diana Damrau in her company debut. Marta Domingo’s staging captures the half-remembered, half-fantasy dreamworld of Offenbach’s final masterpiece. Performed in French.

For those composers who share names with their more glorified relations, it’s all too easy to fade into the shadows. This week on Harmonia, we’re devoting a full hour to the also-rans: the Bachs who weren’t Johann Sebastian, the Purcells who weren’t Henry. Plus a featured release of music from the Spanish Renaissance. Angela Mariani hosts.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Chôros No. 11, Part 1 The gargantuan Chôros No. 11 by Heitor Villa-Lobos is one of the most ambitious works ever written for the combination of piano and orchestra. Listen to this monument of music together with other inspiring pieces by the Brazilian master.

Elbio Barilari hosts.

6 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Lucy Chimps. Bonobos. Humans. We’re all great apes, but that doesn’t mean we’re one happy family. This hour, stories of trying to live together. Is cross-species co-habitation an

utterly stupid idea? Or might it be our one last hope as more and more humans fill up the planet? A chimp named Lucy teaches us the ups and downs of growing up human, and a visit to The Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa highlights some of the basics of bonobo culture (be careful, they bite).

1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of the Wheel of Fortune As they say in China, “The winds of Heaven change suddenly, so do human fortunes.”

That’s an intriguing twist of fate Julia Meek investigates this week, with musical support of the premise from North America, Europe, India and Africa.

During the 18th century, it became a popular chamber music instrument, with its rustic sound often meant to invoke a pastoral scene. Join Angela Mariani as she explores the art of the humble hurdy-gurdy.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Chôros No. 11, Part 2 Listen to the second half of this monument of music along with other inspiring pieces by Brazilian master Heitor Villa-Lobos. Elbio Barilari hosts.

10:00 PM RELEVANT TONES Activist Music We live in a charged political environment and though music is often seen as an escape, many composers have chosen to use their work to make a statement. From Ted Hearne’s piece The Source, based on the story of Chelsea Manning, the U.S. Army private who infamously leaked classified military documents to WikiLeaks, to David T.

19 Saturday 1:00 PM LA OPERA MOZART—The Marriage of Figaro The wily barber and part-time matchmaker Figaro (Roberto Tagliavini) has finally fallen in love, but, like everything else in his life, it’s complicated. On the eve of Figaro’s marriage to Susanna (Pretty Yende), the wandering eye of Count Almaviva (Ryan McKinny) has landed on the lovely brideto-be. From the breathless opening notes of the overture to the touching final curtain, Mozart’s comic masterpiece under the baton of James Conlon brilliantly bucks the conventions of his time to deliver an ageless message of love and forgiveness. Performed in Italian.

This month on WTIU television James Whitcomb Riley: Hoosier Poet Thursday, August 10 at 8pm Sunday, August 13 at 9pm James Whitcomb Riley was one of America’s most popular poets, and more than a century after his death he remains one of Indiana’s most famous literary figures. James Whitcomb Riley: Hoosier Poet explores Riley’s legacy and the personal and professional challenges and successes he experienced as he became a beloved literary icon.

The documentary examines Riley’s early life in Greenfield, Indiana, revealing how it influenced his writing.

Some of his most famous poems,

James Whitcomb Riley

including “The Barefoot Boy,” “The Old Swimmin’ Hole,” and “Little Orphant Annie,” were inspired by people or events from his childhood.

Riley had difficulty in school and attended it sporadically until he graduated from the eighth grade at the age of 20. The film speculates that his lack of education

may have helped him be a more successful poet. Well-known for writing his poems in dialect, Riley’s accessible language combined with nostalgic qualities contributed to his popularity.

The program also details Riley’s struggle for acceptance in the literary community, which continues today.

Faced with rejection and scandal in his career, including writing a fake Edgar Allen Poe poem and his battles with alcoholism, he eventually found success in established literary outlets and lecture tours across the country.

Despite modern criticisms of Riley’s poetry as sentimental and simplistic, the documentary shows how he continues to be celebrated today. The annual Riley Festival in his hometown of Greenfield, two Indiana museums dedicated to his life and work, and the Indianapolis children’s hospital named for him are tributes to his enduring legacy.

Insight from a long journey Longtime WFIU and WTIU members Patrick and Glenda Murray had carefully planned their vacation through the American Southwest. Winding their way through New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri, they covered the vast terrain without incident.

But they didn’t plan on one thing: not always being able to find their favorite public radio and TV programs.

In an e-mail to IU Radio-TV Services Executive Director Perry Metz, the Murrays wrote: “We recently returned from a 4,500 mile trek through the southwestern part of the country. We visited lots of national parks and national monuments and saw some awesome country, saw old friends and family, stayed in big cities and small. And we always tried to find the local PBS station to catch up on our favorite programs and especially the news.”

What could possibly go wrong?

“Well,” wrote the Murrays, “that wasn’t always so easy.”

They arrived home after their journey “with a far better appreciation of the high quality programming that we get right here in our own home town and our home town stations WTIU and WFIU.”

Patrick and Glenda Murray

“There is not a better station in any of those states,” they added.

“None that can compare to the high quality production, and the staff of our local programming.”

“Sometimes,” the Murrays concluded, “you need to leave home to appreciate what you have. Keep up the great work.”

When Perry shared the e-mail with WFIU and WTIU staff, he commented, “The sentiment is one I’ve heard before and it’s a tribute to the work done by Radio-TV employees every day.”

“It’s always nice when someone notices.”
