That new voice you’ve been hearing on All Things Considered belongs to Mary Louise Kelly, who came on board to succeed Robert Siegel. She joins co-hosts Audie Cornish and Ari Shapiro on NPR’s flagship news program, heard weekday afternoons on WFIU and WFIU2. Mary Louise Kelly’s first journalism job was pounding the streets of her native Georgia as a local political reporter at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She was educated at Harvard University and at Cambridge University in England. Most recently, Kelly was NPR’s national security correspondent, covering the CIA and other spy agencies. She has been NPR’s point person on the Russia investigation for the past year, and has brought listeners in-depth coverage of terrorism, wars, and rising nuclear powers. She was also a frequent guest host for NPR News programs. Chris Turpin, acting senior vice president of news, said that Kelly “combines rigorous thinking with the ability to put herself in the listeners’ shoes. She will help us usher in a new era of the program.” Kelly’s writing appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Politico, Washingtonian, The Atlantic, and other publications. She also launched and taught a course on national security and journalism at Georgetown University. Kelly first launched NPR’s intelligence beat in 2004. After one particularly tough trip to Baghdad— so tough she wrote an essay about it for Newsweek— she decided to try trading the spy beat for spy fiction. Her debut espionage Lo ry novel, Anonymous Ma Sources, is a tale of journalists, spies, and Pakistan’s nuclear security, published in 2013 by Simon and Schuster. Her second novel, The Bullet, is a thriller in which a woman discovers a decadesold bullet at the base of her neck. After two years as a co-host of both All Things Considered and the Embedded podcast, ATC co-host Kelly McEvers has stepped down. She will continue her work as host and executive producer of Embedded, which will increase its output in 2018. All Things Considered debuted on 90 public radio stations in 1971; it now airs on more than 700 radio stations and is the most listened-to afternoon drive-time, news radio program in the country.

Julia Meek travels around the musical folk underworld for sound advice on just how wrong it is to steal—from heists to hijinks, kidnapping and extortion, to plain old pilfering and the five finger discount.

During the 18th century, it also became a popular chamber music instrument, with its rustic sound often meant to invoke a pastoral scene. This week on Harmonia, join Angela Mariani as she explores the art of the humble hurdy-gurdy. 10:00 PM FIESTA!

11 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Big Little Questions Here at Radiolab, we get a lot of questions. Tiny questions, big questions, short questions, long questions. Weird questions. Poop questions. We get them all. Today, we answer some of those questions. 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Romance As poet Munia Khan so elegantly put it: “Your love is not really love until you waste it, a kiss is never a kiss until you taste it.” With this in mind, we’re taking a global heart-shaped tour this edition of Folktales, for a romantic hour of timeless customs and musical traditions that go hand in hand with the Valentinian season all around us.

But what about composers who are genuinely inspired by older forms such as fugues, rondos, capriccios, and even rags? Seth Boustead features music by these “composers out of time.”

INDEPENDENT LENS: Tell Them We Are Rising – The Story of Black Colleges and Universities Monday, February 19, 9 p.m.
Explore the pivotal role that historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have played in shaping American history, culture, and national identity. The rich history of America’s HBCUs began before the end of slavery, flourished in the 20th century, and profoundly influenced
CGAs – For the Love of WFIU If you love WFIU, one way to show it is by creating a Charitable Gift Annuity that supplements your retirement income and leaves something to WFIU as well. If you are not yet ready to retire, a Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity is a good strategy. A deferred gift annuity will make fixed payments to you that begin up to ten years out on a pre-set date, allowing the principal to grow until you need the annuity payments. After five years, you might discover you don’t yet need the income payments for your retirement. If so, a Flexible Deferred Gift

the course of the nation for over 150 years—yet remains largely unknown. A haven for black intellectuals, artists, and revolutionaries—and a path of promise toward the American dream—HBCUs have cultivated leaders in every field while remaining unapologetically black for more than 150 years.
Annuity will let you choose a date to receive gift annuity payments (e.g., in five years). When you reach that date, if you discover you don’t yet need the income payments for your retirement, you can then choose to delay payments even longer. Example: Carol W. (age 58) owns a small business. Earlier this year, she set up a flexible deferred gift annuity of $20,000 to benefit WFIU. She will wait five years for payments to begin, while her money grows. Carol can take a charitable deduction based on her gift amount the same year she sets up her deferred gift annuity. After five years, if Carol does not yet need the income stream, she can postpone the payments several more years. The longer she
These institutions have nurtured some of the most influential Americans of our time, from Booker T. Washington to Martin Luther King, Jr., W.E.B. Du Bois to Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison to Oprah Winfrey, Alice Walker to Spike Lee. A key driver of black social, political and economic progress, HBCUs were also a place of unprecedented freedom for African American students and a refuge from the rampant racism that raged outside the campus walls. Created following the era when it was a crime in many states to teach African Americans to read, HBCUs sprang up following the end of the Civil War, particularly in the rural South. On these campuses were waged the intellectual battles that would determine the future of African American society.
postpones receiving payments, the greater the payments will be. With bank interest rates so low on savings accounts, it’s a good way to put your money to work for you—and to arrange a charitable gift to the station you trust.

A Moment of Science turns 30 Back in 1987, WFIU’s then-general manager Don Glass was reluctant to produce a show on science. “I was afraid it would be too esoteric,” he recalls. But IU physics professor Dr. Paul Singh, who first Don Glass and Yaël Ksander recording A Moment of Science proposed the show, assured Glass that the program could explain the wonders of science without technical jargon. On February 28, 1988, the first episode of A Moment of Science was broadcast. AMOS celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, making it one of the longest-running shows of its type. Tune in to the February 28th episode for a special anniversary special program. “The goal from the beginning,” says Glass, AMOS’s longtime producer and co-host, “was to present science in a way that would be informative, appealing, and with a little humor.” The first episode of was “Benjamin Franklin’s Swatches on the Snow,” which tells how the Founding Father elegantly demonstrated that dark-colored clothing is hotter than lightcolored. While Glass and his AMOS co-host Yaël Ksander are the show’s most “visible” people, important contributions are made by behind-the-scenes folks—such as the show’s talented writers,
and by WFIU sound engineer Mike Paskash, who has engineered the recording of some 7,800 AMOS programs. “Aside from her beautiful voice,” Glass reflects, “Yaël brings something intangible that over the years has continued to develop: the rapport between the two of us.” “Working with Don has been very meaningful to me,” comments Yaël. “I am proud to have been involved in bringing scientific research to a broad audience, an effort that is more critical now than ever.” AMOS listeners write to Glass with comments; sometimes critical, most times positive. One of Glass’s favorite piece of correspondence was from a colonel serving overseas in the U.S. Air Force who listened to AMOS on Armed Forces Radio, who responded to a show about the problems of wearing flip-flops. “My 13-year old daughter keeps wearing flip-flops. I’ve been looking for some science to support my position and you’ve now given it to me.” AMOS is now much more than a radio show with its Web presence, podcasts, and videos. The AMOS website gets more than two million page views a year. WFIU Station Operations Director John Bailey observes, “A Moment of Science does what public radio does best: cuts a daunting topic down to size, satisfies your curiosity, and nudges you to find out a little more.” Listen to A Moment of Science weekdays on WFIU just before 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Find AMOS online at amomentofscience.org.
