There are thousands of podcasts out there—how do you know which ones to listen to? On NPR’s The Big Listen, host Lauren Ober introduces you to podcasts you might not know of and gives you the inside scoop on shows you already enjoy. Each week, The Big Listen team strives to feature little-known shows like Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase (a podcast made by a flight attendant while in the air), as well as in-depth conversations with the hosts of popular shows like Death, Sex & Money, and Hardcore History. The guiding principle is to provide you with podcasts with vibrant voices, engaging points of view, and novel storytelling approaches. Before taking the helm of The Big Listen, host Lauren Ober produced stories for such public radio shows as All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Here and Now. With interviews, listener recommendations, show snippets and more, The Big Listen helps you curate your perfect playlist. Tune in Saturdays at 3 p.m. on WFIU2.
Life in the Uncertain Lane “It’s tough to make predictions,” Yogi Berra said, “especially about the future.” People love to make predictions for the New Year. But in the hyper-kinetic world of 24/7 news, there’s no saying what stories or events the WFIU news team and NPR will cover in the year to come. Will your WFIU membership help cover a report on the economy, science, education, or the arts? Will it support coverage of a story at the state capitol, in Washington, or at City Hall? Perhaps your membership will help launch a podcast or website; equip a journalist in Beijing or in south-central Indiana. Here’s what I can predict: In 2018 you’ll hear the kind of thoughtful, tenacious coverage that makes public radio the highest standard of journalism. From financial reporting on Wall Street to education coverage of our local schools, we’ll continue to give you full, fearless, and factual reporting. Thank you for your loyal support, and warm wishes for the coming year.
Underwriting: For information on how your business can underwrite particular programs on WFIU, call (800) 662-3311. Volunteers: Information about volunteer opportunities is available at (812) 855-1357, or by sending an email to wfiu@indiana.edu.

7 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Emergence What happens when there is no leader? Starlings, bees, and ants manage just fine.

The Magical Palette of Edino Krieger Outside his native Brazil, Edino Krieger is mostly known for his substantial work for the piano. But he was also a very imaginative orchestrator.

Victoria Season 2 on MASTERPIECE
Sundays, January 14 to February 25 at 9 p.m. Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) returns for a new season as the young queen who wants it all—romance, power, an heir, and personal freedom. Joining the cast in the new season is Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones), who plays the Duchess of Buccleuch. Tom Hughes reprises his role as the Queen’s dashing consort Prince Albert, and Rufus Sewell returns as the smoldering Lord Melbourne.
Even One Percent Matters Would you like to extend your support of WFIU past your lifetime so people can continue to enjoy the rich music and balanced news and talk programs that you value? Your gift can ensure a future for WFIU and influence the lives of those who rely on it. You may think you don’t have enough money to make a difference. But by putting aside a percentage of your retirement assets—from 1 to 100 percent—you can leave a legacy with WFIU while making sure you and your family have security they may need in the future.

Jenna Coleman as Victoria and Tom Hughes as Albert
“A Soldier’s Daughter” and “The Green-Eyed Monster” (1/14) New mother Victoria is impatient to return to the business of ruling a nation, while Albert attempts to protect her from the desperate news regarding British soldiers in Afghanistan. Victoria is thrown into turmoil by the realization that she is pregnant again, and her equilibrium is threatened
Giving through your retirement plan assets won’t affect your current income. You can include WFIU as partial beneficiary— by dividing up your assets in percentages. Simply contact your retirement plan administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form. Be advised! If your children, nieces, or nephews are the beneficiaries of your IRAs and other retirement plan assets, federal income taxes may erode the amount they receive. It is often best to save retirement assets for your charitable giving goals, using other types of assets for family or friends. If you give annually and want to extend your support for WFIU’s work into the future, these are smart ways to
“Warp and Weft” and “The Sins of the Father” (1/21) Victoria throws a costume ball in a misguided attempt to help the silk weavers of Spitalfields. But the spectacular event only exposes her naïveté, and an unexpected grief finally forces her to put childish things away for good. Despite giving birth to a healthy Prince of Wales, Victoria finds herself paralyzed by an inexplicable sorrow. Meanwhile, a tragedy in Coburg plunges Albert into his own private torment. “Entente Cordiale” (1/28) Victoria decides to try her hand at foreign relations, and takes the royal court on an adventure to France, stepping toe to toe with the cunning King of the French, Louis Philippe.
leave a lasting legacy without affecting your income—and it still allows you the flexibility to change your mind in case your circumstances, or the economy, changes.

Can you help our students? With rising college costs and financial pressure facing traditional media outlets, audio and video students are struggling to find paying internships and co-op job experiences. WFIU and WTIU are creating an internship Endowment to help. The Endowment will support internship opportunities for IU students seeking real world experiences in broadcast media. Students will work in paying positions at WFIU and WTIU, receiving practical broadcast experiences, earning part of their college costs, learning current media technologies, and getting ready for career opportunities.
There are many ways you can donate to the Internship Endowment: Make an outright gift of cash or stock; create a qualifying Charitable Gift Annuity; include a bequest through your will or estate plans; make a pledge to be fulfilled over a five-year period; or contribute to our multi-donor endowment account. To learn more visit indianapublicmedia.org/support/workingstudents-in-media or call 812-855-2935.
