The WFIU Arts Desk presents Café Indiana, a new Saturday morning half-hour roundup of the artistic, cultural, and leisure activities that make our area a special place to live. Any given week, you might hear an in-depth, sound-rich feature; an in-studio musical performance and conversation; an interview with an artist or author; an overview of that weekend’s best bets among all the goings-on in the area; and a commentary, a review, or a totally unexpected delight. The program will also offer telling glimpses of your town’s most creative people behind the scenes, and a fastmoving survey of the work they’re placing on view. Listen in for Café Indiana beginning Saturday, July 2 at 7 a.m., right before Earth Eats.

Get a New Look at Literature with Anthology Join us for a literary adventure each week with our new locally-grown series Anthology. Starting this month, Anthology will bring you fresh and unexpected perspectives on classic and contemporary literature from around the world. The one-hour program will feature writers who have been overlooked or neglected, lesser-known works by major writers, and literature in translation. Selections come from classic and contemporary short stories, serialized novellas, poetry, memoir and more, voiced by the Cricket’s Bone Caravan—a troupe of area actors, spoken-word artists, and storytellers. Rounding out the program will be interviews with scholars chosen for their fluency in communicating to general audiences. Producer Cynthia Wolfe seeks out writers with interesting life stories who overcame obstacles, as well as writers with unique or boundary-pushing perspectives. Heather Perry and Sarah Torbeck co-host the program. This month’s lineup features programs on IU alumnus Theodore Dreiser, short fiction by Djuna Barnes and Sherwood Anderson, and a short story by the first African American woman to sell a million copies of a novel. Episodes from the Cricket’s Bone Caravan’s former series, WFHB’s Books Unbound, have been recognized by the HEAR Now Audio Fiction & Storytelling Festival, the Indiana Society of Professional Journalists, and Radio Free Asia. Anthology will premiere in a special edition of Profiles on Sunday, July 3 at 6 p.m. and thereafter be heard Sundays at 1 p.m.

Lauren Robert
Afterglow airs at 8 p.m. every Friday, followed by Night Lights at 9. This month Night Lights offers a centennial salute to guitarist Charlie Christian, a look at some of the jazzier recordings of Frank Sinatra, jazz impressions of Paris, and live recordings from a landmark West Coast jazz club, the Lighthouse. You can hear archived Afterglow and Night Lights programs online as well, at indianapublicmedia.org/afterglow and indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights. Our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You and Me will celebrate Independence Day with the concluding episode of the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band’s annual “Jazz Heritage” series, as well as music from Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, and other seminal American jazz artists. On Thursday, July 21, singer Lauren Robert stops by the program to talk about her hard-driving band Soul Medicine. One last item: After putting the popular and long-running “Jazz in July” concert series on hold last year, the Indiana University Art Museum has decided to cancel it altogether. We are hopeful that the series will resume in the future and that WFIU will once again be involved with hosting this summer showcase for Indiana jazz talent.

10 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Race When the human genome was first fully mapped in 2000, Bill Clinton, Craig Venter, and Francis Collins took the stage and pronounced that “The concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.” Noble words spoken with great intentions. But what do they really mean, and where do they leave us? Our genes are nearly all the same, but that hasn't made race meaningless, or wiped out our evolving conversation about it.
