Changes to our schedule July brings a few tweaks to the WFIU and WFIU2 weekend lineups. We’re consolidating two local programs and adding a couple of new shows from NPR and Deutsche Welle. NPR’s music program All Songs Considered will take the place of Café Indiana on WFIU2, airing at 7 p.m. Fridays. All Songs Considered was born of the significant listener interest in the bumper music featured on NPR’s nightly news program All Things Considered. The show’s creator and co-host Bob Boilen and co-host-producer Robin Hilton offer an ahead-of-the-curve survey of great music across all genres—music you haven’t yet heard about. Before Bob Boilen came to NPR, he worked for Baltimore’s o ilt Impossible Theater, where he held in H Ro b many posts, including composer, technician, and recording engineer. He is the author of Your Song Changed My Life. Robin Hilton is a composer who has written the scores for many documentaries as well as the theme for NPR’s Weekend All Things Considered. Previously, he worked as an emergency room orderly, a blackjack dealer, and a fruitcake factory assembly lineman. On Saturday mornings, Living Planet returns to WFIU at 7 a.m., immediately preceding Earth Eats. The prizewinning, weekly half-hour radio magazine is produced by Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster. Each episode covers important environmental issues and explores innovative green technology to provide the latest information on the state of the planet’s environment. Living Planet is co-hosted by Irene Quaile and Charlotta Lomas. Finally, we’ll be retooling a weekend mainstay at WFIU: Profiles, which for many years has showcased long-form interviews with some of the most interesting thinkers we can find. We’ll be adding other elements—the feature reporting on area arts and culture that most recently has appeared within Café Indiana, as well as poetry and fiction, and the occasional guest editorials that have aired under the name Speak Your Mind. Profiles will remain in its current spots in our on-air schedules: Saturday at 5 p.m. on WFIU2, and Sunday at 6 p.m. on WFIU. And as always, we welcome your thoughts about these changes. n

Profiles
Jazz Notes
Starting this month, Profiles has a new format. The new Profiles will be a radio magazine, with interviews, opinion, feature stories, fiction, poetry, and other elements. The heart of the program will remain interviews with the most fascinating people from south-central Indiana and around the world—both new conversations and ones drawn from our extensive archives.
High summer is here, and on Just You and Me we’ll celebrate Independence Day with music from Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and other American jazz masters. Tune into Just You and Me throughout the month as well for new music from trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, a new historical concert recording from Nat King Cole, and lots of past and present Indiana jazz every Thursday. France’s national patriotic holiday, Bastille Day, comes just ten days after America’s, and both Afterglow and Night Lights will pay tribute that Friday evening. Afterglow with host Mark Chilla will explore “The Great French Songbook” with a program of that title on July 14, featuring songs written in French or about France, including odes to Paris.
Saturdays at 5 p.m. on WFIU2 | Sundays at 6 p.m. on WFIU

Night Lights follows at 9 p.m. with “Jazz and the French New Wave Cinema,” highlighting the collaboration of American jazz musicians such as Miles Davis and Art Blakey with French filmmakers in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Film scholar and IU professor emeritus James Naremore will provide commentary as well. Other Afterglow programs this month focus on the singers that recorded for Frank Sinatra’s Reprise label in the early 1960s, the songs of Jerome Kern, and music for the summertime. Night Lights highlights the music of bop-era composer Tadd Dameron, the guitar artistry of Charlie Christian, and the transitional year of 1962 for saxophonist John Coltrane. Summertime, and the livin’ is easy— and melodious, when you tune into jazz on WFIU.

1 Saturday 1:00 PM LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO BIZET—Carmen Opera has plenty of femme fatales, but there’s only one Carmen. Her allure proves spellbinding as she seduces a hapless corporal and then a dashing bullfighter. You’ll feel the heat as you’re captivated by Bizet’s bewitching melodies—the smoky Habanera, the playful Seguidilla, the provocative Gypsy Song. Carmen: Anita Rachvelishvili; Don José: Brandon Jovanovich. Ainars Rubikis conducts. Performed in French.
2 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Love Supreme First, the story of a three-year-old girl and the highest court in the land. The Supreme Court case Adoptive Couple v. Baby Girl is a legal battle that has entangled a biological father, a heart-broken couple, and the tragic history of Native American children taken from their families. Then, a look at how the Supreme Court got to be so supreme. 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Liberty In the words of Moshe Dayan, “Freedom is the oxygen of the soul.” This week, we breathe deeply of that sentiment, as we celebrate our own independence, with musical remembrances of that pursuit, world round. From a wide assortment of all-American musical traditions, through Central and South America, Europe, and beyond, it’s Lady Liberty we salute. Julia Meek hosts. Page 6 / July 2017

4 Tuesday 9:00 PM STEPHEN FOSTER: AMERICA’S BARD Join us for this celebration of Stephen Collins Foster, “the father of American music.” In 19th-century America, popular songs were churned out by the dozens, but no other composer of the day wrote as many great songs with as much sticking power. We all grew up singing “Oh! Susannah,” “Beautiful Dreamer,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” and “Old Folks at Home.” Featured performers include: Marilyn Horne, Thomas Hampson, and Leopold Stokowski leading the Philadelphia Orchestra. The program is written and hosted by Naomi Lewin of New York’s WQXR. (Preempts Sounds Choral.)
10:00 PM RELEVANT TONES Improvisation Something of a lost art, improvisation in classical music is making a comeback in a big way thanks to composers such as Steven Snowden, Don Malone, and Aaron Johnson. Teaming up with fantastic performers, they prove that improvisation has a place in the modern concert hall. Seth Boustead hosts.

8 Saturday 1:00 PM LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO TCHAIKOVSKY—Eugene Onegin Intensely passionate drama set to some of opera’s most sweeping, soulful, and heartstoppingly beautiful music—that is Eugene Onegin. Tatiana is a lovesick country girl, and Onegin is the sophisticated young man who callously spurns her love before realizing, too late, what a mistake he’s made. Here is Pushkin’s profoundly human, hopelessly romantic, ultimately devastating story, elevated by Tchaikovsky’s richly layered and unabashedly expressive music. Onegin: Mariusz Kwiecień; Tatyana: Ana María Martínez. Performed in Russian. Alejo Perez conducts.
9 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Galapagos The place that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selection also inspires big questions: Is it inevitable that even our most sacred natural landscapes will eventually get swallowed up by humans? And how far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? A century and-a-half after Darwin, the Galapagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of the Sound of Summer As they say in France, “A Summer’s sun is worth the having.” On this edition, we’re adding audio to that thought, ready to take a listen from several angles of seasonal music perspective. We’ll be field tripping across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and beyond, so grab a lawn chair and a summer state of mind for this warm and wonderful Folktale.

11 Tuesday 10:00 PM RELEVANT TONES In the Field: Catalonia in New York Ramon Llull was a leading philosopher, logician, and writer in medieval Catalonia and the foundation that today bears his name, Fundació Ramon Llull, works to export Catalonian culture and music throughout the world. Their most recent project in the U.S. is an exciting weekend of concerts and workshops in New York that offer a window into trends in Catalonian music.

Its soaring towers and Gothic façade are practically visual shorthand for England. But do you know what it sounds like? This week on Harmonia, we’ll explore music in the shadow of Westminster Abbey. Angela Mariani hosts. 10:00 PM FIESTA! Music from Venezuela Venezuela has a wealth of concert music, from the romantic period and into the 21st century.

We’ll hear songs written in French, songs with a certain French flair, and some songs written about Paris, sung by Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Edith Piaf, and others. Mark Chilla hosts. 9:00 PM NIGHT LIGHTS Jazz in the French New Wave Cinema David Brent Johnson explores the collaboration of American jazz artists such as Miles Davis and Art Blakey with French filmmakers in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He’s joined by film scholar James Naremore.
15 Saturday 1:00 PM LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO MOZART—Don Giovanni Frequently proclaimed “the perfect opera,” Mozart’s masterpiece tells the story of the infamous ladies’ man Don Giovanni, a master seducer who travels across Europe in pursuit of women with his resourceful servant Leporello. Don Giovanni: Mariusz Kwiecień; Leporello: Kyle Ketelsen; Donna Anna: Marina Rebeka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.
16 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Earth Oddities First, we crack open some fossils, peer back into ancient seas, and look up at lunar skies to find that a year is not quite as fixed as we thought it was. Then, a deafening sex orchestra hits the East Coast—billions of cicadas crawl out of the ground, sing their hearts out, then mate and die. And we end 200 miles above Earth’s surface, where astronaut Dave Wolf—rocketing through the blackness of Earth’s shadow at five miles a July 2017 / Page 7
second—floated out of the Mir Space Station on his first spacewalk. 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Hope According to Barbara Kingsolver, “The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” That’s the musical message this edition, as we travel around the world with this mighty virtue.

22 Saturday 1:00 PM LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO WAGNER—Tannhäuser In Richard Wagner’s epic opera, the renegade Tannhäuser is lured into the erotic realm of the love goddess Venus. There he luxuriates in lust and a host of sinful pleasures. But
finally it’s all too much and he longs to return home to Elisabeth, the chaste young woman who loves him, despite the grief he’s caused. The opera is filled with both sensuality and majestic power, featuring the famous overture and the frenzied bacchanal. Tannhäuser: Johan Botha; Elisabeth: Amber Wagner; Venus: Michaela Schuster. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.
23 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB The Bad Show We begin with a chilling statistic: Some 91% of men and 84% of women have fantasized about killing someone. Then, we reconsider what Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment really revealed about human nature. Next, we meet chemist Fritz Haber, who scrambles our notions of good and evil. We end with the story of a man who chased one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history, then got a chance to ask him the question that had haunted him for years: Why? 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Hardship “Though you may hear me holler, and you may see me cry—I’ll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.” This is how Langston Hughes tackled the obstacles that came his way, and it’s our “audio armor” for this week’s exploration of difficulties, and how to overcome them, preserved in musical traditions around the musical globe.

11:00 AM RADIOLAB New Normal In this hour we reframe our ideas about normalcy. Evolution results from the ability of organisms to change. But how do you tell the difference between a sea change and a ripple in the water? Is a peacenik baboon, a man in a dress, or a cuddly fox a sign of things to come? Or just an outlier from the norm? And is there ever really a norm? 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Balance For most folkworlds, there’s a lot of life to balance, so this week’s show is a multifaceted musical exercise in how to find your very own. As American essayist Elaine Scarry reminds us, “How one walks through the world, the endless small adjustments of balance, is affected by the shifting weights of beautiful things.” We’ll be following this golden thread of wisdom through the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and beyond. Julia Meek hosts. 6:00 PM PROFILES Artist and baker Sean Starowitz. Will Murphy hosts.

RARE – Creatures of the Photo Ark Tuesdays, July 18 to August 1 at 9 p.m. Join National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore as he travels the globe to create the Photo Ark, documenting every species at risk of extinction. The Photo Ark project is a digital “collection” of the world’s mammals, fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles and insects, and the focus of RARE – Creatures of the Photo Ark. This captivating new three-part series follows Sartore as he documents threatened
StoryCorps opens in Bloomington About 50 people braved a chilly, drizzly day to show up for the first day of StoryCorps in Bloomington. Behind a speaker’s podium, the StoryCorps Airstream trailer—the MobileBooth—was parked on the B-Line Trail near the Showers Plaza. WFIU’s John Bailey told the audience that the reservations for the recording sessions filled the very day they were offered. “We’ve been staggered by how excited people are to be a part of this project.” Inside the cozy trailer, the first pair of Bloomington participants were recording their 45-minute oral history: Hoosiers screenwriter Angelo Pizzo was being Page 10 / July 2017

species at zoos, in nature preserves, and in the wild. Sartore has thus far traveled to nearly 40 countries to photograph 6,395 species for the Photo Ark. Racing against time, Sartore sometimes photographs 30 to 40 species in a few days. Others are disappearing before he can get to them. In Madagascar, lemurs playfully crawl to Sartore’s camera during one of his
interviewed by his longtime friend “Strats” Stratigos. Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton told the audience, “We all love to hear stories— that’s our human condition.”

easiest photography shoots. Others are more challenging: No amount of tasty raw carrots can persuade a 500-pound, 150-year-old giant tortoise to get ready for his close-up. In Florida, a photo of an elusive bunny taking refuge near an active U.S. Navy airstrip has taken four years to procure. Sartore’s images of parrots in South America and koalas in Australia prompted local governments to protect them. In the U.S., coverage of the Photo Ark has helped to save the Florida grasshopper sparrow and the Salt Creek tiger beetle. In one of RARE’s most emotional moments, Sartore’s camera records a northern white rhino—a very old female and, at the time, one of only five remaining in the world.
Morgan Feigal-Stickles, the StoryCorps Site Manager, remarked that the oral histories “capture the voices that you wouldn’t necessarily hear in the history books.” The StoryCorps conversations began airing this month on Profiles, and are online at wfiu.org/storycorps.

Endowment Campaign funds Newsroom interns IU’s Radio-Television Services has launched a campaign to establish a $750,000 endowment to support paid internships for students working in media at WFIU and WTIU. The endowment will reward enterprising media students with paid internships, balancing their classroom learning with real-world work experience. A third of the total has already been raised. The internship campaign was the brainchild of longtime friends and IU alumni Ken Beckley (BS’62 Radio-Television) and Larry Alt (BS’68 Radio-Television). The two were looking for a way to help students that mirrored their own work experience as IU students. “The key to finding meaningful work in media after graduation is having meaningful work in media while you are a student,” said Beckley, citing the example of Alt, who gained so much experience as a student that he had offers from all three Indianapolis TV stations when he graduated from IU. Beckley and Alt agreed to co-chair a campaign committee. “We agreed because we know what it meant to us when media faculty and staff helped us get started in our careers,” Alt said. “The campaign provides us all the chance to help do more than offset tuition. We’ll provide résumé-building experiences, making it more likely that students can find meaningful work postgraduation.” Alt added he and Beckley are confident that generous alumni and friends will embrace the commitment. Radio-Television Services has a long history of introducing creative young people to the rewarding field of media production

and broadcast. Since the early 1950s, students have cut their broadcasting teeth at WFIU. Many student interns used their experiences in the WFIU Newsroom to build professional careers at other broadcast agencies. Several individuals have made notable campaign gifts, including Ken and Audrey Beckley, Larry Alt, Barrie Zimmerman and Margaret Joseph Zimmerman, Edward Spray, and Nancy Shin. Endowment income from these gifts will be matched by the IU Bicentennial Match. In addition to larger gifts matched with funds from the IU Bicentennial Match program, a multi-donor endowment account has been opened to accept lesser donations. For more information on supporting internships for students working in media, please contact Nancy Krueger at nkrueger@indiana.edu or call 812-855-2935.
