What are you responsibilities as WFIU’s new production director?

To oversee much of the day-to-day production at WFIU while making sure that our producers and reporters meet audio quality standards so WFIU sounds as great as possible.

In the past, recordings for broadcast had to be done by an audio engineer to ensure that everything sounded ideal. But with new technology, our producers and reporters can record and edit their own news or arts feature on their computers. This allows them to work independently.

However, not all of us have the skills of an audio engineer, so I will set a baseline standard for audio production. And I’ll continue as host-producer of Ether Game and Afterglow.

I studied and taught music theory in graduate school at IU’s Jacobs School and I’ve dabbled in performing all kinds of music—opera, jazz, folk, etc. And for several years I’ve been a member of the Bloomington chamber choir Voces Novae.

What do you do in your spare time?

I play my guitar, ukulele, or the piano at every opportunity, and once a month I dig through the crates at Landlocked Music looking for new material for Afterglow!

75 Years of Service This past month, three members of the WFIU Community Advisory Board—the entity that connects WFIU with the communities it serves— stepped down after more than 25 years of service.

Peter Jacobi, Janis Starcs, and David Bowden L to R: David Bowden, Janis Starcs, and Peter Jacobi had served on the board since its founding in the late 1980s. All three have been fierce advocates for classical music.

Former WFIU Station Manager Christina Kuzmych described them as “invaluable members of the CAB.” “Each in his own special way brought a deep understanding of music and the arts that reflected the unique cultural fabric of south-central Indiana. Their contributions are woven into the sound that we all know as WFIU.” The trio was honored at the most recent meeting of the CAB in January for their combined 75 years of service.

Justin Garcia is an assistant research scientist at the Kinsey Institute. His research concentrates on intersections of biology and gender; evolutionary and biocultural models of human behavior; romantic and sexual relationships; and hook-up culture in emerging adulthood.

March 13 – Fred de Sam Lazaro Fred de Sam Lazaro is special correspondent for PBS NewsHour, which he’s served since 1985. He is director of the Under-Told Stories Project at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, a program that combines international journalism and teaching.

March 20 – Jonathan Banks Jonathan Banks attended Indiana University as an undergraduate and has since made a 40-year career acting in film and television.

His first film roles were in Airplane!, 48 Hrs., and Beverly Hills Cop, and his many other movies include Armed and Dangerous, Gremlins, and Identity Thief. Banks received critical acclaim for his work on the TV series Wiseguy and Breaking Bad. Recent roles include Professor Hickey on NBC’s Community.

Betsy Shepherd hosts. (repeat) March 27 – Indiana’s Changing Culture: Celebrating 200 Years On this special edition of Profiles WFIU premieres the first in a four-part celebration of the Indiana Bicentennial. In the course of the year we’ll examine various facets of the Hoosier experience including labor, literature, and land. This program’s segments include a conversation with Cornell Professor Jefferson Cowie about the migration of capital and the labor movement, especially as it played out in Bloomington’s RCA plant.

This month on Just You and Me two new archival releases featuring saxophonist Stan Getz occupy center stage. He's captured in performance at San Francisco’s Keystone Korner in 1976 with Joao Gilberto, the man who helped propel Getz to bossa nova superstardom in the 1960s, and with pianist Joanne Brackeen.

Also listen for the music of vocalist Kurt Elling, who’s coming to Bloomington in early April.

For Women’s History Month, our Friday evening show Night Lights takes a look at “Jazz Women of the 1980s,” unheralded composer Sara Cassey, and Ella Fitzgerald’s prolific year of 1957.

On Afterglow, host Mark Chilla spotlights singer Dinah Shore in honor of her centennial and explores the “Great French Songbook,” featuring French popular song, French versions of jazz standards, and songs about Paris.

Meeting the Lawmakers WFIU FM and WTIU TV joined with public broadcasters from around the state in meeting with Indiana lawmakers at the Statehouse early in the legislative session.

The event is an annual gathering that gives station management the opportunity to explain to elected officials the many contributions of public broadcasting.

Public broadcasting reaches an estimated 500,000 Hoosiers each month, and contributes roughly $42 million to the state economy every year.

10:00 PM FIESTA! More New New Music In the 20th century many Western composers cut themselves off from audiences and sheltered themselves in academic cocoons of “avant-garde,” “experimental,” or “new” music. Around the 1980s, some composers began to defy this dry orthodoxy of “contemporary” music, opening the door to music that is not afraid of beauty. Elbio Barilari calls this “new-new” music.

Richard Eyre’s stylish production is set in 1930s Seville and features both new and familiar stars. Bass Mikhail Petrenko sings his first Met Figaro.

Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard reprises her celebrated Cherubino, Luca Pisaroni is the Count, and rising star soprano Anita Hartig sings Susanna in Mozart’s immortal comedy of manners and morals.

10:00 PM FOLKTALES Grace Ah, grace. It’s a state we’d all like to be in, and a trait we can’t ever get enough of. This week we translate that sentiment to music.

According to Shakespeare, “Virtue and genuine graces, in themselves, speak what no words can utter.” With this in mind, we’ll let the music do the talking, as we glide through the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Near East, and the sunny South Pacific.

27 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Wild Things This hour, we try to uncover what conservation really means in the 21st century.

Gifts to WFIU Qualify for Indiana State Tax Credit Receiving your tax documents in the mail during January? Don’t forget that your gifts to WFIU during 2015 receive a credit on your Indiana state taxes.

It’s true. WFIU is licensed to Indiana University and your support of our station qualifies for a tax credit for contributions to colleges and universities located in Indiana.

It’s better than a deduction—it’s a credit that reduces the tax you owe.

And if you itemize, your gift also qualifies for a federal deduction. It’s all money back in your pocket.

For a joint return, Indiana taxpayers may take a tax credit for 50 percent of their gift to WFIU each year with a maximum credit of $200, on a gift of $400 or more.

For a single return, the maximum credit is $100 (based on a gift of $200 or more).

To take advantage of this credit, you will only need to complete one simple form—the Indiana CC-40.

Attach this form to your Indiana income tax return for the 2015 tax year. You may obtain the form online from the State of Indiana’s website IN.gov/dor/.

Follow these four easy steps: Step 1: Send in a gift to WFIU. Make your check out to Indiana University Foundation/WFIU. Step 2: Feel good for supporting public radio!

Step 3: File the CC-40 form.

Step 4: Feel even better when the state of Indiana reduces your taxes!

Why does the state do it? Because strong annual support from donors like you is vital to WFIU and Indiana University, and our universities and colleges are vital to the state . . . but you already knew that. For more information, contact Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or nkrueger@ indiana.edu.
