Invisibilia (Latin for “all the invisible things”) is a new series that explores the unseen forces—ideas, beliefs, and emotions—that shape human behavior. Produced by NPR’s Science Desk and created and co-hosted by NPR’s Lulu Miller and Alix Spiegel, who also helped create the groundbreaking programs Radiolab and This American Life, Invisibilia weaves narrative storytelling with fascinating new psychological and brain science. Spiegel and Miller take you into the real-world consequences of our expectations—sometimes so powerful that they can overcome physical disability. “Invisibilia will introduce you to people and ideas you've never encountered before,” Spiegel says. “We profile unusual people because their experiences allow us to look more closely at the invisible forces that shape us all—things like fear and empathy.” Meet a woman who literally has no fear, and learn how the rest of us might “turn off” fear. Hear the story of a blind man who says expectations have helped him see. Meet a man who has merged with his computer, and a woman who physically feels what others feel. Invisibilia debuts May 3 and we’ll broadcast the pilot season of six episodes throughout May and June, interspersing them with specials.

I started working at WFIU as an IU sophomore during the Eisenhower administration—reading the news, and later a scripted 15-minute jazz show. Over the years, I’ve been so fortunate. But now it’s time to move on. I’ll be doing my last Standards by Starlight for WFIU on Friday, May 29. I am so grateful for the support I’ve received from our listeners, Dick Bishop in the 1970s the University, our underwriters, production supporters, volunteers, staff, and administrators. A special appreciation goes out to my engineers over the years and especially to Mike Paskash. Mike, you made Afterglow and Standards by Starlight a treat to host because of your dedication and skill. In a letter to Perry Metz and Will Murphy, I quoted Noël Coward: Give me a moon Give me a tune Give me a dancing floor. There’s a younger generation Knock knock knocking at the door. I have every confidence that our “younger generation” will carry on the tradition we’ve helped to establish. It’s been a delight. Thank you!

The Radio Reader with Dick Estell
The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown Begins approx. May 12 Listen to the remarkable account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did— shocking the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz—a farmboy from the Pacific Northwest who was abandoned as a child. Without family or prospects, he rows to regain his shattered selfregard and find a place for himself in the world. Based on meticulous research including the boys’ own journals and oral narrative, Daniel James Brown has created a finely-etched portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

This month on WTIU television The 12th Annual O’Bannon Institute for Community Service Thursday, May 28 at 10 p.m.; Friday, May 29 at 1 p.m.; Sunday, May 31 at 4 p.m. Join WTIU host Joe Hren for highlights of the 2015 O’Bannon Institute. Speakers include Sir Bob Geldof—recording artist, author, and philanthropist; and entrepreneur Shiza Shahid, co-founder of the Malala Fund. The theme of this year’s Institute is “Be the Change: Discover Your (Super) Power.” Sir Bob Geldof is widely recognized for his activism. He co-founded the group Band Aid to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia, and organized the successful Live Aid and Live 8 charity concerts. He has written a number of articles for publications including TIME, and for television created and hosted the six-part BBC series Geldof in Africa. He has received a number of awards, including the Nobel Man of Peace award, and was knighted at age 34 in recognition of his Sir Bob Geldof charity work. Social activist Shiza Shahid will be the Institute’s keynote speaker. Of Pakistani origin, she is global ambassador of the Malala Fund, the organization led by Malala Yousafzai that promotes education for girls around the world who are denied schooling because of social, economic, and political reasons. A graduate of Stanford University, Shahid was previously a business analyst at McKinsey & Company in the Middle East. She was named one of TIME’s 30 Under 30 World Changers. The O’Bannon Institute is Ivy Tech Community College-Bloomington’s annual signature event that presents discussions related to nonprofits, education, and political and civic service. Previous speakers at the Institute include former First Lady Laura W. Bush and retired General Colin Powell.
We tend to associate the concept of “leaving a legacy” with great wealth. But legacies can take many shapes—anything from tangible property to life lessons or accomplishments that inspire others can comprise a legacy. When you provide for the people you hold dear, you ensure a legacy of caring. Once you have provided for your family and friends, you may wish to turn to personal philanthropy for organizations you cherish. Should you include WFIU in your will, you will enable us to strengthen the programs you care about, leaving a legacy that will be appreciated by future listeners. The simplest way to leave a legacy is to designate WFIU as a beneficiary of a retirement or insurance plan, or to name WFIU in your will. You may designate that your gift be devoted to a specific purpose. Or you can let WFIU decide how best to use your gift to further its mission—an unrestricted gift. And since these types of gifts are flexible, you can make adjustments should your family or charitable goals change. If you’ve made a provision for WFIU in your estate planning, please let us know so you can become a member of our Limestone Legacy Circle—our way of honoring those who have made a planned gift to the station. Would you like to receive a free, no-obligation booklet to help prepare your estate plan? E-mail plannedgiving@ indianapublicmedia.org and request a copy of the Personal and Charitable Financial Record. For more information, contact Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer at Radio-Television Services, at 812-855-2935 or nkrueger@indiana.edu.
