John Bailey, WFIU’s program director for the past three years, stepped into his new role as station operations director on April 1, trading positions with Will Murphy, who had been at the helm since 2012.

In a note to staff, Will wrote, “We’re implementing John Bailey the change at my request, and I feel the switch will be good for John, for me, and for the station. I couldn’t be happier that someone for whom I have so much respect will be moving into the position.”

Will’s new responsibilities include overseeing spokenword programming such as Arts Desk coverage and Profiles, a shift that brings him closer to his WFIU roots as news director from 1999 to 2007. Like Will, John is in his third decade in public radio, and has assumed roles ranging from classical host to director of membership and marketing.

Weekend Staples Will Stay This spring, about 450 listeners took WFIU's online survey to tell us what the future of public radio staples such as A Prairie Home Companion and Car Talk should be.

Garrison Keillor is retiring soon, and more than half the respondents said we should give Keillor’s successor, Chris Thile, a chance. We’re planning to air the 13 new shows he’ll host in the year to come, along with 26 archival Keillor programs. We’ll also use the summer rerun season to let you sample new public radio shows and give us your opinions.

You also asked that we continue Car Talk on Saturday mornings at 10. For this coming year we will do just that.

Thank you for speaking up and helping us to serve you better!

May 29 – Tony Buba/Joseph Bernard

Tony Buba

Joseph Bernard

Tony Buba has been producing documentary films since 1972. Many of his films concern issues in his hometown of Braddock, Pennsylvania. These include Voices from a Steeltown, a series of vignettes of signs of life in the dying mill town, and his first feature-length documentary, Lightning Over Braddock: A Rustbowl Fantasy, an “exploded documentary.” His 1994 fictional feature film, No Pets, explored the psychological realities of postindustrial working-class life. Josh Brewer hosts.

Joseph Bernard is a painter, filmmaker, and mixed-media artist. A former student of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage, Bernard’s films are kaleidoscopic abstractions of light and texture. His collage paintings utilize acrylic paint and inks on wood panels, layered with found objects such as hair, seaweed, feathers, onion skin, and crushed cans. Bernard has taught fine arts at Detroit’s College for Creative Studies. Yaël Ksander hosts.

Afterglow airs each Friday at 8 p.m., and shows are archived for online listening afterward at indianapublicmedia.org/afterglow.

Night Lights follows at 9, with shows this month focusing on trombonist Melba Liston, jazz eulogies for departed musicians, and the final years of trumpeter Miles Davis’ career.

After Night Lights stick around for the laidback late-night jazz of The Best of Bob Parlocha, which airs Friday from ten p.m. till 2 a.m., and then again Saturday evening beginning at midnight.

Captured by the Germans and condemned to a prisoner of war camp, Messiaen composed his 20th century masterpiece with the help of other imprisoned musicians and with the protection of a sympathetic guard. On March 30 of this year, Jacobs School musicians James Campbell, Sibbi Bernhardsson, Futaba Niekawa, and Hyeok Kwon performed the work at Auer Hall.

9:00 PM MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE A portrait of the music and lives of composers Viktor Ullmann and Gideon Klein, who were imprisoned in Terezin, the “model ghetto” created by the Germans in World War II. Many of Europe’s greatest artists, musicians, and writers were held in the camp, and were expected to continue to create and perform there during the war. More than 70 years later, some of Ullmann and Klein’s music has been rediscovered in attics, under beds, and hidden in libraries around the world. Megan Williams produced this documentary for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Our path weaves across the Americas, through Europe, and into Asia, Africa, Australia and India.

8 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Blame We’ve all felt it, that irresistible urge to point the finger. But new technologies are complicating age-old moral conundrums about accountability. This hour, we ask what blame does for us. Why do we need it, when isn’t it enough, and what happens when we try to push past it with forgiveness and mercy?

9:00 PM HARMONIA I Bite My Thumb at Thee!

We’re going against the grain this week on Harmonia, as we feature the most radical musical diversions from the norm, courtesy of some of the most bold, daring, or slightly insane minds of early music.

10:00 PM FIESTA! Exiles and Émigrés Displacement due to political causes has been sadly common throughout history. By force or by choice composers (and other artists) have abandoned their homeland to become exiles or migrants in a different country. Elbio Barilari examines the cases of Manuel de Falla’s exile in Argentina, Paul Bowles’ lifelong affair with Spain and Latin America, and Conlon Nancarrow becoming an American-Mexican composer.

Beginning in our own United States, we’ll be touring Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, and beyond, with a special tribute to Decoration Day in Civil War times.

Janis: Little Girl Blue – American Masters Tuesday, May 3, 8 p.m.

One of the most revered and influential rock ’n’ roll singers of all time, Janis Joplin thrilled audiences and blazed new creative trails before her death in 1970 at age 27. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg examines Joplin’s story in depth, presenting an intimate portrait of a complicated and driven artist.

Janis: Little Girl Blue features neverbefore-seen archival performance footage and new interviews with musicians who were inspired by Janis: Alecia Moore (a.k.a. Pink), Juliette Lewis, Melissa Etheridge, and the film’s narrator, Chan Marshall, best known as indie rock star

Philanthropy Made Easy Your largest single financial asset may be the tax-deductible contributions to retirement plans you make during your working years.

But while retirement plans such as TIAA-CREF, traditional IRAs, or 401(k) plans are excellent vehicles to accruing wealth, they are not effective at transferring it to heirs.

If you pass on before you deplete your retirement plan savings, the taxation on them can be surprisingly high.

Those retirement dollars will be subject to taxation by the IRS, which could substantially reduce the remainder of your account resulting in a gift that is not as generous as you may have intended for your beneficiaries!

Charitable giving offers an alternative to having your retirement assets eaten up by taxes. Consider designating your retirement plan balance to worthwhile causes, such as a nonprofit you value, and redirecting assets with less tax liability to your family and friends.

Making a gift through your retirement plan is simple and does not require a lawyer. All you need do is contact the retirement plan administrator and request a beneficiary form.

bandmates; Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Country Joe McDonald (Country Joe and the Fish), Kris Kristofferson, Dick Cavett, and Clive Davis—give a complete sense of a woman haunted by lifelong insecurity and a need for acceptance despite her on-stage bravado and uninhibited, sexualized persona.

The film explores Joplin’s childhood, struggles with addiction, active role in the musical and cultural revolution of the 1960s, surprising rise to stardom, and untimely demise. Her own words tell much of her story through a series of letters she wrote to her parents, many of them made public for the first time.

Other previously-unseen material that Berg discovered during the seven years she spent making the film includes new audio and video of Joplin in the studio as well as rare footage from Joplin’s emotional return to her hometown, Port Arthur, Texas, for her tenth high school reunion.

There are a multitude of options.

You could choose five different charities and designate 20% of your remaining retirement savings to each organization, escaping all taxes. Or you can have your spouse named as primary beneficiary with WFIU as the secondary beneficiary, or, you could designate 90% to your spouse and 10% of the remainder to WFIU. Of course, consulting with your family or a lawyer is always wise, but the process is simple enough that no legal assistance is required.
