A longtime WFIU listener has said “Thank you WFIU!” with a magnanimous gesture. Mary H. Wennerstrom, a 40-year member and supporter of WFIU, . has given the station H ry Ma an endowed gift of $100,000. The proceeds from the Wennerstrom-Phillips WFIU Classical Music Fund will be used to support classical music programming. The gift will qualify for the faculty match from Indiana University’s Bicentennial Campaign. Mary Wennerstrom served the Jacobs School of Music for more than 52 years. She completed three degrees from IU: a bachelor’s of music degree in piano performance in 1961, a master’s in music theory in 1963, and a doctorate in music theory in 1967. Ms. Wennerstrom joined the faculty of what is now the Jacobs School of Music in 1964 and served as professor and chair of the music theory department and associate dean for instruction until her retirement in 2016. Her late husband Leonard Phillips was a piano performance student at IU in 1957 when they first met. He earned a doctorate in musicology and was later employed by the IU Foundation and served as director of development at the JSOM, retiring in 1997. Mary and her late husband leave a generous musical philanthropic legacy for IU and greater Bloomington, having previously made gifts to support piano scholarships, music theory teaching awards, the Cook Music Library, and now, support for classical music on WFIU. WFIU’s Station Operations Director John Bailey said, “We are floored by Mary’s expression of love for the service we provide. We look forward to putting Mary’s support toward delivering special classical programming and events, and we have assured her that her gift will serve to make the station better.” Mary enjoys the morning news on WFIU followed by Classical Music with George Walker, Performance Today, Exploring Music, Saturday afternoon opera, and the evening symphonic and chamber music broadcasts. She makes good use of the opportunity to switch to WFIU2 to listen to more music! In this season of thankfulness, it is with deep gratitude that WFIU thanks Mary Wennerstrom.

5 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Oliver Sipple One morning, Oliver Sipple went out for a walk. A few hours later, to his surprise, he saved the life of the president of the United States. In the days that followed, Sipple’s split-second act of heroism turned into a rationale for making his personal life into political opportunity. What happened next makes us wonder if a society can demand too much of one person.

This is the ending which is now regularly performed. Tancredi is sung by Heather Johnson and Amenaide by Lindsay Ohse. Anthony Barrese conducts.

12 Sunday 11:00 AM RADIOLAB Jurisdiction What do a duck hunt and a jealous spouse have in common? Just a profound effect on international relations and an existential struggle at the heart of how the U.S. is governed. This hour, we ask who gets to set the rules for the rest of us—from how the intentions of long-dead founding fathers still push and pull us today, to the front lines of a raging musical battle over the soul of hiphop. 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Peak Experience According to beloved mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” This lofty thought is the path we travel this week on Folktales, by way of high altitude musical traditions across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years Saturday, November 25, 8 p.m.
Gratitude and Giving The fall is traditionally a time when we pause and reflect with gratitude on the blessings we have experienced in our life. Unfortunately, this year has been filled with many stories of natural disasters and tragedies. This is one reason you rely on public radio as your primary source of information during important news events. Because it’s the only place you’ll hear the voices of real people affected by the news—and measured, thoughtful, and insightful analysis of what is happening on the ground.

Recent news stories on NPR remind us why real journalism matters. No unfounded conclusions, no speculation. On public radio, it’s voices and facts that matter. And it wouldn’t be possible without your support. If you value this kind of reporting you might consider a special gift to WFIU’s News Programming Endowment Fund (37-0008060). A gift of any size to an endowment means the principal will grow in perpetuity with only the interest being used to support additional activities of WFIU’s award winning news team. As we enter into this season of both gratitude and generosity, your giving is much more than a year-end chore. It helps build strong social and community connections and supports the real voices, the real people affected by the news. It’s a lot of work to
career together—all the while exploring their unique musical gifts and their complementary personalities. After their much-heralded appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, the Beatles toured the world on a relentless schedule for two years, performing 166 concerts in 15 countries. The cultural phenomenon their touring helped create, known as “Beatlemania,” laid the foundation for the globalization of culture. The film includes never-before-seen archival footage of shows and new interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. It captures the exhilaration of The Beatles’ phenomenal rise to fame as well as the toll it took on the band’s members, prompting them to stop touring and devote their prodigious musical talents to studio recordings.
