It’s been a busy year in the world of public broadcasting. And it’s the time of year we pause to assess what we’ve done—and what we have yet to do. WFIU has provided 365 days of programming in south central Indiana on the main channel and on HD2, along with two digital internet streams of our signal to the wider world. We’ve brought the news of the nation and world to Indiana. We’ve syndicated many programs Cary Boyce and specials made at the station to new audiences across the nation. Our local news and arts bureaus have expanded and improved coverage. We have established many local and national partnerships to help us accomplish these things. And we have paused to recognize the achievements and the legacy of some of our broadcast colleagues who have retired. We wish them well in new ventures or in some much deserved rest.

Much has been accomplished this year: • WFIU replaced an aging and increasingly unreliable transmitter with a new one that should serve well for the next several decades. This $100,000 project was paid in part by one of the last facilities grants to be awarded before the federally funded program ended. In addition to running at optimal power and efficiency now, the new transmitter increases our digital “footprint” to nearly match our analog range on 103.7 FM, extending and stabilizing the reach of HD broadcasting. • News coverage has expanded tremendously. WFIU is covering more state and local stories than ever before, and you’ve heard more of our voices on national newscasts from NPR. • In addition, a new WFIU/NPR/Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations partnership called StateImpact Indiana covers news about the policies, trends, and issues of education across Indiana, both on-air and online. We’ve added two full-time reporters who work with NPR editors to cover this important and often volatile topic. You can check it out at wfiu.org with a click on the StateImpact box. We are working hard now to make this project sustainable.

• News Bureau Chief Sara Wittmeyer is working with the IU School of Journalism to mentor students in broadcast news. Dozens of new interns at the undergraduate and graduate level come here to apply their formal educations in practical ways, to develop in-depth, balanced reporting as they grow into the next generation of professional journalists. • We export the best of Indiana’s cultural and intellectual life to the nation and abroad. Staple programs such as our early music show Harmonia (which celebrated 20 years on the air last month), the jazz show Night Lights, and A Moment of Science, written in partnership with the IU science community, continue to thrive. • WFIU was also the nation’s #2 provider of public radio content to the national public radio exchange system (PRX),

• The WFIU/WTIU/Indiana Public Media Web site doubles and redoubles its traffic every few months. This explosive growth is due in large part to the high quality content and news we place online, but it’s also due to a massive online rebuild of our Web site that has been underway for the better part of three years now. WFIU is a national leader in providing public media content online. You can find archives of your favorite WFIU programs, or seek out a feature you have a special interest in. There are challenges, of course: Equipment fails, technologies evolve. The workforce across the public broadcasting system is adjusting as the trend of retirements and downsizing continues. And we face ever-present budget and funding issues: • As of this printing, state funding remains down 50% from where it was two years ago. We hope to remain at this level. Nationally, the case is grimmer, as some states have zeroed out funds for public broadcasting altogether, and federal funds remain uncertain as various budget measures make their way through committees in Washington, D.C. We encourage you to visit 170millionamericans.org for the latest information on the national level, and let your legislators know what you think. • Indiana University, facing its own budget restrictions, has cut our allocation in line with the level of cuts to most University departments.
• National program dues from NPR and others increased recently. We kept our national programming fees capped by making some difficult programming changes in light of support, listenership, and listener comments. It’s an imperfect science, but we continue to monitor our programming to bring you the best value that we can afford. • NPR is developing of a suite of online services that duplicate in many ways services we have already put in place. This may be accompanied by a set of mandatory fees that would amount to a 10 percent increase in programming costs—a move that may force further hard choices. But we are in discussions with NPR to state our case that increases in such costs have negative consequences. • We’ve experienced more than our fair share of technical difficulties. Some human error is involved, of course, and complex systems fail in complex ways—both on our side, and from NPR’s and other syndicators. We’ve taken steps to ameliorate what we can. But one major cause—and the one proving most stubborn—is aging and failing equipment. We are making strides toward replacing this hardware as quickly as we can. As with many businesses across the country now, money is tight—but your public radio station is in good standing for the moment. We operate a tight fiscal ship, even as we expand our place as a national leader in the development of public broadcasting.
Who Needs an English Major? Sunday, November 13, 8 p.m. In a troubled economy, it’s hard to make the case for a degree in English. More undergrads are choosing “practical” degrees in engineering, or nursing, or—the most popular college major in America these days—business. But advocates of liberal arts programs say their graduates are still among the most likely to become leaders, and that a healthy democracy depends on citizens with a broad and deep education. In this special from the American RadioWorks’ Tomorrow’s College series, host/producer Stephen Smith explores the value of an English degree In eastern Kentucky, Berea College aims to give students from the southern Appalachian mountains a chance to break out of poverty—by earning liberal arts degrees. Virtually all the students come from the bottom third of America’s economic ladder, and the college does not charge tuition. More than half are the first in their family to go to college. At Portland State University in Oregon, educators are trying to stop students from dropping out by grounding its liberal arts program in the real world, and by making undergraduate liberal arts education more relevant and engaging to both students and the community. The school’s motto: “Let Knowledge Serve the City.”
Listeners and supporters like you make this possible We ask you once again for your help during this year’s fund drive. Our goal for this November is $360,000. You have our thanks for your generous and consistent support, and we will strive as always to interrupt regular programming for only one stretch of about 10 days. Your pledge this year will help us get through this time quickly and efficiently—but more to the point, it will help us stay on the air with the programming you love. Thank you for your help and commitment. Sincerely, Cary Boyce Station Operations Director

surpassing even WNYC in New York City. We’ve added several new specials, such as A Latin American Christmas (produced in English and Spanish with the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music’s Latin American Music Center), Unearthing Dracula featuring IU’s resident vampire expert Jeffrey Holdeman from the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, and Earth Eats Thanksgiving with Chef Daniel Orr and several local musical artists; and we’ve provided several jazz, classical, and early music specials that have been picked up nationally. We developed Security Matters, a one-minute module about how people can keep themselves “Cyber-Safe,” in partnership with Indiana University’s Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research. Our arts bureau is expanding as well, to better cover the arts locally. More exciting special programs are planned for next year.
APUS liberal arts graduate Tim Caucutt and his online college campus
Tim Caucutt earned a liberal arts degree from a university with an enrollment of about 60,000—without ever laying eyes on a fellow student. Caucutt completed his B.A. in political science from the American Military University, a completely online institution. It’s part of the for-profit American Public University System, which believes the liberal arts can be a money maker. November 2011 / Directions in Sound / Page 3
Intelligence Squared
An Earth Eats Thanksgiving Sunday, November 13, 9 p.m.
Sunday, November 20, 8 p.m. In a modern, post-industrial economy that seems better suited to women than men, many are wondering if men have been permanently left behind. Education and employment statistics point to a clear and growing dominance in women’s status at home and in the workplace. Are men primed for a comeback or have the old rules changed for good? Tonight on Intelligence Squared, panelists debate the motion, “Men are finished.” For the motion: Dan Abrams, a legal analyst for ABC News, substitute anchor for Good Morning America, host of the TV newsmagazine Chasing Justice, and author of Hanna Rosin Man Down; and journalist Hanna Rosin, author of last year’s controversial article in The Atlantic, “The End of Men,” and founding editor of DoubleX, a blog dedicated to “what women really think about news, politics, and culture.” Against the motion: Christina Hoff Sommers, a former philosophy professor who is best known for her critique of late-20th century David Zinczenko feminism, author of Who Stole Feminism? and The War Against Boys; and David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health and editorial director of Women’s Health, and author of the series Eat This, Not That!, and a regular contributor to The Today Show. The moderator is John Donvan, a correspondent for ABC News Nightline. He has served as ABC White House Correspondent, along with posts in Moscow, London, Jerusalem and Amman.
What does it take to cook the perfect turkey? What dishes would vegetarians enjoy? What about persimmon pudding instead of pumpkin pie? Follow Chef Daniel Orr as he prepares a uniquely local and seasonal Thanksgiving feast on An Earth Eats Thanksgiving. Chef Orr, the owner of FARMbloomington restaurant, shows us how to cook a sumptuous treat for the eyes as well as the tummy. And while he has things simmering and baking, we’ll hear some local musical sizzle from home-grown favorites Krista Detor and Tom Roznowski, among others. And until dinner’s ready, you can hear Earth Eats on Saturdays at 12:38 p.m., or online at eartheats.org. Your host is Annie Corrigan.
Raymond Leppard: A Life in Music Sundays at 9 p.m. In January 2011, Conductor Laureate of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Raymond Leppard, his longtime friend Rich Kleinfeldt, and two producers sat down at his home in Indianapolis. Over two days, the maestro brought to life the stories and memories contained in his new memoir, Music Made Me. Now, these sessions are a oncein-a-lifetime series, Raymond Leppard: A Life in Music. During the recording sessions, Leppard gave freely of himself, recounting stories, relationships, and memories in his inimitable style. As you’ll hear, he tells colorful stories of exceptional experiences and of friendships with remarkable people, which came together to form a formidable life in music. This rare radio experience is woven around Leppard’s body of recording work as music director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. “Throughout the sessions he was always jovial and positive,” says co-producer Vic Muenzer, who has worked with Leppard for more than twenty years. “There were times when the burden of recounting such cherished moments in the compressed time of two days got to him. But he held nothing back, and the result touched us deeply.” Host for the series is Rich Kleinfeldt, a professional musician, teacher and lecturer, and host for Center Stage at Wolf Trap and Indianapolis-on-the-Air. This thirteen-part series begins with these episodes. Sunday, November 20 Topics discussed: Bombing of Bath, England; my first music teacher; hometown of Bath, England in the modern world. Elgar: The Wand of Youth Suite 1 Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 25 in C Major, K 503 Pascal Rogé, piano Sunday, November 27 Topics discussed: Radio was an early influence; at Cambridge University, taking

WFIU’s contemporary composer for the month of November is Eric Moe. Moe’s music has been described as “music of winning exuberance,” “maximal minimalism,” and “Rachmaninoff in hell.” The New York Times says his music “subversively inscribe[s] classical music into pop culture.” Moe’s works range from solo works to instrumentations of large orchestral pieces, as well as electroacoustic and multi-media works. His one-woman opera, Tri-Stan, features a mezzo-soprano and chamber orchestra, and combines elements of Greek mythology in the story with music from Richard Strauss’ Elektra and the theme song from The Brady Bunch. Other recent works include Strenuous Pleasures for a small mixed ensemble, Hot Keys for solo piano, and Jozaphine Freedom for soprano, clarinet and piano. A pianist and keyboard player, Moe has premiered and performed works by a wide variety of composers, from Anthony Davis to Stefan Wolpe. His playing can be heard in the music of John Cage, Roger Zahab, and Felix Draeseke in addition to his own. His solo recording The Waltz Project Revisited—New Waltzes for Piano, is a compilation of waltzes for piano by two generations of American composers. Moe has received numerous grants and awards for his work, including commissions from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Fromm Foundation, and Meet-the-Composer USA; and residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the and the American Dance Festival. He teaches composition and theory at the University of Pittsburgh and has held visiting professorships at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University. WFIU will feature music composed by Eric Moe throughout the month of November.

Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm
“I have a bomb here and I would like you to sit by me.” That was the note handed to a stewardess by a mildmannered passenger on a Northwest Orient flight in 1971. It was the start of one of the most astonishing whodunits in the history of American true crime: how one man extorted $200,000 from an airline, then parachuted into the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and into oblivion. D. B. Cooper’s case obsessed and cursed his pursuers with everything from bankruptcy to suicidal despair. Now with Skyjack, journalist Geoffrey Gray delves into this unsolved mystery and uncovers new leads. Starting with a tip from a private investigator turned suspect (a Cooper lookalike, Northwest employee, and trained paratrooper), Gray is propelled into the murky depths of the decadesold case, conducting new interviews and obtaining a first-ever look at Cooper’s FBI file. The book begins with a heart-stopping recreation of the crime itself, from cabin to cockpit to tower, and portraits of characters who either chased Cooper or might have committed the crime, including Ralph Himmelsbach, the most dogged of FBI agents, who watched with horror as a criminal became a counter-culture folk hero; Karl Fleming, a respected reporter whose career was destroyed by a Cooper scoop that turned out to be a scam; and Barbara (née Bobby) Dayton, a transsexual pilot who insisted she was Cooper herself. Based on first-hand interviews, letters, diaries, medical records, and confidential documents, Skyjack reopens one of the great cold cases of the 20th century.

Giving Thanks with John Birge
A Musical Feast Crossword
On Thanksgiving day at 10 p.m, WFIU presents Giving Thanks—a thoughtful, contemporary reflection on the meaning of the holiday with music and stories, hosted by Minnesota Public Radio’s John Birge.
by Myles Mellor
John Birge
Birge created Giving Thanks sixteen years ago when he had to work on Thanksgiving morning. “I started the first Thanksgiving broadcast at 6 a.m.,” he recalls, “alone in the studio but palpably aware of being part of a larger community giving thanks.” “That sense was reinforced by many kind listeners, working quietly in the kitchen or loading up the car, who called to say thanks for the program.” “One caller was eager for a copy of an essay I read on the air, to share with Chinese students she had invited to dinner. She felt it would be a good way to explain to them the meaning of the holiday. When I offered her a copy over the phone, she turned up minutes later—in robe and slippers—outside the front door of the station!” Classical music is the heart of Giving Thanks. This year’s selections include works by Bach and Copland, and the world premiere performance of Table Grace, Matthew Brown’s choral setting of a grace by Garrison Keillor, sung by VocalEssence. There are also segments with author, screenwriter, and movie director Nora Ephron, who shares Thanksgiving stories and a personal gratitude list from her latest book; and humorist Roy Blount Jr., who remembers his boyhood Thanksgiving in the South with his essay “The Way Folks Were Meant to Eat.”

What do you enjoy about WFIU’s jazz programming? Maybe you like the mellow exuberance of Just You and Me, and the “Jazz From Indiana” segment profiling great Indiana jazz artists both past and present. Or perhaps you’ve discovered our new Friday evening program Jazz Inspired, where Judy Carmichael interviews guests from all walks of life about the ways jazz has influenced their lives. Or maybe Joe Bourne’s continuing broadcasts on Friday afternoons and evenings is a perfect way to end your work week. Whatever takes you to WFIU, we ask that you let it take you to the phone—to call us with a pledge of support at 1-800-662-3311. (Or to your computer, where you can make your pledge online at wfiu.org.) Fund Drive beings November 4th, and we’re excited about our thank you gift David Baker: a Legacy in Music. This new book from the IU Press tells the story of Baker’s life and career, with essays by colleagues and friends and a CD of his music that features many hard-to-find and previously-unreleased recordings. David Baker helped create another one of our remarkable thank you gifts: Jazz: the Smithsonian Anthology, a new, beautifullypackaged 6-CD set and 200-page hardbound book that traces the turning points in the history of jazz. You’ll hear music from this collection during our Fund Drive shows. After Fund Drive on Friday, November 25, Afterglow founding host Dick Bishop Don Cherry joins us at 10 p.m. for “Hoagy in Hollywood,” a look at the film music of Hoagy Carmichael. The Saturday, November 19 edition of Night Lights pays a 75th anniversary-of-birth tribute to the late free-jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, featuring his recordings both as a leader and as a sideman with Ornette Coleman’s legendary late 1950s quartet.

Brian Greene
“What Is Space?” Wednesday, November 2, 9 p.m. From the passenger seat of a New York cab driving near the speed of light to a pool hall where billiard tables do fantastical things, Brian Greene reveals space as a dynamic fabric that can stretch, twist, warp, and ripple under the influence of gravity. “The Illusion of Time” Wednesday, November 9, 9 p.m. Brian Greene takes us on the ultimate time traveling adventure, hurtling 50 years into the future before stepping into a wormhole to travel back to the past. Along the way, he will reveal a new way of thinking about time in which moments past, present, and future. “Quantum Leap” Wednesday, November 16, 9 p.m. Join Brian Greene on a wild ride into the weird realm of quantum physics, which governs the universe on the tiniest of scales. Greene brings quantum mechanics to life in a nightclub like no other, where objects pop in and out of existence and things over here can affect others over there, instantaneously. “Universe or Multiverse?” Wednesday, November 23, 9 p.m. Brian Greene takes us on a tour of a brave new theory at the frontier of physics: that our universe may not be the only one. Instead, it may be just one of an infinite number of worlds that make up the multiverse.
