“Feed your mind and feed the community.” That’s the theme of WFIU’s fall membership drive, scheduled for October 15-21. You’re already a member of WFIU, so you know the value of the programming we provide. It’s likely that you tune to WFIU for Morning Edition, classical or jazz music, Fresh Air, All Things Considered, or Wait, Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! The fall drive is a great opportunity to invest in that programming with a sustaining pledge. Prior to the on-air drive, we’ll conduct a Web-based, “silent” drive from October 8-14. The silent drive will lay a foundation for our most important annual fundraising effort. As an incentive to make your pledge early, everyone who pledges during the silent drive will be entered into a drawing for a pair of Bose noisecancelling headphones. And we have yet another incentive for you to show your support. Thanks to a partnership with Green BEAN Delivery, every pledge to WFIU from October 8 through the 21st will also help feed the hungry in communities across south-central Indiana. With each renewing pledge to WFIU during our drive, Green BEAN will provide two pounds of fresh produce to Hoosier Hills Food Bank. For every new or sustaining pledge, Green BEAN will double the contribution to four pounds of produce. It’s a great way to feed your mind and feed the community. It was 65 years ago, on September 30, 1950, that WFIU first went on the air. Thanks to the support from listeners over the years, you’re able to enjoy the programs you hear today on WFIU. Help guarantee the future of that programming for the next generation with your pledge of support. Thank you!
Come to the Radio-TV Open House! You’re invited to the WFIU-WTIU Open House on Thursday, October 8, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. With our sister station, WTIU, we’ll open our doors to Studios 5 and 6 on the main floor of the Radio-TV Building. The building is right next door to the IU Art Museum. The studios will feature exhibits showcasing the best of WFIU’s and WTIU’s local and national programming. Plus, you’ll have the chance to take a fascinating tour of our broadcast facilities. Bring the kids! This free event will feature the personalities you’ve come to know, and includes light refreshments courtesy of Terry’s Banquets and Catering, Oliver Winery, and Bloomington Brewing Company. It’s our way of thanking you for your support as you get an insider’s look at public broadcasting.

“October’s in the air,” to quote a lovely tune by Indiana jazz legend Al Cobine, and that means falling leaves, cool evenings, Halloween costumes and candy, and the WFIU fund-drive! No tricks, just treats—and we have some great jazz offerings this year from Wes Montgomery, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra, all as our way of saying thanks when you help sustain public radio in southern Indiana. Some highlights from our Friday evening jazz programming this month: On October 9 host Mark Chilla turns the Afterglow spotlight on singer Nina Simone in concert, featuring her appearances at Carnegie Hall, The Village Gate, and the Newport Jazz Festival. On October 2 Night Lights host David Brent Johnson revisits Boston’s famed 1950s Storyville jazz club, and on October 30 he delves into Playboy magazine’s historical relationship with jazz.
