“Ayesha brings multi-faceted experience to the host chair, having covered some of the pivotal moments in recent history from her vantage point as NPR’s White House correspondent,” said Sarah Gilbert, NPR’s vice president for news programming. “Ayesha’s commitment to the intersection of news, and her wide-ranging appreciation for, and engagement with all things cultural made her the natural choice for this role.” “I am really looking forward to her infectious personality which is a combination of the experience she’s had as a White House correspondent and throughout her career as a reporter,” said Sarah Oliver, Weekend Edition’s executive producer. Rascoe’s White House coverage has included a number of high-profile foreign trips, including President Trump’s 2019 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, Vietnam, and President Obama’s final NATO summit in Warsaw, Poland in 2016. As a part of the White House team, she was also a regular on the NPR Politics Podcast. Prior to joining NPR in 2018, Rascoe covered the White House for Reuters, chronicling Obama’s final year in office and the early days of the Trump administration. Rascoe began her reporting career at Reuters, covering energy and environmental policy news, such as the 2010 BP oil spill and the US response to the Fukushima nuclear crisis in 2011. She also spent a year covering energy legal issues and court cases. She graduated from Howard University in 2007 with a B.A. in journalism.

Olive oil isn’t a typical fat for a banana bread, but it’s definitely a delicious one. This lemon and olive oil banana cake takes banana bread a step further with a richer flavor and a brown sugar glaze that adds a nice pop of sweetness to top it off.

Billie Holiday
Lemon & Olive Oil Banana Cake 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed, very ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp Kosher salt 1 cup coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
For the glaze:
1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar 4 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Preheat the oven to 350 and place a rack in the center. Grease a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan. • In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate pieces and combine well. • In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, zest, and vanilla. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and fold with a spatula until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 40-50 minutes. You want to get that beautiful color on the cake, but at the same time you don’t want to bake all the moisture out of it. So the minute you’re in that zone, pull it. Err on the side of under-baking versus over. • Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the loaf out of the pan to cool completely. • While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together the sugars and the lemon juice until smooth. When the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze on top of the cake, spreading with a spatula to cover.

April is Jazz Appreciation Month, and you can appreciate jazz every weekday afternoon Mondays through Thursdays on Just You & Me, where host David Brent Johnson spotlights new releases from artists such as singer Cecile McLorin Salvant and vibraphonist Joel Ross, as well as classic recordings from Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and other jazz greats. And on Thursday, April 28, two days before International Jazz Day, Just You & Me’s weekly “Jazz from Indiana” program will highlight Indiana jazz artists performing in overseas venues. WFIU jazz programming will also celebrate two notable centennials this month. Afterglow host Mark Chilla pays tribute to Doris Day on Friday, April 1, with highlights of her often-overlooked legacy as a jazz singer. David Brent Johnson will feature newly-released radio broadcasts from Day’s 1940s big-band era on Wednesday, April 6. On Friday, April 22, Night Lights offers a centennial tribute to bassist and composer Charles Mingus, and his music will be heard as well that week on Just You & Me. Other Afterglow programs this month spotlight R&B icon Ray Charles’ countryand-western recordings, singer June Christy’s early “vocal cool” albums for Capitol Records, and songs about dancing, while Night Lights takes a look at the role American jazz artists played in the Cold War of the 1950s and ’60s. Night Lights will also acknowledge the centennial of film composer Elmer Bernstein with a program about the 1957 film Sweet Smell of Success, which featured a Bernstein score and performances by the Chico Hamilton Quintet. Film scholar James Naremore and musicologist Phil Ford provide commentary about the significance of this “showbiz-noir” classic.

This month on Benjamin Franklin
Monday, April 4 and Tuesday, April 5 at 8pm Ken Burns’s two-part, four-hour documentary Benjamin Franklin explores the revolutionary life of one of the 18th century’s most consequential and compelling personalities, whose work and words unlocked the mystery of electricity and helped create the United States. Franklin’s 84 years (1706-1790) spanned an epoch of momentous change in science, technology, literature, politics, and government—fields he himself advanced through a lifelong commitment to societal and self-improvement. Over the course of seven impossibly prolific decades, Franklin ascended professional and social ladders, rising from a printer’s apprentice in provincial Boston to the most popular man in Paris, France. He wrote influential essays, coined words and phrases still used today, established enduring institutions in his adopted Philadelphia, introduced groundbreaking theories about the natural world, developed life-saving inventions, and contributed as much as anyone to the foundation of the American Republic. But Franklin’s life was full of contradictions, and his success came at a cost. Achievements as a writer, printer, scientist, and statesman brought him worldwide acclaim but divided him from his family. Though he would later speak out against slavery, he owned and enslaved people in his middle age. He denounced the white men who killed native people indiscriminately while also championing the expansion of white settlements onto indigenous lands. He did all he could to enhance the British Empire, then gave everything he had to win America’s independence.

Franklin’s influence was unmatched in his time, and his impact remains with us today. “If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten,” he said in Poor Richard’s Almanack, “either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.” Benjamin Franklin did both.
