Juana Summers joins ‘All Things Considered’ Juana Summers recently started as the newest cohost of All Things Considered. Previously she was a correspondent covering race, justice, and politics for NPR. She fills the hosting position left vacant by Audie Cornish, who departed NPR for CNN in January. She joins Ailsa Chang, Mary Louise Kelly, Ari Shapiro, and Michel Martin in rotating through host duties across the show and podcast. “One of the things that I’m the most excited about is that every day I get to sit in that seat and be a standin for a smart, curious listener who cares deeply about issues and the world around them,” Summers said. According to NPR executives, Summers was selected to be the next All Things Considered co-host because of her authoritative reporting expertise, her versatile journalistic talent, and her drive to explore and interrogate the most challenging questions of the moment. “She is a first-rate journalist with an enviable track record,” said Sarah Gilbert, vice president for news programming at NPR. “She’s a natural leader and connects with people in a way that makes them feel heard, and she has an instinct for creative storytelling that is second to none.” Summers, who is Black, said she hopes to further expand All Things Considered’s reach to new and diverse audiences. She aims to reach more people whose experiences are not typically represented in the media and empower them to tell their stories on air. “It’s important for all of us to be thinking really critically about how we create space and opportunity for women and people of color and others from marginalized backgrounds to grow and to feel valued and to be their authentic selves at work,” Summers said. “I think that the fact that ATC selected someone like me is a testament to the fact that NPR and NPR’s leadership takes that incredibly seriously.” She also said she hopes to do more in digital spaces to reach younger audiences.

“I really see this as an opportunity for a person who maybe has to bring the voices of people who perhaps have never heard of NPR or think that NPR is not a place for them, to convince them that they’re wrong and that this can be a news home for them,” Summers said.

Rustic Plum Tarts We are once again embracing our love of puff pastry, this time with some plums. These tartlets have just enough fluff and crunch, cut through by the sweetness and tartness of the plums. Just a fantastic summer treat!
For the pastry dough:
For the tarts:
2-1/4 c. of all-purpose flour, plus some for dusting the work surface
5 red plums, pitted and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1 t. salt
1/2 c. (or more) of brown sugar
2 t. sugar 16 T. cold unsalted butter (2 sticks, cut into 16 pieces) About 6 T. ice water, plus more as needed. Start by putting 1/2 cup of water in the freezer. Next, cut the two sticks of butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and place in the freezer while you prepare the dry ingredients. Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in the container of a food processor. Pulse the dry ingredients once or twice. Add the chilled butter, and pulse repeatedly until the butter and flour are blended and the mixture looks like cornmeal, with some pea-sized chunks of butter remaining, about 10-20 seconds. (If you don’t have a food processor, use a pastry blender, pressing the blades into the butter and flour mixture, rocking and repeating until the butter is incorporated into the flour.) Dump the mixture in a bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the ice water over it. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to carefully incorporate the water. Add 3 more tablespoons and continue to blend. Too much mixing will over-develop the gluten. Gradually gather the mixture into a ball. If the mixture seems dry, add another 1/2 tablespoon ice water. Form the mixture into a ball with your hands. It’s okay if it is a bit crumbly.
1/4 c. almond flour (or finely ground almonds) 1/4 c. panko bread crumbs Preheat oven to 425F. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Combine bread crumbs and almond flour in a bowl. Divide dough into 5 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a rough circle about 1/8-inch thick and place onto baking sheets. Place 1-1/2 tablespoons of the bread crumb/almond flour mixture in the center of each dough circle. Arrange plum slices on top of the mixture in a circle, overlapping slices. Top each plum circle with 1-1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar, sprinkled over the plum slices. Fold the edges of the pie dough over the plum slices, leaving the centers open. Brush the dough with milk or cream, and sprinkle white sugar over the pie dough generously. Place tarts in 425F oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350F. Bake for 15 more minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and plums are bubbly.
Divide dough into two pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, flatten into a small disk, and freeze the dough for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes. You can also refrigerate the dough for a day or two or freeze it for a month or so. Sprinkle a clean countertop with flour. Unwrap one of the dough disks and place it on the work surface. Sprinkle the top with flour and rub some flour onto a rolling pin. Roll from the center out. Don’t worry if it seems too stiff or hard to roll. It will soften as it warms up. Your goal is to keep it from warming too much. If the dough seems sticky at first, add flour liberally. If it becomes sticky after you have been working with it for a few minutes, return it to the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Continue to roll, adding sprinkles of flour as necessary. Rotate the dough occasionally, and turn it over once or twice during the process. Don’t panic if it splits, cracks, or isn’t smooth and easy to work with. That means you haven’t used too much water and have not overworked it. Use some ragged edges of dough to repair any tears, adding a drop of water while you press the patch into place.

August is National Make-A-Will Month
This month on On Broadway
Eight little words: “Please remember WFIU in your will or trust.” Simple words that could make a huge difference to us.
For anyone who loves theater, this contemporary history of Broadway is pure joy. As audiences return to live theater, an allstar cast tells the inside story of the last time Broadway came back from the brink. On Broadway shows how this revival helped save New York City, thanks to innovative work, new attention to inclusion, and the sometimes-uneasy balance between art and commerce.
Every day, nonprofit organizations go to the stream of donations to ask for support. You can help WFIU build its own stream in the world of financial support that will enable us to do more—and to put at least a little less daily fundraising pressure on ourselves and on our audience.
Monday, August 15 at 8pm
Consider remembering WFIU during National Make-A-Will Month this August. Suggested wording for including WFIU in your estate plan is below:

Archival clips of iconic performances by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, James Earl Jones, and Mandy Patinkin punctuate this hurly-burly ride through the main street of American show business. From Academy Awardnominated director Oren Jacoby and the producers of RBG, this documentary shows how Broadway led the way in the city’s last great rebirth and provides a model of how it can come back again.

Jazz Notes As summer starts to come to an end, our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me will offer a preview of the return of the popular Bloomington Boogies music festival, which takes place this year from August 12-15. And speaking of returns, at the end of the month we’ll revive an old show tradition by featuring Kansas City artists such as Charlie Parker and Lester Young, as well as music from the 1996 Robert Altman film Kansas City.
Night Lights follows Afterglow with shows this month about jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby, the unsung saxophonist Percy France, the role that talk-show host Steve Allen played in promoting jazz, and a new collection of little-heard 1940s jazz from the Black and White record label. And Swing in September is on the way! To see the schedule of artists for all five Fridays (that’s right—five Fridays this September, so five concerts!) and to check out past performances from the WFIU-Jacobs School series, go to wfiu.org/swinginseptember. You can also hear musical previews and more information about the concerts on Just You & Me.

This month our Friday evening jazz-and-popular-song vocals program Afterglow wraps up a three-part centennial tribute to Judy Garland with a look at her final years. Other episodes put the Afterglow spotlight on the recordings that pianist Dave Brubeck and trumpeter Clark Terry each made with singers, as well as the lesser-known songwriting team of Walter Donaldson and Gus Kahn.
