Leila Fadel Named Newest Host for Morning Edition and Up First NPR has named Leila Fadel as the newest host for Morning Edition as well as the daily morning podcast Up First. Fadel, who will become the show’s fourth host, comes from within NPR where she was most recently a national correspondent based in Los Angeles covering race and identity. “The beautiful thing about hosting is you get to dive into all of these incredibly different subject matters that maybe you didn’t even know you were interested in and hear something and learn something new every single day. And I’m so excited about that,” said Fadel, who has guest hosted the show several times. Fadel, who replaces Noel King, will join co-hosts Steve Inskeep, Rachel Martin, and A Martinez this month. “Leila’s reporting acumen excites me for what Morning Edition can do next,” said Erika Aguilar, executive producer of Morning Edition and Up First. “Her focus on humancentered stories will push us as a show to be more on the ground.” Fadel joined NPR in 2012 as an international correspondent based in Cairo, where she covered the wave of revolts in the Middle East and their aftermath in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and beyond. Her stories ranged from the state-ordered massacre of pro-Muslim Brotherhood protesters in Cairo, to the 2013 coup in Egypt, for which she won the Lowell Thomas Award from the Overseas Press Club.

Since returning to the United States, Fadel has reported on American Muslim communities, race and policing in America as well as inequalities in the nation’s healthcare system laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her “Muslims in America: A New Generation” series, in collaboration with National Geographic, won the Goldziher Prize in 2019. “I see all of these years of experience as something that will just enhance my ability to ask the right questions that people will want to know the answers to,” said Fadel. “I think it’s just going to be something that makes me a better host because I know what it’s like to be in the field and to talk to people.”

“Leila’s depth and experience as a journalist, her singular ability to find and craft stories that have universal resonance, from this country and around the world, made her such a natural choice for this role,” said Sarah Gilbert, vice president for news programming at NPR. “Growing up, I never saw journalists that sounded and looked like me,” said Fadel, a proud Muslim and Arab American, who said her identity is a big part what she brings to her work. “Everybody brings such different perspectives, and it’s really important that we continue to represent all kinds of different Americans in that chair, or different people, rather than Americans, in that chair.”

One of my absolute favorite things to make is pie pastry. But in this recipe, we’re taking a somewhat standard base and doing something different with it: Valentine cutout cookies. Share with a special someone or eat them all yourself. Anything goes!

Valentine’s Pastry Cookies 2 1/4 c. flour 2 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 16 T. cold butter (cut into 1 T. pieces) Cold water Jam Pulse flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add cold butter into flour mixture. Pulse butter a few times until you have pea-sized chunks of butter. Do not overmix. Add cold water one tablespoonful at a time until you have just enough water to make pastry dough to come together. Do not overwork dough. Form into two disks and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll out dough to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. You will need two sizes of heart-shaped cookie cutters (large and small). Use the large heartshaped cookie cutter to cut out all the cookies. Then cut smaller hearts inside half of the cookies to make a heart-shaped frame. Brush cookies with milk or cream. Place heart frames on top of the large hearts. Sprinkle with sugar. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. While still warm, add jam to the center of the hearts.

Billie Holiday
Our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me continues its long-standing Valentine’s Day tradition this year on Monday, February 14 by playing your Valentine’s Day requests and dedications, from music of any genre. (If we receive too many for one show, we’ll play additional requests on Tuesday, February 15.) Listen to Just You & Me and follow WFIU’s social media feeds for more information, or email your requests to host David Brent Johnson (johnsond@iu.edu) by Friday, February 11. February is also Black History Month, and our Friday-evening jazz programs Afterglow and Night Lights will celebrate with several special episodes. Afterglow host Mark Chilla features well-known Black performers such as Ray Charles (singing standards) and Billie Holiday (heard in big band settings), as well as two Louisiana composers, Spencer and Clarence Williams (no relation) who wrote a number of early jazz standards. Night Lights follows at 9 each Friday with shows such as “Portraits in Black: Jazz Tributes to AfricanAmerican Heroes” and “Black Composers in Hollywood: Duke Ellington and John Lewis, 1959,” the latter the first in an occasionally recurring series about Black jazz artists who scored movies in the 20th century. Finally, our Friday-afternoon/Saturdayevening program The Soul Kitchen is now being offered for syndication! It joins Afterglow and Night Lights, which are each heard on numerous stations around the United States. Congratulations to host Brother William Morris…we’ve made it to another February! Here's hoping for a lovely spring to follow.

A New Year Makeover for Your Estate Plan
This month on The Hoosier Way: Trails of Indiana Monday, February 28 at 8pm Also streaming on
The Hoosier Way: Trails of Indiana takes viewers on a tour of some of Indiana’s finest outdoor nature trails, hikes, rails-to-trails conversion projects, and urban trails systems, revealing the beauty and wonder of our natural habitats.
Eight little words: “Please remember WFIU in your will or trust.” Simple words that could make a huge difference to us. Every day, nonprofit organizations go to the stream of donations to ask for support. How can 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? “Please remember us in your will and trusts.”
Beneath leafy, swaying canopies shimmering footpaths pass through shade and sunlight. Smooth asphalt routes cross the scenic, Indiana countryside. Rugged, rocky tracks find their way through forested ravines. Linear paved lanes pass from industrial urban corridors to bustling business districts to quiet residential neighborhoods. Across the country and within the state, unused railroad corridors are being converted to public multi-use trails. Indiana towns and cities—small and large—are dedicating funds, space, and precious resources toward paved recreational routes for residents and guests to enjoy. Indiana’s extensive state parks and dedicated nature preserves offer some of the state’s finest outdoor nature trails for hiking and mountain biking, revealing the beauty and wonder of the Hoosier state’s unique natural habitats.
Help ensure the viability of WFIU. Suggested wording for including WFIU in your estate plan is below: “I give, devise, and bequeath to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit Indiana corporation with principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, the sum of $___ (or ___% of my estate) to be utilized for the benefit of WFIU Public Radio from Indiana University (or, state a specific purpose).” For more information, visit our website: wfiu.org/support.
From the expansive, rolling wilderness of Hoosier National Forest to the sandy paths and reed-filled marshes of Indiana Dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline, to the paved rail-line conversion of Indianapolis’ Monon Trail and a burgeoning list of rail-trails across the state, Indiana’s trail systems boast a rich array of terrain, flora, fauna, history, and culture. These scenic, winding trails embody the Midwestern experience—a wandering, laid-back mix of curious adventure-seeking and complacent contentment. In Indiana, trails aren’t simply a practical means for reaching a destination. Here, the journey is the destination. It’s the Hoosier way.

NPR Now Accepting Submissions for the Student Podcast Challenge NPR invites students from around the country to create a podcast on any topic and compete for a chance to have their work featured on NPR. Students from 5th grade through college are eligible to participate; however, the rules vary depending on the student’s grade. Students in grades 5-12 are invited to put together a podcast with their class or extracurricular group and have it submitted by a teacher. In the College Podcast Challenge, students of any age pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree can put together a podcast with friends, a club, or as an individual and submit it to NPR. Professor help or involvement is not required. For both grade divisions, the podcast should be between three and eight minutes long. NPR’s team of judges will review submissions and select a group of finalists. From there, one submission in each category of grades 5-12 and the college division will be designated as the grand prize winner and that individual or team will be featured on NPR’s Morning Edition or All Things Considered. The deadline for submissions in the College Podcast Challenge is February 28, 2022. The deadline for submissions in the Student Podcast Challenge for grades 5-12 is March 21, 2022.
