Submissions are open from January 1 through March 31. Students can work with a class or extracurricular group to make their podcasts. Each podcast should be between three and 12 minutes long.
NPR’s panel of expert judges will be listening for creative work that stands out. Judges include NPR’s Jasmine Garsd Garcia, Sarah Gonzalez, Lee Hale, Linda Lutton, Rebecca Martin, Shereen Marisol Meraji, Doug Mitchell, Cory Turner, Sam Sanders, and Ki Sung.

This month on WTIU television Sanditon on Masterpiece Sunday, January 12 at 9pm When Jane Austen was chronically ill with a mysterious disease in early 1817, she turned her thoughts to a happier subject. She started work on a witty and delightful novel set in a seaside town. She never finished it. Now, noted screenwriter Andrew Davies finishes the story and brings it to the television.
Masterpiece’s bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen’s final work stars Rose Williams as Austen’s lively but levelheaded heroine, Charlotte Heywood; Theo James as the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker; Anne Reid as the forthright grande dame of Sanditon, Lady Denham; Kris Marshall as Sanditon’s compulsively enterprising promoter, Tom Parker; and Crystal Clarke as the mysterious West Indian heiress, Miss Lambe.
invites their eldest daughter, Charlotte (Williams), for an extended stay at Sanditon. Meanwhile, Lady Denham, a widow, is playing matchmaker for her destitute nephew, Sir Edward (Fox), who is determined to seduce Lady Denham’s ward, Clara (Sacofsky). The arrival of wealthy, mixed-race heiress Miss Lambe (Clarke), under the protection of Tom’s upright brother Sidney (James), adds an interesting complication.
Sanditon tells the story of Tom Parker (Marshall), who is obsessed with turning the sleepy seaside village of Sanditon into a fashionable health resort. He enlists the backing of local bigwig Lady Denham (Reid). Through a mishap, Tom makes the acquaintance of the Heywoods and

A New Year Makeover for Your Estate Plan Along with your New Year’s resolution to exercise more, take a few moments to reflect on your current will or estate plan. A good estate plan is like a mirror: it should reflect your values and relationships in their highest, best and most current form.
Sample wording to leave a bequest to WFIU - “I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit corporation with principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, [the sum of /a percentage of/the remainder of] my estate to be used for the benefit and unrestricted support [or specific purpose, i.e., news broadcasting, or support of a specific fund or program genre] of WFIU Public Radio from Indiana University, Bloomington campus.”
But change is a constant. Millions of Americans experience dramatic changes in their financial assets, living arrangements and other life circumstances. Are you one of them? Simple changes in your life can have a significant impact on your estate plan. Have you moved? Bought or sold property? Has someone in your life passed away? Have you remarried? Do you have new grandchildren? Has your health changed?
Thank You to Our Giving Tuesday Fund Drive Volunteers
If so, how will those changes affect your legacy? Can you still recognize your best self—and the legacy you want to leave—in your current estate plan? A sound plan will provide peace of mind and clarity of intent.
We want to take a moment to thank the volunteers who so generously gave their time and the food donors who kept us fueled during our Giving Tuesday fund drive. We couldn’t have done any of it without you. Thank you!
As you create or review your estate plan, remember to consider creating a personal legacy through a charitable gift. Naming a WFIU, or other charitable organizations, in your will is an ideal way to make a statement of your support for the fine work that is done by public broadcasting in our community every day.
