Inner States is hosted by writer and cultural studies scholar Alex Chambers. Alex is the co-creator of How to Survive the Future, a podcast about today from the perspective of tomorrow. He produced the Hoosier Young Farmer Podcast and is a former associate producer on WFIU’s Earth Eats with Kayte Young. If you have a story or a sound you think we should hear, contact us through the form on our website, wfiu.org/innerstates. We want to hear from you! FORTHCOMING EPISODES: Dreams of Regional Theater When you dream of being an actor, you don’t usually imagine making a life doing regional theater in a set of relatively small Midwestern cities. That’s what Diane Kondrat ended up doing. It’s been worth it. Loving Movies Beyond All Reason The work of women in film has been overlooked since the beginning of movies. Alicia Kozma, incoming director of the IU Cinema, is working to change that.

Objectivity, Chicago’s Racial Politics, and Ink in Your Blood Journalism has tried to defend itself against its detractors by saying it’s “objective.” Veteran journalism Monroe Anderson says being facts are essential, but objectivity is not the point. Who, and How, to Remember A walk among memorials and public art pieces last fall. We talk with creators, participants, and passers-by about the meaning of public art, about Native presence in a state named for Indians, about immigration, Christopher Columbus, Columbus, Indiana, who we choose to remember, and how.

It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s decadent. But it is also packed with kale and butternut goodness. Think of it as “sophisticated mac n’ cheese.” This kale and butternut pasta bake is wintertime comfort food at its finest. This dish is inspired by one I found on New York Times Cooking by Sarah Jampel.
EarthEats.org
Cheesy Butternut Kale Pasta Bake 1 pound pasta, medium-sized shape
1 cup mozzarella
1 bunch kale (about 1 pound), stems removed, chopped or torn or chiffonade
1 1/2 cups pureed butternut squash
1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh sage 1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
2 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 cup grated Gruyère
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• First roast the squash and garlic. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the butternut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut side with a bit of olive oil, and place on a baking or roasting pan. Place a clove of garlic (unpeeled) in each of the hollowed-out part. Bake for 30 or 40 minutes or until the squash is squishy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Peel the garlic and set aside. Scoop out the squash, mash it with a fork or potato masher, and measure out 1 1/2 cups. • Bring oven up to 450 and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. • Cook the pasta in generously salted boiling water for 4-5 minutes, adding the kale for the last minute. Drain the pasta and kale, rinse under cold water. • Combine pasta, kale, and the chopped herbs in a large bowl. Blend together pureed butternut, salt, pepper, and roasted garlic into a smooth mixture. Slowly whisk in the cream and vegetable broth until mixture is smooth. Add the sauce to the bowl with the pasta, then the grated cheese (all but 1/2 cup) and stir together. Pour the pasta mixture into the baking dish. • Drop spoonfuls of the ricotta across the pasta and top with the remaining grated cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until brown and bubbly. After the dish cools for 5 minutes, garnish with additional chopped herbs and serve.

Stephen Sondheim
Presents have been unwrapped and assimilated, new calendars have gone up in place of the 2021 ones, and our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me is gearing up for another year of presenting new releases, classic jazz, Indiana artists, and live performances. On Monday, January 17, David Brent Johnson will also pay tribute to civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. on his annual holiday with jazz recordings from modern and historical jazz artists ranging from Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams to Veronica Swift and Christian McBride. You can hear a tribute to an artistic figure of note on Friday, January 7, when Afterglow host Mark Chilla salutes the recently-departed songwriter Stephen Sondheim. Sondheim, who passed away at 91 in November, was a modern giant of American popular song and musicals. Other Afterglow programs this month explore iconic saxophonist Charlie Parker’s recordings with singers, the personal and musical relationship between Frank Sinatra and songwriter Jimmy van Heusen, and a preview of the 2022 Grammy Awards in the jazz vocal and traditional pop categories. Our historical jazz program Night Lights, which follows Afterglow on Friday evenings, offers shows this month about Buddy Rich (including excerpts from longtime WFIU jazz host Dick Bishop’s 1969 interview with the drummer), jazz recordings from the tumultuous year of 1963, and music from trumpeter Miles Davis’ final years, when he left his longtime label Columbia and moved to Warner Brothers. Happy New Year from all of us here at WFIU!

A New Year Makeover for Your Estate Plan
This month on All Creatures Great and Small on Masterpiece – Season 2 Sundays at 9pm, beginning January 9
All Creatures Great and Small returns for a second season of heartwarming and humorous stories based on James Herriot’s beloved bestselling novels about a young vet and his surrogate family in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales of the 1930s. The climax of season one saw Helen call off her impending wedding to wealthy landowner Hugh, having developed a close friendship with James over the course of the first season. After working hard to become accepted by the local farmers and prove himself indispensable, Siegfried made James a senior vet in the Skeldale House veterinary practice. Following years of half-hearted effort, Tristan believed he had finally passed his veterinary exams. Siegfried, however, learned that Tristan failed once again, but didn’t have the heart to tell him. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hall was heartbroken when she was unable to reconnect with her estranged son. As season two opens, James returns from Glasgow where he has been visiting his parents for Easter. While there he is offered a job at a modern local veterinary practice and must decide between staying home in Glasgow with his elderly parents or returning to his new life in Yorkshire.

This New Year, 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. 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? 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. As you create or review your estate plan, remember to consider creating a personal legacy through a charitable gift. Naming WFIU 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. Visit wfiu.org/support for more information about giving opportunities at WFIU.

Q&A with Inner States Host and Producer Alex Chambers Inner States, a new weekly arts and culture series, premieres Sunday, January 9 at 12 p.m. on WFIU. Get to know Inner States host and producer Alex Chambers in this interview: How did you come up with the idea for Inner States? When I was hired, I was tasked with reimagining the slot that Profiles filled on our weekend lineup. My goal was to do Profiles, but more so—which is to say, to continue in-depth interviews with notable writers, artists, and other thinkers, but to bring in more voices from our community and more sound-rich features. I’m also looking for more narrative pieces, because who doesn’t love a good story? It’ll be an arts and culture anthology show, focused on the Midwest. What do you find interesting or unique about Midwestern arts and culture? Coastal cultural and intellectual production often assumes that it’s speaking for everyone. Here in the Midwest, we are, by necessity, more focused on the particularities of local and regional experiences. But we’re just as connected to global currents as anywhere else. Exploring arts and culture in the Midwest is exciting because it gives us a chance to dig into the links between the local, regional, and global. Where did the inspiration for the title of the series come from? Of course, the surface-level meaning is that we’re focused on Indiana and the Midwest rather than the coasts. There’s also the sense that we’re traveling along highways to see who we meet. The other thing is, as much as I love big ideas, I’m equally interested in how it feels to be a person navigating the world, so it’s about our own, personal, inner states too. What are some of your favorite Inner States episodes you’ve worked on so far and why? I’ve loved all the one-on-one interviews I’ve done so far. I had a great conversation with Alicia Kozma, the incoming director of the IU Cinema, where we talked about everything from gender and labor politics to the pleasures of audience reaction videos on YouTube. I’m also wrapping up a more involved episode about memorials, public art, and whose stories get to be memorialized. That’s a narrated episode where I have lots of shorter conversations and reflect on bigger ideas. It was a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. What story ideas would you like to explore for future Inner States’ episodes? I’m excited to talk with people beyond “the arts” around IU and Bloomington. Got a connection to Mike’s Dance Barn in Nashville? Got an especially talented hairdresser? Let me know! I’d love to do an episode on drag—both the shows and the races. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? Does teaching audio storytelling count as “outside of work”? I bake a lot bread. (Before either of us worked in radio, I used to teach a bread-baking class with Earth Eats host Kayte Young.) There are always more books to read. And I’m a runner—I’ve been a dedicated aspiring half-marathoner for years.
