Q&A with Jenn White, New Host of 1A Jenn White starts as the new host of 1A on July 6. Learn more about her in this interview that she did with the 1A staff:
What do you love about public radio? My sister introduced me to public radio when I was 16. I remember it clearly. There was a show with two crazy guys talking about cars. That show was Car Talk. I thought the show was fascinating and hilarious. From there, my listening expanded, as did my desire to work in public radio. I’m specifically interested in the way news is delivered on public radio. Our work is important and fills a need. We are able to surround a story and add depth that informs our listeners. Our stories are filled with voices of real people from around the country, often from those marginalized. This enables public radio to dig under the rocks to uncover how policy impacts real people. To get my foot in the door, I took a position as a fundraiser at a station in Michigan. However, I always wanted to be on the other side of the mic, so when the host for All Things Considered in Michigan left, I threw my hat in the ring and haven’t looked back since. I truly appreciate the commitment public radio has to facts and well-sourced information. People deserve accurate information, and our democracy requires it. Why are you excited to host 1A? WAMU has assembled an incredible team of producers for 1A. I’m excited by their creativity, their willingness to take risks and their clear dedication to the show. I’m also excited about the move to a national platform and having conversations that connect people in different parts of the country to one another. How will you make sure the show presents a balanced point of view? Talk shows are collaborative projects. As the host, I am the funnel for a lot of information. While I will bring my perspective to the table, so will our team of producers and correspondents. They are made up of a great cross-section of minds and ideas. As a team, we must trust and challenge each other, and hold each other accountable to a high level of performance and discipline around facts. If it starts to feel too comfortable, we need to take a step back and reevaluate, so we don’t end up just talking to ourselves. Find the complete interview with Jenn White on the 1A website: the1a.org/story/20/05/07/getting-to-knowour-new-host-jenn-white 1A airs weekdays at 10 a.m. on WFIU2.

Jazz Notes
July 4/5 – Carol Giacomo Carol Giacomo has been a member of the New York Times editorial board for over a decade. Before that, she covered foreign policy issues for Reuters for more than two decades, traveling over one million miles to more than 100 countries with eight secretaries of state and various other senior U.S. officials. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is a frequent public speaker at academic institutions, think tanks, and on media programs, including MSNBC. She spoke with veteran foreign correspondent Elaine Monaghan.
July 11/12 – Fritz Breithaupt Fritz Breithaupt is Provost Professor at IU Bloomington, where he founded and directs the Experimental Humanities Laboratory. His work addresses issues of empathy, narrative thinking, and moral reasoning. His book, The Dark Sides of Empathy, proposes that even wellmeaning compassion can have many unintended consequences, like intensifying conflicts or exploiting others. He spoke with Aaron Cain.
July 18/19 – Ana Teresa Fernández Visual and performance artist Ana Teresa Fernández was born in Tampico, Mexico, and now lives and works in San Francisco. Her work explores the politics, human rights, and cultural intersections through oil paintings, installations, and videos. Through her work, Fernández illuminates the psychological and physical barriers that define gender, race, and class in Western society and the global south. Her latest solo exhibition, Of Bodies and Borders, was hosted by the Grunwald Gallery at IU Bloomington in 2019. She spoke with IU Assistant Professor of Photography, Elizabeth Claffey.
July 25/26 – Paul Shoulberg Paul Shoulberg is a writer and director whose directorial debut, The Good Catholic, won the Panavision Spirit Award for Independent Cinema at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and Best Screenplay at the 2017 Milan International Film Festival. His play REEL won the Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for best student comedy. Shoulberg is a 2007 graduate of the MFA playwriting program at Indiana University. He currently lives in Nashville, Indiana, with his wife, who teaches at Bloomington’s Harmony School. He spoke with Janae Cummings.
Esperanza Spalding
Although the lockdowns and quarantines of 2020 put a temporary end to live concerts in traditional spaces, artists around the world took up the challenge by broadcasting performances from their homes and studios. Newly-recorded music has continued to emerge as well, and you can hear it every Monday afternoon on Just You and Me from 3-5 p.m., when David Brent Johnson features recent releases. New music is often featured on Wednesdays and Thursdays as well, with the respective “Live and by Request” and “Jazz from Indiana” editions of the program. This month we’ll be hearing such releases from Fred Hersch and Esperanza Spalding, IU jazz faculty Dave Stryker with the WDR Big Band, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, and others. Our Friday-evening vocal-jazz program Afterglow offers up looks at Indiana songwriter Cole Porter’s late-period comeback, soul singer Aretha Franklin’s 1960s recordings, the career of Brazilian guitarist and singer Joao Gilberto, and a further exploration of the use of color in American popular song. Night Lights follows at 9 p.m. with programs this month about pianist Ahmad Jamal (whose spare lyricism and use of space influenced Miles Davis), saxophonist Hank Mobley, drummer Art Blakey, and pioneering electric guitarist Charlie Christian, as well as a show featuring live recordings from the legendary Lighthouse Café in Hermosa Beach, California. Finally, it’s not going to seem much like summer around here without Jazz in July, which like so many other events had to be canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to bring the series back next year. In the meantime, stay tuned for some possible autumn jazz performances. More info as plans develop!

This month on The Vote: American Experience Monday, July 6 and Tuesday, July 7 at 9pm
One hundred years after the passage of the 19th Amendment, The Vote: American Experience tells the dramatic culmination story of the hard-fought campaign waged by American women for the right to vote—a transformative cultural and political movement that resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S. history. In its final decade, from 1909 to 1920, movement leaders wrestled with contentious questions about the most effective methods for affecting social change. They debated the use of militant, even violent tactics, as well as hunger strikes and relentless public protests. The battle for the vote also upended previously accepted ideas about the proper role of women in American society and challenged the definitions of citizenship and democracy. Exploring how and why millions of 20th-century Americans mobilized for—and against—women’s suffrage, The Vote: American Experience brings to life the unsung leaders of the movement and the deep controversies over gender roles and race that divided Americans then—and continue to dominate political discourse today.

Receive an Income for Life and Save on Taxes The idea of a charitable gift annuity is nothing new, but its benefits will never grow old. In America, the concept dates back to 1843, when a Boston merchant donated money to the American Bible Society in exchange for a flow of payments. Today a charitable gift annuity can offer tax benefits. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction of helping continue the mission and good works of an organization such as WFIU. When you create a charitable gift annuity, your donation is divided into two parts: an amount attributable to the charitable gift portion and the amount attributable to your annuity payments. If you itemize deductions on your tax return, savings from the federal income tax charitable deduction of the gift portion reduce your gift’s net cost If you fund your annuity with appreciated property rather than cash, you benefit even more because you are not responsible for the capital gains tax at the time of your gift. Instead, a portion of your payments will be taxed as capital gain (provided that you are the primary annuitant and the annuity interest is assignable only to the charity). Based on life expectancy, older annuitants have higher annuity rates. Rates also vary according to the number of annuitants, with rates for two-life contracts often lower because of the extended period of time that payments will likely be made.

Bloomington Students Win NPR Student Podcast Challenge Honorable Mention Seventh grade students at The Project School in Bloomington received an NPR Student Podcast Challenge honorable mention for their podcast: The Life of a Multiple. Created by Maddy and Zoe Waters and Ruth and Stefan Bartlett, The Life of a Multiple centers on their experiences as multiples (twins and/or triplets). Starting in January 2020, NPR invited fifth through twelfth grade students around the country to create a podcast on subjects of their choosing in a competition for grand prizes and a chance to have their work be featured in segments on Morning Edition or All Things Considered. Student classes or extracurricular groups produced podcasts between three and twelve minutes long. A panel of expert judges decided the grand prize winners, finalists and honorable mentions based on the podcast’s information and structure, personality and creativity, and production quality. In The Life of a Multiple, Maddy and Zoe Waters and Ruth and Stefan Bartlett talk about their struggles, habits, and everyday lives, with stories of having to share a room, toys, and even a toothbrush. The four debunk myths and tall tales that they’ve encountered in their thirteen years of living as multiples. The Waters and Bartletts began working on the podcast, with the help of their teacher, Pamela Cunningham, as part of a unit for their middle school journalism class in January. The group learned the ins and outs of podcasting, from the elements of podcasts to how to develop a story. Using NPR resources, they researched the rules, came up with their topic of multiples, created scripts, rehearsed, recorded, and then edited the podcast. The group was nearly finished before The Project School’s Spring Break, which began March 14. Once online schooling began after this, the students finished final edits at home, with Cunningham submitting the podcast to NPR on their behalf. Out of 2,200 overall entries, The Life of a Multiple was one of 215 honorable mentions. Listen to The Life of a Multiple on our blog: wfiu.org/blog.
