George Walker to Retire July 29 When George Walker first arrived at Indiana University in the fall of 1966, he was not planning to spend more than 50 years on the radio. The University of Michigan graduate originally came to IU for a master’s program in teaching English. But Walker’s intended career path changed after he heard about an opportunity at WFIU. “In the first year as a graduate student at IU, someone visited one of my classes to let us know that there were auditions for news announcers at WFIU. I tried out and wound up being hired, not as a news announcer, but as a part-time classical music announcer,” Walker said. Although he completed his graduate degree in teaching, the part-time position he took at WFIU while he was a student led to a long and successful career in radio. He will celebrate his 45th anniversary as a full-time employee of the station on July 25. Throughout his time at WFIU, Walker has witnessed how both the station and his job have evolved from their classical music beginnings. He was present for the creation and growth of the NPR network, which wasn’t in existence when he first began working at WFIU as a student. “For many years, I had the longest (by far) weekday airtime at any NPR station. In those years, the only network program during my 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. air time was Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas. No NPR news—I took it off the wire or it came from our news staff,” Walker recalled. His position expanded to covering the arts in south central Indiana, including reviewing hundreds of stage productions and concerts and interviewing performing artists. “I’ve been fortunate to interview so many creative and talented musicians, dancers, actors, directors, writers, and scholars— from Yo-Yo Ma to Buckminster Fuller, to Twyla Tharp, to Yefim Bronfman, the Canadian Brass, Maya Angelou, and Bill T. Jones. I take great pride in having known the remarkably warm and talented Dave Baker and Josef Gingold (who always called me ‘dear boy’) and knowing Menahem Pressler,” said Walker. Shortly after his 45th anniversary as a full-time employee of WFIU, Walker will retire on July 29. He wants listeners to know that he will miss being with them, but made the difficult decision to leave WFIU after recently being diagnosed with progressive frontotemporal dementia, which affects his ability to speak.

Station operations director John Bailey says, “In an industry that seemingly finds some people coming and going within 45 days, the milestone of 45 years is no small cause for celebration. I’ll never forget what a onetime manager at this station told me: ‘George Walker is the sun. In the morning, he’s always there.’ Now that we’re on the brink of sunset, we know we’ll miss his institutional memory, his stellar wit, and his sunny disposition.”

Rich & Easy Roasted Potato & Arugula Pasta 1 package of medium pasta (gemelli is preferred, but you may also use penne, bow ties, or fusilli) 1 large container of arugula, or 5-6 cups of trimmed and clean leaves, loosely packed 3 tablespoons of olive oil 4 red potatoes (or Yukon Gold) cut in half, then sliced into 1/4-inch slices 3-4 tablespoons of lightly toasted pine nuts 1/4 cup of grated parmesan Start the water for the pasta, and salt it generously. Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the potatoes with 1 T. of olive oil, then sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes or so, or until brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Turn them halfway into the cooking, for even browning. Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Once it is ready, drain it and return the pasta to the cooking pot. Immediately add the arugula, the remaining olive oil, and toss to coat and to evenly distribute. Add the roasted potatoes and toss again. Add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away, topped with pine nuts and grated parmesan. Add more olive oil, if desired.

Last year’s pandemic circumstances forced us to move our Jazz in July summer concert series to the autumn. The subsequent Swing in September was such a success that we’ve decided to keep it as a fall event! There are five Fridays in September this year, which means five free evening concerts featuring a wide array of area jazz talent. Watch this space and WFIU’s website, as well as our social media feeds, for forthcoming details about the 2022 shows. The July Fourth holiday remains in July, of course, and our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me will mark the occasion with music from Louis Armstrong (long thought to have been born on July 4, 1900—and though we now know his actual birth date to be August 4, 1901, it still seems appropriate to play Louis Armstrong on America’s birthday) as well as other special programming. Our Friday-evening jazz-vocal program Afterglow wraps up a centennial salute to singer Judy Garland this month and also pays 100th-anniversary tributes to singer Kay Starr and the songs of 1922. Night Lights offers its own centennial salute to arranger Ralph Burns, one of a number of young arrangers who emerged on the jazz scene in the aftermath of World War II, while other episodes focus on 1970s fusion-era vocalist Flora Purim, jazz on the Columbia label in the same years, and the Savoy label’s chronicling of the bebop revolution in the 1940s.

Support the Radio-Television News Programming Endowment
This month on Grantchester on Masterpiece – Season 7 Sundays at 9pm, beginning July 10
Season 7 of Grantchester picks up in the long, hot summer of 1959 with wedding season in full swing. Questions of what the future holds for our favorite vicar-detective-duo and their friends are complicated when murder returns to the idyllic English village of Grantchester. Secrets and lies, love and death, swing and jazz, and, above all, family and friendship await in six new episodes.
Established in 2013 by a motivated philanthropist and “news junkie,” the Radio-Television News Programming Endowment was created to secure the future of national and regional news journalism at WFIU and WTIU. This fund helps sustain news programs such as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and PBS NewsHour, programs that probe issues without hype or bias, on our airwaves. In addition to national news shows, the stations air a variety of regular regional news and public affairs programs, including Noon Edition on WFIU and Indiana Newsdesk on WTIU.
Episode One – Sunday, July 10 A dead body is found on a local estate. Will and Geordie find themselves investigating stories of lost love and familial inheritance in an attempt to uncover the killer. Episode Two – Sunday, July 17 Lester Carmichael, the owner of a cleaning goods brand, is found dead in curious circumstances. Will and Geordie’s investigation leads them to an address where they discover Lester’s private life is less spotless than the pristine image he and his wife like to present to the public. Episode Three – Sunday, July 24 A vagrant is found dead in the doorway of Leonard’s café. Geordie can’t shake the feeling that this murder could be connected to two previous unsolved cases – is there a killer out there targeting the homeless?
WFIU and WTIU are one of the few—and sometimes the only— sources of local news coverage for listeners and viewers in the south central Indiana region. Dollars raised from the endowment will help Radio-TV purchase, expand, and produce the news programming you can only hear and see on WFIU and WTIU, keeping our reporters and journalists free from commercials pressures—free to do their best work. Learn more about how you can contribute to the news endowment at wfiu.org/support.
Episode Four – Sunday, July 31 A member of Will’s own congregation is found murdered just before a church fundraising event. It quickly becomes clear that the victim was not quite the upstanding member of the community Will believed him to have been. Episode Five – Sunday, August 7 Will and Geordie investigate a murder and missing persons case at a senior citizen’s care home. It’s unclear if some of the victims may also be perpetrators of the crime. Episode Six – Sunday, August 14

Another homeless man is found dead and killed in the same manner as the previous victims. Geordie and Will realize that they may have sent the wrong man to prison, and the real killer may still be at large.
