Bob Zaltsberg Joins WFIU-WTIU News Team On April 1, veteran journalist Bob Zaltsberg joined the WFIU-WTIU News team on a part-time basis. Zaltsberg recently retired from the Herald-Times, where he worked for more than 40 years, including 33 years as the editor of the paper. In his new role at the WFIU-WTIU newsroom, Zaltsberg is leading a community-driven journalism project called City Limits: Bloomington. This series provides an opportunity for audiences to ask questions about Bloomington and its future, and then the WFIU-WTIU News team searches for answers. “With his impressive rolodex and deep knowledge of Bloomington I can’t think of a better person to lead this project than Bob,” said WFIU-WTIU News Bureau Chief Sara Wittmeyer.
Zaltsberg and Wittmeyer interview Lee Hamilton at Noon Edition’s 20th anniversary celebration at Hive. Zaltsberg will continue to host Noon Edition in his new role at WFIU/WTIU.

Saturdays at 5 p.m. on WFIU2 | Sundays at 6 p.m. on WFIU May 4/5 – Marie-Claire King Mary-Claire King is a geneticist and a professor at the University of Washington, where she studies the interaction of genetics and environmental influences on human conditions such as breast and ovarian cancer, inherited deafness, and schizophrenia. King is known for three major accomplishments: identifying breast cancer genes, demonstrating that humans and chimpanzees are 99% genetically identical, and applying genomic sequencing to identify victims of human rights abuses. She spoke with Aaron Cain. May 11/12 – Michael Burawoy Michael Burawoy is a sociologist and professor at the University of California-Berkeley who has been a participant-observer of industrial workplaces in four countries: Hungary, Russia, Unites States, and Zambia. In his different projects he has tried to illuminate capitalism, state socialism, colonialism, and post-colonialism from the standpoint of the working class. More recently, Burawoy has turned his focus to academia, using the same approach he employed in the steel mills of communist countries to better understand how research universities are functioning under contemporary capitalism. He spoke with Aaron Cain. May 18/19 – Rachel Plotnick Rachel Plotnick is an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies in the Media School at IU Bloomington. Her research and teaching focus on human-machine relations, as well as the history and culture of media technologies. In her new book, Power Button: A History of Pleasure, Panic and the Politics of Pushing, Plotnick traces the origins of today’s push-button society by examining how buttons have been made, distributed, used, rejected, and refashioned throughout history. She spoke with Aaron Cain. May 25/26 – Sujey Vega Sujey Vega is an Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies and affiliate faculty member in the School of Transborder Studies and Religious Studies at Arizona State University. Her research explores the everyday Latinx experiences in the US. Her book, Latino Heartland: Of Borders and Belonging in the Midwest, places Mexican Hoosiers and non-Mexican (mostly white) Hoosiers in dialogue as they both come to terms with living in the same communal space. She spoke with Sylvia Martinez of the IU Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies.

Jazz Notes It’s high spring in the WFIU jazz department, and we’ll be dispensing musical bouquets throughout the days of May! Our Friday-evening jazz lineup starts with plenty of excellent vocal jazz on Afterglow at 8 p.m. Host Mark Chilla offers profiles this month of Mel Tormé, focusing on the singer’s lesser-known reputation as a songwriter; Bing Crosby in duet form with Louis Armstrong, Rosemary Clooney, and others; vocalist Sarah Vaughan at her sassiest in the late 1950s; standards-bearer Harold Arlen; and songs about walking—perfect for the fair weather of springtime.
Sarah Vaughan
Night Lights follows at 9 with programs this month about the charismatic jazz modernist Lennie Tristano; jazz’s connection to TV themes; the late pianist and composer André Previn; and jazz in the turbulent year of 1968. On Friday, May 24, “Turn Out the Stars V. 5” will offer more jazz eulogies for musicians as a prelude to the Memorial Day weekend. Speaking of Memorial Day, on Monday, May 27, our weekday afternoon program Just You And Me will feature the first of three summer Airmen of Note specials, in which the longstanding military jazz orchestra is joined by guest artists such as pianist Kenny Barron, saxophonist Branford Marsalis, and singer Cyrille Aimee. Tune in throughout the month as well for new releases, classic jazz, live recordings, and past and present music from Indiana artists—and at the end of the week, get ready to join the party in The Soul Kitchen with Brother William Morris, Fridays from 3-5! Summertime will soon be heating up.

This month on WTIU television Monrovia, Indiana Friday, May 31 at 9pm Monrovia, Indiana is a film from Frederick Wiseman exploring a small town in the rural Midwest, illustrating how values like community service, duty, spiritual life, generosity, and authenticity are formed, experienced, and lived along with conflicting
stereotypes. The film gives a complex and nuanced view of daily life in Monrovia and provides some understanding of a way of life whose influence and force have not always been recognized or understood in the big cities on the east and west coasts of America and in other countries.
Giving Life Insurance to Charitable Causes
beneficiary, you may qualify for an income tax charitable deduction.
Life insurance can be a tool with many purposes. When your children were young, you may have purchased a policy to provide them with financial protection in case something should happen to you or your spouse. Perhaps your circumstances have now changed. Many donors own whole life insurance policies they no longer need for family security. If so, consider one of the most satisfying uses for life insurance you no longer need—donating it to a cause dear to your heart, such as WFIU.
