Celebrate 50 Years of NPR in May This year marks the 50th anniversary of NPR’s first onair broadcast. All Things Considered, NPR’s flagship news radio program that covers the biggest stories of the day, thoughtful commentaries, and insightful features on arts, music, and entertainment, debuted as NPR’s first program on May 3, 1971. On that same day, more than 20,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C., to protest the Vietnam War. NPR journalists covered the day’s events, producing a 24-minute sound portrait of what was happening. WFIU was one of the original 90 charter members of NPR who aired this first broadcast of All Things Considered. “We had already been around for 20 years as an educational radio station,” says WFIU station operations director John Bailey, “but it was only with the advent of NPR that we truly began to fulfill the promise of public radio. It was a noble and rather quirky experiment, and there was no guarantee of success. But, thanks to a great many passionate people who have nurtured public radio with their support, here we are celebrating 50 years of NPR helping connect Indiana with the world.” For five decades, NPR and stations around the country have shared the responsibility and opportunity to execute its mission: “to serve the individual, to promote personal growth, to regard the individual differences with respect and joy, rather than derision and hate. NPR celebrates the human experience as infinitely varied, rather than vacuous and banal, and encourages a sense of active, constructive participation, rather than apathetic helplessness.” As NPR celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is asking listeners to share what stories from All Things Considered have resonated with them since that first broadcast in 1971. You can submit your favorite stories at npr.org/2021/03/23/980157893/50-years-of-npr. In addition to celebrating its history, NPR will also take the opportunity to reimagine what public radio can be for the audiences of tomorrow. NPR is committed to hear every voice as the organization looks forward to the next 50 years.

A galette is a rustic, free-form pie, where you skip the pie pan and simply fold your pie pastry around the fruit filling, leaving an open middle. I appreciate their simplicity and the way they maximize crunchy pie crust edges and avoid the dreaded soggy bottoms of juicy fruit pies.

Summer Berry Galette
Flaky Pie Crust
4-5 cups of berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, service berries or gooseberries. You can also use other sliced fruit such as rhubarb, peaches, cherries, apples or pears.
2¼ cups of all-purpose flour, plus some for dusting the work surface.
Yield: for an 8 to 10-inch, two-crust pie
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon corn starch (optional)
2 teaspoon sugar
Pie pastry (See Flaky Pie Crust recipe. If you make enough for a double-crust pie, you can make two galettes)
16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (2 sticks, cut into 16 pieces)
1 tablespoon milk or cream
About 6 tablespoons ice water, plus more as needed.
1 tablespoon sugar • Make the pie dough. Flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic and stick it in the fridge to chill for several hours (minimum 45 min). • Mix the berries with sugar, and corn starch. You can mash them up, slice them or keep them whole. • Preheat the oven to 450F. • Roll the chilled dough out into a rough circle. Transfer it to a baking sheet. • Pile the berries and sugar mixture in the middle, and fold the edges of the pastry over the circle of fruit, crimping it together, leaving at least half of it exposed. • Brush the pastry with milk or cream. Sprinkle sugar over the crust. • Bake in a pre-heated 450F oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375F and bake another 15 or 20 minutes or until the crust is a deep golden brown. • Allow to cool for 15 minutes or so before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Start by putting ½ cup of water in the freezer. Next, cut the two sticks of butter into tablespoon-sized pieces, and place in the freezer while you prepare the dry ingredients. • Combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl, or (preferably) the container of a food processor. • The easiest way to make pie dough involves a food processor. It's the best tool for cutting butter into flour. If you don't have one, get a pastry blender. It is a hand-held tool with a curved set of blades and a handle. • Pressing the blades into the butter and flour mixture, rocking and repeating will eventually get your butter incorporated into your flour. • If you do have a food processor, use it. Pulse the dry ingredients once or twice. Add the chilled butter, and pulse repeatedly until the butter and flour are blended and the mixture looks like cornmeal, with some pea-sized chunks of butter remaining, about 10-20 seconds. • Dump the mixture in a bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the ice water over it. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to carefully incorporate the water. Add 3 more tablespoons, and continue to blend. Too much mixing will over-develop the gluten. Gradually gather the mixture into a ball; if the mixture seems dry, add another ½ tablespoon ice water. When you can make the mixture into a ball with your hands, do so. It's okay if it is a bit crumbly. • Divide dough into two pieces, wrap in plastic wrap, flatten into a small disk, and freeze the dough for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes. You can also refrigerate the dough for a day or two, or freeze it for a month or so.

Giving Life Insurance to Charitable Causes
American Masters – Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir
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.
Monday, May 3 at 9pm
Discover the story of Amy Tan, the groundbreaking Asian American writer. Tan's hit debut novel, The Joy Luck Club, catapulted her to commercial and critical success, spending over 40 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. With the 1993 blockbuster film adaption that followed, as well as additional bestselling novels, librettos, short stories, and memoirs, Tan firmly established herself as one of the most prominent and respected literary voices working today. America Masters – Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir is an intimate portrait of the groundbreaking author that interweaves archival imagery, including home movies and personal photographs, animation, and original interviews to tell the inspiring story of Tan's life and career. Born to Chinese immigrant parents in Oakland, California, in 1952, it would be decades before Tan would come to fully understand how her mother's battle with suicidal tendencies was rooted in a legacy of suffering common to women who survived the ancient Chinese tradition of concubinage. However, this legacy provides Tan an inexhaustible well of creative inspiration and her work has made her a global icon for Asian Americans. The last completed film from director James Redford, Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir features new interviews with Tan; fellow writers Kevin Kwan, Isabel Allende, Dave Barry, and Ronald Bass; actors from The Joy Luck Club; and friends and family. Tan opens up to Redford with remarkable frankness about traumas she's faced in her life and how her writing has helped her heal. The film traces her meteoric rise and offers an inside look at a brave artist whose humanity infuses all of her work.

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. When you choose to name a charitable organization as the policy owner and beneficiary, you may qualify for an income tax charitable deduction. To complete your future gift, contact your insurance company and request their beneficiary designation form. It is entirely separate from your will and does not require a lawyer. Not only is it an easy way to give, but its flexible—you can review and adjust beneficiary designations and percentages anytime. That being said, it is always wise to consult a trusted advisor. For more information on making a beneficiary designation gift, contact the IU Foundation Office of Gift Planning at (800) 558-8311 with any questions about gift opportunities at WFIU. For more information on how to support WFIU into the future, go to wfiu.org/support/gifts-of-retirement-planassets.php and look at the many options.
