“Alexa, Play Morning Edition” NPR and Amazon recently debuted a new Alexa skill: Morning Edition is now available on-demand on all Alexa-enabled smart speakers. Just say, “Alexa, play Morning Edition,” and you will hear the last hour of that morning’s show as it was aired by WFIU. You will no longer need to worry about missing a story, or tuning in mid-broadcast, because now you can choose when to listen at your own convenience. The on-demand experience of Morning Edition, with its original national and local news segments, will be available on Alexa-enabled smart speakers each weekday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time. “We’re thrilled that NPR is bringing Morning Edition to their skill on Alexa and providing listeners with yet another way to hear its member stations,” said Steve Rabuchin, Vice President of Alexa. “This skill is a great example of how news consumption continues to evolve, with convenient, on-demand access to Morning Edition that is now available to any listener with an Alexa-enabled device.”
Since its debut on November 5, 1979, Morning Edition has been a forum for robust discussion, rigorous reporting and powerful storytelling. Nearly 40 years later, Morning Edition has grown into the most listened-to news radio program in the country, with over 14 million people tuning in each week; and through innovations and expansion onto new devices, NPR and its Member Stations are reaching more people on more platforms than ever before. “Together with our Member Stations, NPR has been dedicated to building relationships with Amazon Alexa and other voice services and amplifying the unique national-local experience that our audience knows and trusts,” said NPR Chief Digital Officer Thomas Hjelm. “In recent months, we have been working to deliver more NPR and public radio content directly to these new platforms, including local station streams on Alexa and Google Assistant and more. This new initiative brings our most listened-to news program, Morning Edition, to the voice-activated, on-demand world. It’s another example of how, together, NPR and stations will sustain our reach, relevance and mission in the future.” Tune in, and stay informed.

Jazz Notes Happy November! While the holiday music won’t start till December, WFIU hosts Mark Chilla, David Brent Johnson, and William Morris will be offering up plenty of musical fare to warm the spirit and stimulate the mind as we head towards Thanksgiving and the yuletide season. Check the Facebook page for our weekday afternoon program Just You And Me for updates about music features and special guests, such as Aaron Cohen, author of the new book Move On Up: Chicago Soul Music And Black Cultural Power. On November 22, our Friday-evening specialty shows Afterglow and Night Lights present a Hoagy Carmichael doubleheader, celebrating the birthday of the Bloomingtonborn composer of “Stardust” and so much more.

For the week of Thanksgiving (it’s late this year, folks—November 28!), Afterglow will present “The Songs of Hearth and Home,” with music about the comforts of home life from artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to Norah Jones and Sam Cooke. Night Lights delves this month into the post-Dave Brubeck years of saxophonist Paul Desmond, the post-John Coltrane years of pianist McCoy Tyner, and the music of the dynamically creative arranger Eddie Sauter. “Before Rock, There Was Jazz: The Transition Records Story” explores the 1950s jazz label helmed by producer Tom Wilson, who would go on to oversee the recordings of numerous 1960s folk and rock artists such as Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Frank Zappa, and the Velvet Underground.
