Weekend Lineup Changes Offer You New Voices This month finds a couple of longtime programs ending production. We must bid a fond farewell to Says You!—the “game of bluff and bluster, words and whimsy” that has long occupied WFIU’s Saturday noon hour—and to NPR’s pub trivia program, Ask Me Another, which has been part of our Saturday lineup on WFIU2 for eight years. At the same time, we’re also proud to introduce one new program each on WFIU and WFIU2, and pleased to offer you a fresh array of some of the other shows we offer each weekend on both channels. One of our most popular programs, Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!, is moving up an hour to 10 a.m. on Saturdays. Then, at 11, you’ll find a program new to the WFIU main channel, but familiar to WFIU2 listeners: It’s Been a Minute with Sam Sanders. Sam has recently interviewed actress Maya Rudolph, Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness, and Prince’s longtime photographer, Randee St. Nicholas. Finally, On the Media, a weekly investigation into how the media shape how we see the world, moves from Sundays to the Saturday noon slot formerly occupied by Says You!. We’ll hope you’ll enjoy these three programs together—we feel they offer a variety of compelling perspectives on the week just past. Saturdays on WFIU2 now find Snap Judgment and Latino USA moving earlier in the day, to 2 and 3 p.m., respectively, and a new program, To the Best of Our Knowledge, joining the lineup from 6 to 8 p.m. TTBOOK is a Peabody award-winning program from Wisconsin Public Radio that invites us to dive headlong into the TTBOOK Staff deeper end of ideas. Recent episodes have taken close looks at why humans spend so much time feeling guilty, how we can find more meaning in our jobs, and the idea of plants as sentient beings. Our lineup on Sunday now offers you a fresh mix of in-depth storytelling and big ideas from the worlds of science, travel, and culture. You might see it as a weekly chance to get caught up on some of public radio’s most popular podcasts all at once: This American Life, Radiolab, and the TED Radio Hour remain in the block you’re accustomed to, between 10 and 1, followed by Earth Eats, WFIU’s weekly survey of the world of local food and sustainable living. Hidden Brain and The Moth now appear on Sundays at 2 and 4 p.m., respectively, bracketing Travel with Rick Steves. Then, on Sunday evenings we’ll shine a brighter light on women in classical music: Feminine Fusion moves up to 8 p.m., with the encore broadcast of Sylvia & Friends following at the new time of 9. While a number of programs now occupy new time slots, only the two programs ending production are leaving our schedule. Please refer to the centerspread on pages 3 and 4 for the current placement of all the shows across our two channels. This is the kind of content you won’t find anywhere else on your dial. We hope you value it. You are always welcome to let us know how well it complements your weekends.

Happy autumn, WFIU listeners! Among the new jazz releases you’ll be hearing this month are what’s being heralded as singer Tony Bennett’s final recording, Love for Sale, another collaboration with Lady Gaga and a tribute to Indiana songwriter Cole Porter. There’s also much excitement about a newlydiscovered 1965 live performance by John Coltrane of his masterpiece A Love Supreme. And Just You & Me host David Brent Johnson will welcome music scholar Kyle Barnett on Thursday, October 21 to discuss his recent book Record Cultures, which explores the early history of the phonograph record industry. They’ll talk in particular about the legendary Indiana Gennett label, where Hoagy Carmichael, Bix Beiderbecke, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong all made their first recordings. With National Hispanic Heritage Month underway, our Friday-evening vocaljazz program Afterglow explores “Latin Jazz in American Song” on October 8, delving into the influence of Latin music on 1950s American jazz and pop singers such as Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee. Afterglow also shines a spotlight this month on the songs of Alan Jay Lerner and the early 1960s recordings and artists of Frank Sinatra’s Reprise label. And tune in on October 29 for a timetravel trip back to the songs of 1921 and their subsequent significance in American popular culture. Speaking of Friday, October 29, it’s the start of a Halloween weekend, and our Friday-evening classic-jazz program Night Lights will set the mood with “Strange Enchantment,” a show devoted to haunting and otherworldly music from the likes of Duke Ellington, Kay Starr, Philly Joe Jones, and others. Night Lights also takes a look this month at the 1950s jazz revival of music from the folk opera Porgy and Bess, and salutes trumpeter and jazz icon Wynton Marsalis’s 60th birthday with a show chronicling his early rise to stardom.

Born into poverty on a Puerto Rican farm, Moreno and her seamstress mother immigrated to New York City when Moreno was five years old. After studying dance and performing on Broadway, Moreno was cast as any ethnic minority the Hollywood studios needed filled: Polynesian, Native American, Egyptian, and more. Despite becoming the first Latina actress to win an Academy Award for her role as Anita in West Side Story, the studios continued to offer Moreno lesser roles as stereotypical ethnic minorities, ignoring her proven talent. The documentary demonstrates Moreno’s talent and resilience as she broke barriers, paved the way for new generations of artists by refusing to be pigeonholed, and fought for Latinx representation in a variety of genres.

Celebrating 30 Years of Harmonia Decades ago, as a young rock musician, I encountered early music both indirectly, through Anglo-Celtic folk-rock bands, and directly, through participating in college early music ensembles, listening to recordings, and hearing it on the radio. In 1991, when I was a graduate student at Indiana University’s Early Music Institute (now Historical Performance Institute), one of my part-time jobs was working at WFIU as a board announcer. I’d been working there for a couple of years when then program director Christina Kuzmych asked me if I was interested in developing a weekly, one-hour program about early music, with the potential of eventually seeking syndication. I was very excited to do it, but worried about the fact that I had just embarked on a doctoral degree and producing and hosting a radio program sounded like a full-time job. I brought my dilemma to my teacher and mentor, the groundbreaking medieval music performer, scholar, and founder of the Early Music Institute, Thomas Binkley. He told me, “You should definitely do it. You never know where it might lead.” How right he was. For the next 14 years, I was the sole writer and producer of Harmonia. I picked the topics, chose the music, wrote the scripts, edited the interviews, answered listener e-mail, and to some degree took part in the publicity and marketing process—all while finishing the coursework for a doctorate, recording and touring with the medieval ensemble Altramar, and then joining the music faculty at Texas Tech University. (I’d be remiss to not mention that Harmonia’s first sound engineer was the wonderful Patsy Smith, a.k.a. Pat Hawkins, who taught me to edit and splice tape.) I’m often asked about the name of the show. For the ancient Greeks and medieval and Renaissance musicians, harmonia was the “music of the spheres,” the harmonious interaction between all the heavenly bodies. That word seemed to resonate with the idea of the music of the past being broadcast over radio waves and out into space. When I became a full-time professor at Texas Tech University, WFIU generously expanded the operation into a production and writing team, including Michael Paskash who has engineered and edited show since 1996 and our current producer, LuAnn Johnson, who has worked on the show in one capacity or another since 2001, making it possible for me to continue with the show for another 16 years and counting. This month, Harmonia celebrates its 30th anniversary! We’re syndicated on stations all over the US, have a thriving web presence at harmoniaearlymusic.org and on Facebook, and produce an off-shoot podcast called Harmonia Uncut, which is curated and hosted by my dear colleague Wendy Gillespie. All of this is due to our public radio supporters, WFIU, and the infrastructure of Indiana University. I get a great deal of joy from being able to introduce radio listeners to music that has a link to the ancient past but is new and fresh. With your ongoing support, we hope to continue bringing this music, performed in historically informed ways, to public radio for many years to come. Sincerely,
Angela Mariani
