A Note from the General Manager After 16 years as general manager, I will be retiring this fall. I’m proud of the WFIU staff and hope that you will continue your support and affection. Many thanks to the folks here who bring you local public radio and to you for making this such a fun and rewarding profession. I believe public radio is critical if we are to receive the news and information needed to make the American democracy work.

WFIU offers more local programming and news today than ever before. And we believe that the station will continue to serve you at a high level. Technology is making it easier for listeners to bypass stations and go directly to program producers to hear the content they like. The stations that survive in this environment will have to do much more than pass along NPR and BBC programming; they will have to add extensive local content that matters.

Here, we have made a series of strategic investments in quality, locally-produced news and content. That means that WFIU now has the largest public broadcasting newsroom in the state. WFIU and WTIU were the lead stations in a 12-station partnership establishing statewide news, offering beat reporting in business, government, health, environment, and education; workforce development has just been added.

We hope that you are among the 1 million pageviews these reporters are getting each year.

The station has continued its very popular jazz offerings on Just You & Me, Afterglow, and Night Lights, hosted classical music, and specialty programs such as Earth Eats, The Soul Kitchen, Profiles, and Ether Game.

The programs are expensive but are necessary to keep WFIU relevant. We believe the station will continue to thrive by meeting needs in the marketplace. Your investments over the years have made this possible. We work to be good stewards of that contribution, spending the funds in ways that bring information, music and local flavor to our schedule.

As I transition from one side of the microphone to the other, I will continue to be a contributing member of WFIU. And I thank you for your support.

Perry Metz General Manager

Jazz Notes

Saturdays at 5 p.m. on WFIU2 | Sundays at 6 p.m. on WFIU September 7/8 – Peter Rubin Bloomington native Peter Rubin oversees WIRED Magazine’s cultural coverage and is editorial lead on digital platforms. He also writes frequently about virtual reality, including a book about VR and human connection, Future Presence: How Virtual Reality is Changing Human Connection, Intimacy, and the Limits of Ordinary Life. He spoke with Janae Cummings.

September 14/15 – Dominick DiOrio Composer and conductor Dominick DiOrio has won widespread acclaim for his contributions to vocal and instrumental music. In 2014, DiOrio won the American Prize in Composition, and his works have been performed at major venues around the world. As a conductor, he made his Carnegie Hall debut when he was 28 years old.

He spoke with Aaron Cain.

September 21/22 – John Wukovits Military expert John Wukovits is the author of many books, including Eisenhower: A Biography; Pacific Alamo: The Battle for Wake Island; and One Square Mile of Hell: The Battle for Tarawa. Wukovits is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, and his latest book, Soldiers of a Different Cloth, recounts the experiences of 35 Notre Dame chaplains and missionaries who braved World War II battlefields to bring comfort, faith and friendship to the soldiers they served. He spoke with Aaron Cain.

September 28/29 – Best of Profiles: Fall 2019 For our fall fund drive, we bring you a special IU Bicentennial edition of Profiles.

Guests include former IU Vice President Terry Clapacs; conductor and alumnus Patrick Summers; and Professors David Weaver, Cleve Wilhoit, and Donald Gjerdingen.

WFIU’s 2019 autumn fund drive coincides this year with Indiana University’s celebration of its bicentennial. From Tuesday, September 24 through Monday, September 30, we’ll be still be playing the music you normally tune in to hear, but there’ll be a special Indiana spin on things with our fund drive thank-you gift.

Wes’s Best: The Best of Wes Montgomery on Resonance, features live and studio recordings of the legendary Indiana guitarist that have come to light only in recent years. And that’s not all; on Friday, September 27 Afterglow will celebrate Indiana artists and songwriters such as Hoagy Carmichael and Cole Porter, while Night Lights delves into the compositions of the late, great IU jazz educator David Baker. A happy 200th birthday to Indiana University, and we hope you’ll join in the spirit of the celebration by pledging or renewing your WFIU membership!

In addition to autumn fund drive, WFIU will offer up its usual potpourri of standard jazz programming throughout the month. Our Friday-evening vocaljazz program Afterglow spotlights blacklisted songwriters, the early years of songwriter and pop star Stevie Wonder, and different songs with the same title.

Night Lights explores the 20th-century jazz legacy of San Francisco, the early-1960s partnership of pianist Horace Parlan and saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, and the famed New York City jazz club the Five Spot, where musicians such as Thelonious Monk played for audiences of painters, writers, and fellow musicians. Author Dan Wakefield and musician David Amram, who both frequented the Five Spot, will provide commentary on their former haunt.

Farewell to Perry Metz After 16 years as general manager of WFIU, Perry Metz retires at the end of this month. Under his leadership, our station has thrived through an expansion of local programming, membership, and endowments.

“I believe that thoughtful and consistent journalism is the backbone of the American democracy,” Metz said. “With reliable information, citizens are best equipped to decide the future of their cities, states, and nation.”

“WFIU is staffed by people who love the communities we serve and bring quality local content to the schedule,” Metz said. “I’m so proud of what they have accomplished in news, music, science, and sustainable living.”

In addition to increasing local and regional news coverage, Metz’s other achievements during his tenure include expanding the WFIU budget; adding more hours of local production; seeing membership income top $1 million annually; and creating endowments for news, student internships, and classical and jazz music.

As general manager, Metz created one of the first converged newsrooms in public media, bringing together the radio and TV news departments and developing a deep online presence. That began a growing investment in local and regional news which continues today. Now the largest public newsroom in Indiana, the WFIU-WTIU News Team has won national Murrow and PRNDI awards as well as numerous state recognitions, including 40 awards in 2019 alone.

As he heads into retirement, Metz leaves behind a legacy of quality news and local programming, plus a solid financial base, which we will continue to build on in the future. And the future looks bright for Metz as well.

“My friends know that I love to travel and I plan to do some writing as well,” Metz said of his retirement plans. “But the stations haven’t seen the last of me. I’ll continue to volunteer, too.”

9:00 PM HARMONIA Febus avant!

Once upon a time, in 14th century France, there was a nobleman who was able to bring people from opposite sides of, say, a papal schism, together for a meal and some entertainment. His name was Gaston, and he also had very sophisticated tastes in music.

Support Our Fall Fund Drive We come from all sorts of backgrounds, belief systems, ethnicities—no doubt about it, this world is diverse. And, in this part of the world these days, it certainly can feel as if our social and political climate is divisive.

With other sources of support in peril, yours is as important as ever. Have you renewed your membership this year? Perhaps in the spring you took part in the 1950 Sustainer Challenge, our campaign to sign up 1,950 ongoing monthly donors in honor of our founding year. If you’re a sustainer, then would you consider giving a bit extra this fall? Have you not contributed in a couple of years, or perhaps ever? Our on-air membership campaign, running from September 24 to 30, is a perfect time to step up.

Our website, WFIU.org, makes it easy for you to give.

However, in the broad community that is public radio, a number of things unite us. We crave journalism that is informative, researched, fact-based, and dependable, and that makes our democracy stronger. And, when we need a break from the news, we long for music that is by turns stimulating and soothing. As we listen, we seek to engage, to understand, and to never stop learning.

Public radio is a voice of civility, and one of our lifelines to civilization. This station is where the story starts. We’re here to connect Indiana to the world, and thousands of listeners to WFIU and WFIU2, from Kokomo to French Lick, from Terre Haute to Seymour, have responded in kind by choosing to become listenermembers.

I’m proud to be a sustaining member of WFIU. Let’s stay tuned in together, knowing we helped make another year of essential radio possible.

John Bailey

WFIU Station Operations Director
