THIS MONTH’S HIGHLIGHTS Johnny Cash: A Night to Remember Saturday, December 5 at 9:30pm On May 5, 1973, Johnny Cash performed a stunning set at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, featuring a guest appearance by his wife, June Carter Cash. Among the classics Johnny performed that night were “Big River,” “Jackson,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “A Boy Named Sue” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down.” This recently unearthed footage from the Sony vault captures Johnny at his best, from his signature ballads to hard rocking numbers, backed by his world class band.
What’s So Funny: A Judy O’Bannon Comedy Special Thursday, December 10 at 9pm What is humor? Where does it come from? What purpose does it serve? What makes us laugh? Judy O’Bannon’s search for answers to these questions sends her all across the Hoosier state. As she travels the length and breadth of Indiana, O’Bannon keeps bumping into reminders that our state has a long, proud, continuing tradition of people whose humor has kept not just Indiana, but our whole country laughing.
Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir Featuring Kelli O’Hara and Richard Thomas Monday, December 14 at 9pm Set against a backdrop of a country farmhouse and church, this visual and musical spectacle is distinctly different from those of years past and serves as a soulful tribute to the holiday traditions, songs, stories, and individuals that have contributed to the rich cultural fabric that is uniquely American.

Save the Date – Giving Tuesday is Coming Join WTIU on December 1 for a global day dedicated to giving to organizations that make an impact on our lives and the lives of those we care about. And, this Giving Tuesday is especially important to WTIU because of the potential it holds—for the communities we serve, and for you. WTIU is your PBS station. We harness the power of honest reporting and compelling storytelling to connect communities, and to improve the lives of your friends, family, and neighbors throughout the Hoosier state. In this challenging year, our public service mission has taken on new relevance. The trusted journalism we provide seems more critical. The music, drama, and engrossing journeys of discovery we deliver have become more of a comfort. And we’re adding new services too, to better serve rural areas without reliable access to broadband internet, and by highlighting content that compensates for educational gaps in at-home learning. You can rely on WTIU to deliver programs and services that respond to the ever-changing needs of this moment. However, we couldn’t do any of this without your investment in us. WTIU members and supporters power our ability to inspire, engage, educate, and entertain our entire audience, including those who can’t afford to give. If you are able, we hope you will join this effort as we celebrate Giving Tuesday. Thank you!

Make a Year-End Gift and Save on Your Taxes! Support the programs you rely on and save on your taxes at the same time. The CARES Act, which was passed this spring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, allows individual taxpayers who take the standard deduction to deduct charitable donations of up to $300 on their 2020 federal tax return, even if they don’t itemize. And, for those who do itemize their deductions, the new law allows for cash contributions to qualified charities, including WTIU, to be deducted up to 100% (up from 60%) of your adjusted gross income for the 2020 calendar year. These tax benefits, however, will expire on December 31, 2020. In addition, because WTIU is licensed to Indiana University, your support of WTIU qualifies under the Indiana College Tax Credit program. It’s better than a deduction—it’s a credit that reduces the tax you owe. Take advantage of this tax benefit by filling out Form CC-40 (downloadable from IN.gov/dor) and include it with your tax return filing. It’s money back in your pocket! Learn more about making a tax-advantaged gift to WTIU at wtiu.org/support. Please consult your tax advisor for advice on how the CARES Act may impact your charitable giving. Every donor’s tax situation is unique.

Craft in America
Friday, December 11 at 9pm and 10pm Craft in America, the Peabody Award-winning documentary series discovering the beauty, significance, and relevance of handmade objects and the artists who make them, returns with the episodes “Storytellers” and “Democracy.” For more than a decade, Craft in America has taken viewers on cultural journeys across this nation, honoring the multiplicity of craft artists and exploring the dynamic evolution of contemporary craft.
“ Democracy” explores how craft is intertwined with our nation’s defining principles. The episode begins with Robert L. Lynch, President of Americans for the Arts, who speaks to the presence of craft in US history and the role of government in the arts. He also guides viewers through several of the significant Washington, DC monuments and memorials, highlighting their aesthetic and emotional resonance.
“Storytellers” highlights artists who use narrative to communicate personal and universal truths, creating a uniquely powerful expression of our human experience. Beginning in Alaska, viewers meet one of the nation’s most important multidisciplinary artists, Nicholas Galanin. Descended from a family of Native Alaskan Tlingit and Unangan artists, he challenges the displacement of indigenous art and cultural disruption, offering perspective rooted in connection to land while investigating and expanding intersections of culture and concept in form, image, and sound.
Viewers also learn about two distinct examples of democratic approaches to creativity: first, the 1972 exhibition Islands in the Land celebrating handcrafted objects from Appalachia and the Rio Grande Valley, organized by visionary curator Eudorah Moore; and second, the workstudy program at Berea College, where traditional Appalachian craft is kept alive through historic innovative programs that foster a diverse and integrated student body.
