Chanukah:
A Time for Schtick
The DNA Files III
Sundays at 4 p.m.
Sunday, December 2, 8 p.m.
NPR’s The DNA Files makes genetic science
accessible and compelling. You’ll hear tales
of fishy tomatoes, the mutable brain, genes
and prescriptions, and apes in Iowa—all
presided over by the quirky humor of host
John Hockenberry.
Delve into the fascinating world of
genetics and its effect on life in the 21st
century with The DNA Files.
John Hockenberry
“Minding the Brain”
Sunday, December 2
Researchers are grappling with the interplay between the inner
mind and the outer world, looking at how the brain a person is
born with changes in response to the cultural, social, personal,
and physical environments.
“Rewriting Heredity: Environment and the Genome”
Sunday, December 9
Geneticists now realize that genes do not act alone and that
environment, from our cells to our neighborhoods, works in
concert with our genetics.
“Beyond Human”
Sunday, December 16
As scientists try to understand what makes us different from
other animals, they keep running into what makes us the same.
Humans and chimps share most of their DNA, nearly as much
with mice, and a good proportion with non-mammals such as
bees and birds.

This program looks at the debates surrounding genetically
modified food. Some say manipulating genes in plants and
animals is the solution to world hunger; others say it’s not safe
to eat or grow.
Narrated by Leonard Nimoy and sung
by the acclaimed vocal sextet the Western
Wind Vocal Ensemble, Chanukah in
Story and Song presents twenty-five
eclectic selections, from Ladino songs of
the Spanish Jews and Yiddish melodies
of Eastern Europe, to modern Israeli
tunes and the ensemble’s original version
of “I Have a Little Dreydle.” The
ensemble performs a cappella as well
as with instrumental accompaniment.
The narration, written by Rabbi Gerald
Skolnik, sheds new light on the holiday’s
customs and rituals. You may well find
yourself humming the tunes after enjoying
this delightfully engaging program.

Sunday, December 30
Evolution is an ongoing process and as the Earth’s temperature
warms and cools, changes are being seen in migration patterns
of birds, insects, and even the microbial life of the oceans. This
program looks at how scientists track these changes, how
organisms adapt to them or not, and what this means for the
health of the planet.

Intelligence
Squared: Is it time
to end Affirmative
Action?
Tony Bennett
Sings the Ultimate
American Songbook
Tony Bennett and Dick Golden discuss the
great music of the American Songbook,
the legendary composers who wrote them,
and Bennett’s long career of performing
these standards. Bennett also tells stories
behind his most memorable recording
sessions of these songs, and the effect they
have had our lives. Although these songs
were written more than fifty years ago,
they are never dated and are well known
all over the world. Based on the crowd
reaction to Bennett’s performances in other
countries, he says these songs are “our
greatest ambassadors.”
Intelligence Squared is the intellectual
version of a pro-wrestling smackdown.
Three panelists argue for the motion and
three argue against, with a moderator
controlling the proceedings. After the
formal arguments, the debate is thrown
open to the floor for questions, triggering
a lively interchange among the speakers
and audience members. Each side attempts
to persuade an audience of tough-minded
New Yorkers to vote their way. This
adversarial context is electric, adding
drama and excitement to the proceedings.
The motion on the table tonight is “It’s
Time to End Affirmative Action.”

Arguing for the motion are Manhattan

A Season’s
Griot is public
radio’s only
nationally
syndicated
Kwanzaa
program.
Hosted for
the last fifteen
years by
storyteller
Madafo Lloyd
Wilson, this
special passes
on the folklore,
Madafo Lloyd Wilson
fables, and
mores of Africans and
their descendants and ancestors.
This year the program focuses on the
National Association of Black Storytellers, a group that uses the oral tradition to
document the heritage and culture of black
Americans. A highlight of the program is
an interview with NABS co-founder Linda
Goss about the life of her fellow NABS
co-founder, Mary Carter Smith, and their
efforts to create a vibrant forum for black
storytelling. There are also stories told by
group members, plenty of music, and an
original composition by the show’s poet
laureate, Beverly Fields Burnette.

The Christmas
Revels:
A Celebration of
the Winter Solstice
Lessons and Carols Artist of the Month
from Washington
As the days get shorter
and the nights colder,
National Cathedral we’ll help you stave
Host Robert Aubry
Davis welcomes you
to the third annual
broadcast of the
stirring Christmas
service from the
Washington National
Cathedral.
Each Christmas
Eve, the Cathedral
Robert Aubry Davis
hosts a quietly
spectacular Lesson and Carols, one of its
most attended and cherished events of
the year. The service combines biblical
readings that chronicle the story of
Jesus’ birth with age-old and all-new
carols, from folk to ethereal polyphony.
Attendees thrill to the swell of many
voices and organ together, as well as to the
contemplative hush of “Silent Night” as
the service ends.
Among the
service’s many
distinctions is the
sound of its Girl
Choristers, the
finest in North
America. Though
their sound is in
some ways similar
to that of boys,
the girls, ages
8 to 18, create
their own unique
aural beauty. Guided by Director of Music
Michael McCarthy, they are joined by
superb male choristers and a congregation
of 2,000 on this sacred night.
This year sees the centenary
celebrations of America’s greatest national
cathedral. Special music includes André
Thomas’ “African Nowell” with Morten
Lauridsen’s very popular “Magnum
Mysterium.” Two of John Rutter’s most
loved carols appear: “Shepherd’s Pipe
Carol” and his arrangement of “O Holy
Night.” Keith Chapman’s “Bring a Torch,
Jeanette Isabella” follows.
Join us for a signature holiday service
that embraces America’s evolving musical
traditions.
Children’s Chorus
This new compilation of country dance
tunes, carols, songs and motets was
excerpted from nine Revels celebrations
performed across the country.
Throughout history, rural and village
peoples of all cultures in the northern
hemisphere developed rituals, dances, and
songs to mark the mid-winter boundary
between the advance of the darkness
and the coming of the light, the death
of the old year and the birth of the new.
In the midst of winter’s darkness and
deprivation, they celebrated life and
prepared for the lengthening of the days,
the return of the sun’s illumination and
warmth, and the new growing season with
its vitality and abundance.
This multicultural sampler features
music from the Middle Ages through the
20th century, from Germany, Austria and
Switzerland, French Canada, Scandinavia,
Scotland, Eastern Europe, France, and
New England and Appalachia.
Host Elaine
Kennedy guides
you through
sacred and secular
folk materials
and composed
works, all rooted
in traditional
European
and American
observances of
Elaine Kennedy
Christmas, New
Year’s, the Feast of Fools, Twelfth Night
and the Winter Solstice, and some which
date back to pre-Christian times.

off the icy grip of
winter with WFIU’s
Artist of the Month
for December, soprano
Sylvia McNair.
A former
Sylvia McNair
announcer at WFIU
and an Indiana University alumna,
Sylvia McNair has enthralled audiences
from Auer Hall to the Met. This native
of Mansfield, Ohio attended Wheaton
College in Illinois before matriculating to
Indiana University in 1978. She made her
professional debut with the Indianapolis
Symphony in 1980 and since then has been
featured on more than seventy recordings,
earning two Grammy Awards. She now
appears often with leading orchestras from
around the world. In recent years, McNair
has ventured into jazz and Broadway
styles, releasing recordings in both genres.
Last year Sylvia McNair returned to
Bloomington, this time as a member of the
voice faculty at the IU Jacobs School of
Music where she continues to teach and
perform. All this month, WFIU spotlights
Sylvia McNair with recordings from her
large body of work.

Profiles
Sundays at 7 p.m.
December 2 – Orion String Quartet
The Orion String Quartet is one of the most sought-after ensembles in the United States.
Violinists and brothers Daniel Phillips and Todd Phillips, violist Steven Tenenbom, and
cellist Timothy Eddy have worked with such masters as Pablo Casals, Rudolf Serkin,
and Isaac Stern. Since its inception the quartet has been praised for its fresh perspective
and individuality, offering programs that juxtapose classic works of the quartet literature
with masterworks by living composers. The quartet spoke with Adam Ragusea. (repeat)
December 9 – Mary Ann Hart
Mezzo-soprano Mary Ann Hart is a professor of Music and the chair of the Department
of Voice at the Jacobs School of Music. She has won numerous song competitions,
including those of the Carnegie Hall International American Music Competition,
Concert Artists Guild, and NATS Artist Awards. Hart has appeared with the New York
Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, and American Composers Orchestra, and has
recorded for such labels as Chandos, Arabesque, and Telefunken-Decca. Peter Jacobi
hosts. (repeat)
December 16 – Karen Hanson
Karen Hanson is provost and executive vice president of Indiana University. She
has taught at IU Bloomington since 1976 in the Department of Philosophy, serving
as department chair and Rudy Professor. She also is an adjunct professor of gender
studies, American studies, and comparative literature. Her principal research interests
are in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, ethics, aesthetics, and American
philosophy. She has published many articles and essays in these areas and is the author
of The Self Imagined: Philosophical Reflections on the Social Character of Psyche.
December 23 – Crown Prince Alexander II and Crown Princess Katherine of Serbia
Crown Prince Alexander II is a contributor in the process of co-operation and unity
among the democratic political parties in Serbia. A defender of democracy and human
rights, he has taken an active role in helping his people shake off the legacy of decades
of communist dictatorship. Princess Katherine’s charitable activities have brought relief
to those in need regardless of religion or ethnic origin; and she is the patron of various
humanitarian organizations. The royal couple spoke with Patrick O’Meara. (repeat)
December 30 – David Hillenbrand and Scott Hillenbrand
Brothers David and Scott Hillenbrand are the owners of Hill & Brand Productions, a
company specializing in the creation and production of motion pictures, music, and
theater. Their movies include “Hostile Takeover,” “King Cobra,” and “Game Box 1.0,”
which is set in the world of a futuristic video game. The Hillenbrands also produced the
stage show “Adrift.” Scott played one of the lead roles while David, who studied music
at Indiana University, composed and performed the score. Peter Noble-Kuchera is the
host. (repeat)
December 26 to February 20
For forty-seven members of the Duke
University men’s Lacrosse team, March 13,
2006 became their personal Day of Infamy
when they were wrongfully indicted for
rape.
In this vivid, at times chilling account,
Pulitzer-nominated legal journalist Stuart
Taylor, Jr., and Brooklyn College historian
K.C. Johnson tell the story of an egregious
betrayal of the American legal system in
this book that author John Grisham calls
“brutally honest, exhaustively researched,
and compulsively readable.”
Stuart Taylor Jr.
K.C. Johnson
The facts of the case speak for
themselves: rogue prosecutor Mike Nifong
willfully disregarded evidence of the boys’
innocence (he was later disbarred) and
much of Duke’s faculty and the media
rushed to assume the students were guilty
until proven innocent in the racially
charged case (the New York Times comes
in for special
opprobrium).
The closing
chapters offer
balanced,
tautly argued
discussions of,
and remedies
for, the central
problems:
prosecutorial
abuse, the
frequency
of false rape
accusations, and
academic groupthink.
Until Proven Innocent is a gripping
story of how our judicial system can go
terribly wrong.
Contemporary
Music Highlights
WFIU’s featured contemporary composer
for December is Valentin Silvestrov.
A contemporary Ukrainian composer,
Silvestrov is best known for his avantgarde musical style. Using traditional
tonal and modal techniques, Silvestrov
creates a delicate tapestry of dramatic
and emotional textures, qualities that
he suggests are sacrificed in much
contemporary music. “I do not write new
music,” he says. “My music is a response
to and an echo of what already exists.”
WFIU will feature the works of
Valentin Silvestrov throughout the month
of December with performances by one
of his greatest proponents, Gidon Kremer,
among others.

WFIU Future Fund
Radio broadcasting is undergoing rapid change. One of WFIU’s
missions is to keep up with change, ensuring the best possible
service to both our current listeners and listeners of the future.
This future takes us beyond today’s broadcasting, into a world
where anyone, anywhere will be able to access our programs at
any time. These changes require a major investment in technology
that go well beyond the resources we generate through our annual
membership program that supports our daily operation.
To financially support these new initiatives, we created the
WFIU Future Fund. Thoughtful gifts to the Fund have come in
many forms—from direct cash gifts of support, to stock, retirement, insurance policies, and estate plans. The Future Fund
Charter Donors are listed below, with WFIU’s gratitude.
We welcome your participation in helping WFIU stay in the
broadcasting forefront. Listeners may support the WFIU Future
Fund, or any number of giving and naming opportunities beginning at $1,000 that permit individuals and businesses to become
involved beyond an annual membership or underwriting gift.
To learn how you can become involved, contact Nancy
Krueger at (812) 855-2935.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Future Fund

End of the Year Gift Ideas
he holidays can be a busy time of year—places to
go, recipes to make, cards to send, and gifts to give
for friends and family. Then as soon as the season winds
down, our thoughts turn to the inevitable: taxes!
Don’t omit your favorite charities or non-profits from
your gift list—those organizations that add meaning to
your life. Here are two ways to make charitable gifts
while reducing your taxes.
A Gift of Stock
If you own stock or mutual funds, you can enjoy greater
tax savings by donating property than by giving an
equivalent amount of cash. Giving appreciated stock
offers you a two-fold tax savings.
You avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in
value of your stock.
You receive a tax deduction for the fair market value
of the stock on the date of the gift.
Example: If you purchased stock years ago for
$1,000, and now it is worth $10,000, an outright gift
of that stock would result in a charitable deduction of
$10,000. In addition, you avoid paying capital gains tax
on the $9,000 of appreciation.
Interested? Let us know soon so we can process your
gift before the end of the year. Contact Nancy Krueger
at 812-855-2935 or [email protected], or visit our
giving Web site at wfiu.indiana.edu/majorgiving.
A Gift of Membership
Art posters highlight
shared mission
Framed posters of past SoFa Gallery
exhibits now line the hallway that
connects WFIU and the School of Fine
Arts.
“We hope these posters of previous
exhibits will make visitors to our two
buildings curious about what the SoFA
Gallery is up to now,” said Gallery
Director Betsy Stirratt.
Stirratt and Fine Arts Director
Paul Brown collaborated with Radio/
TV Services to frame and hang the
group of classic posters. The exhibit
will remind the many students, faculty,
staff, and visitors who regularly
travel between the two buildings of
the arts mission shared by the two
organizations.
Consider giving a gift of WFIU membership to your
favorite person this season. The recipient receives a letter
acknowledging your gift; a fifteen percent discount on
purchases from our online store and ShopPBS.org; and a
subscription to our monthly program guide. With a fifty
dollar contribution, we’ll add the WFIU MemberCard
that provides discounts at participating area restaurants,
bed & breakfast inns, museums, and community events.
Remember too, all contributions to WFIU, including
membership, are tax-deductible. An added bonus is
the tax credit of fifty percent of your donation (up to
100 dollars for individuals and 200 dollars for couples)
that can be claimed on your Indiana IT-40 Form for
Indiana College Credit. Contributions must be made by
December 31, 2007 to qualify for 2007 tax advantages.
Use our online membership form at indiana.
edu/~wfiu/membform.html or call our Membership
Department at 812-855-6114 for details on making your
year-end gift of membership.

Our Town:
Greencastle, Indiana
Sunday, December 2 at 7pm; Tuesday,
December 4 at 1pm; Thursday,
December 6 at 8pm
When viewers watch WTIU’s newest
Our Town documentary about
Greencastle, they will likely come
away thinking it’s a friendly, happy
town and a model for a what small
community should be, according to
John Winninger, executive producer
of the program.
Our Town: Greencastle, Indiana is
the fourth community to be profiled
in WTIU’s ongoing series putting
the spotlight on towns and cities in
southern and central Indiana. As with
the other programs, the Greencastle
show started with a community
meeting to get input from citizens
about what makes their town special.
“We didn’t have to dig at all for
interesting features,” Winninger
said. “There was really good
representation from the first call-out
meeting. The community was very
aware of their history and significant
events. They were very responsive
and excited and seemed honored to
have been chosen.”
The program will include segments
on the history, economy, folklore
and people of Greencastle. Viewers
will learn about the Heritage Wall,
the impact of IBM leaving the
community, DePauw University, the
national road, the fire that burned
most of the town in 1874 and the
John Dillinger bank robbery in 1933.
WTIU has previously featured
Spencer, Bedford and Seymour.
Winninger said the common thread in
each documentary has been a genuine
love of the community by the people
who live there.

Footprints to
Paradise:
A Mediaeval Christmas
The vocal artistry of
an elite quartet of
solo male voices, the
New York Polyphony,
joins forces with
Los Angeles theatre
director Stan
Cahill and some of
Broadway’s most
acclaimed young
Bill McGlaughlin
talent to present a
stellar hour of holiday listening.
The program includes the medieval
Norman (French) tradition of the talking
animals, the belief that at midnight
on Christmas Eve, the animals at the
manger were given the gift of speech. The
animal scene, newly added this year and
characteristic of the naïve style of this kind
of folk theatre, was recorded in the United
Kingdom with children from London’s
Stagecoach agency.
Footsteps to Paradise was recorded in
New York’s historic St. George’s Church,
one of the major examples of Victorian
architecture in New York City and site of
one of its finest acoustical settings. Your
host is Bill McGlaughlin.
Carols for Dancing The Pleasures of
Winter
Carols are usually thought of as songs
performed during the Christmas
season. But originally carols sprang up
as festive dance songs for a variety of
holidays. Laude, villancicos, noëls and
Weihnachtslieder were medieval dancesong
forms that became linked with celebrations
of Christmas and then flowered during
the Renaissance. These cheerful songs
accompanied joyful dancing at home and
in the streets, in churches and cathedrals.
Carols for Dancing explores the
connection between song and dance
in this rich heritage of holiday music.
Built around vigorous performances
by the Renaissonics, an improvisatory
Renaissance dance band that produced
new arrangements for this special, the
program intersperses instrumental music
with brief, intriguing narratives, revealing
the fascinating and often unexpected
stories behind much-loved carols.
Ellen Kushner hosts.

Jay Ungar and Molly Mason are one of
the most celebrated duos on the American
acoustic music scene. They’ve garnered
legions of fans through their appearances
on Great Performances and A Prairie
Home Companion, and their songs have
been used in the movie scores of Brother’s
Keeper, Legends of the Fall and Ken
Burns’ PBS series The Civil War, which
featured Ungar’s haunting composition
“Ashokan Farewell.” The folk duo hosts
The Pleasures of Winter, recorded live at
the Linda Norris Auditorium in Albany,
NY.
The music ranges from lively, seasonal
offerings to deeply moving pieces that
reflect the more thoughtful and reflective
side of winter and the holiday season.
Interspersed among this unique selection
of music are short seasonal readings, some
humorous, some thought provoking.
The program features acclaimed singer
and song stylist Kate Pierson of the B-52s
with pianist Rob Arthur, traditional winter
songs from the British Isles with vocal
and instrumental quartet Nowell Sing We
Clear, American folk duo John Kirk and
Trish Miller, and Jay Ungar and Molly
Mason and their house band, with Peter
Davis (clarinet, guitar, piano, vocals) and
Sam Zucchini (drums).
