Page 2 / Directions in Sound / February 2008 A Prairie Home Companion comes to Indiana Listen to a live, national broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion when Garrison Keillor and company perform the radio show on the stage of the IU Auditorium Garrison and cast shown performing live on stage in Bloomington. WFIU will air the program on Saturday, February 16th at 6 p.m. “The last time Garrison Keillor and the entire cast came to Bloomington for a live broadcast was back in 1992,” says Station Manager Christina Kuzmych. “Much has changed in the world since then, but in Lake Wobegon, things change at a slower pace, if at all. “In any event,” Kuzmych adds, “it was worth waiting for them to visit us again. WFIU is proud to bring this popular and family friendly live broadcast to Bloomington. It’s a formidable undertaking, but our expert WFIU staff is up to the challenge.” This year’s engagement came about when Keillor was in Bloomington last year to appear in a solo performance at the IU Auditorium. He asked Auditorium Director Doug Booher when the last time A Prairie Home Companion had done a show there. Upon hearing that it had been fifteen years, Keillor declared that it was indeed time to return. “Needless to say, we didn’t argue,” says Booher. “We took his eagerness to return as a compliment to both the Auditorium and the great work of WFIU. This upcoming broadcast of the show will prove to be another great collaboration between two community gems, WFIU and the IU Auditorium.” As the guide went to press, premium seating tickets were still available for the live broadcast on February 16. Premium seats are located in the first sixteen center orchestra rows. Ticket holders are entitled to attend a post-show VIP reception that immediately follows the broadcast in the foyer of the auditorium, featuring hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and live music. Premium seating tickets are $180 each. To reserve your tickets, call 8556114 or 800-662-3311 during regular business hours. (Attendees to the live broadcast need to arrive at the auditorium by 5:45 p.m.) A Prairie Home Companion is now in its thirty-second year of production. Broadcast live Saturday evenings from the historic Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota, it features comedy sketches, music, and Garrison Keillor’s signature monologue, “The News from Lake Wobegon”—stories of the fictitious little town “that time forgot and the decades could not improve.” Keillor also writes and hosts The Writer’s Almanac, heard on WFIU weeknights at 7:01 p.m.. He has written more than a dozen books, including Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of Guys, and his most recent, Pontoon. Keillor was born in Anoka, Minnesota, in 1942 and was graduated from the University of Minnesota. He lives in St. Paul with his wife and daughter and has two grandsons. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Episcopal Church.

This month we broadcast episodes five through eight of this thirteenpart series. Your host is well-known La Jolla resident and classical musical lover, legendary sportscaster, IU alumnus, and former WFIU Host Dick Enberg student announcer Dick Enberg. The February 10th program includes Sylvia’s Dilemma, a five-minute spokensung piece by soprano Sylvia McNair, that describes how her shift from opera to popular song begin to make itself known. “In 1999, I was engaged by the Metropolitan Opera to sing the role of Cleopatra in Handel’s opera Julius Caesar,” McNair explains. “One day we were rehearsing my first aria in Act Two, where the magnificent Cleopatra is seducing the great Julius Caesar, and while singing ‘V’adoro pupille,’ I found myself really wanting to sing “Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you.” “I thought maybe this was just a onetime occurrence, but then it happened again during La Traviata. While singing Violetta’s toast to freedom, “Sempre Libera,” what popped into my head was “Don’t Fence Me In!” February 3 – Haydn: She Never Told Her Love; Kate Lindsey, mezzo-soprano; Anthony Newman, piano.

Harry Belafonte Tavis Smiley Economic Club of Indiana Speakers Series: Michael McRobbie Sunday, February 3, 9 p.m. Memories of the Movement Sunday, February 3, 8 p.m. WFIU’s celebration of Black History Month kicks off with this compelling documentary about a turbulent time in our nation’s history. The years of the civil rights movement are counted among the most volatile yet vibrant times in American history. The people and events that shaped this period range from charismatic preachers and actors to students and domestic workers. To celebrate the courage, conviction, and commitment of the everyday people who made extraordinary contributions to American social progress, The Tavis Smiley Show presents Memories of the Movement. Introduced and narrated by Tavis Smiley, this powerful special features the poignant, humorous, unheard, or little known stories and anecdotes from living civil rights figures such as actors Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee, preachers Jesse Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm In this luncheon talk delivered in December of last year, IU President Michael McRobbie spoke to the Economic Club of Indiana at the Indiana Convention Michael McRobbie Center in Indianapolis. A technology expert and accomplished professor, McRobbie held the position of interim provost and vice president of academic affairs prior to becoming president. He has led an extensive transformation in information technology during his time at IU. His vision led to the university’s management of the Internet2 Abilene network and the acquisition of one of the world’s twenty most powerful supercomputers. McRobbie was selected to Computerworld magazine’s 2004 list of “Premier 100 IT Leaders.” A native of Australia, he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Queensland and a doctorate from Australia National University. February 2008 / Directions in Sound / Page 3 Swingtime Sunday, February 10, 9 p.m. During the 1930s and 1940s, many black schools in the U.S. maintained traveling swing bands to keep their doors open during the Depression. Narrator Tonea Stewart profiles Tonea Stewart three of the era’s most famous bands in this showcase of the Bama State Collegians, the Prairie View Co-eds, and the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. Stewart weaves the era’s music around interviews with surviving band members, scholarly commentary, and archival sound from now-deceased band members, including the great Erskine Hawkins. The traveling ensembles influenced mainstream music on a grand scale. Harlem’s top jazz orchestras pulled talent from these bands, whose members made enduring contributions to American culture. Hawkins’ “Tuxedo Junction,” for example, became the anthem for American GIs in World War II. The songs in this program go beyond the iconic—“In the Mood,” “Take the A Train,” “Henderson Stomp”—to include lesser known gems like “Vi Vigor,” composed for International Sweethearts of Rhythm saxophonist Vi Burnside. Band members describe what it was like for them as teens, many from poor homes, to travel the country as stars of swing. Making History in Massachusetts Doctors Without Borders Sunday, February 17, 8 p.m. Sunday, February 17, 9 p.m. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick made the journey from the south side of Chicago to the State House of Massachusetts. He is only the second elected black governor in U.S. history. Around the world, where governments don’t function, humanitarian organizations feed the hungry and heal the sick. The 1999 Nobel Peace Prize-winning Médecins Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without Borders, is one such group. Their medical staff serves victims of war and poverty, working under dangerous conditions. It would be easy to romanticize their work, but the reality contradicts that view. In this Inside Out documentary, correspondent Michael Goldfarb takes us into the Niger River delta, as a team from Doctors Without Borders returns to the region where the organization was founded thirty years ago. Deval Patrick From WBUR in Boston, this program profiles Governor Patrick and the election campaign that brought him into office in January of last year. It recounts how the Chicago native escaped poverty and hardship by coming to school in Massachusetts, and how he followed that up with Harvard law school and work in the Clinton administration. Bob Oakes and Fred Thys report on what finally led Patrick from private law practice to political campaigning. The program includes the comments of Andrew Young and Douglas Wilder and a discussion in the final segment on the new politics of race across the nation, and how the election of Deval Patrick fits into that new reality. Andrew Young With Goldfarb we travel by boat through mangrove swamps and dense forest observing the team of physicians as they treat malaria victims and inoculate children against the disease. Traveling farther into Nigeria we attend a ceremony in which traditional healing practices such as animal sacrifice provide a vivid contrast to the Western science that Doctors Without Borders offers. Finally we listen to the doctors and nurses as they unwind and take stock of the personal and professional implications of their work. Douglas Wilder International Sweethearts of Rhythm Page 4 / Directions in Sound / February 2008 Bloomington 103.7 fm • Columbus 100.7 fm • French Lick/West Baden 101.7 fm From Cold War to Cold Peace Profiles Sunday, February 24, 8 p.m. February 3 – Wayne Manns When the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, there was a chance for cooperation where there had once been conflict. For a while it seemed friendship might replace the bitter legacy of the Cold War. But eighteen years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, relations between Washington and Moscow are once again icy. Ray Suarez looks at how President Putin has retained Vladimir Putin his popularity despite cracking down on political freedom in Russia. He also explores Russia’s position on the independence of Kosovo and what it says about Russia’s foreign policy. Andrea Koppel narrates an archival audio tour of the history of US-Russian relations since the fall of the Soviet Union. She speaks with James Goldgeier, professor of political science at The George Washington University. Garrick Utley looks back at the Clinton administration’s efforts to expand NATO while maintaining friendly relations with Russia. He is joined by Warren Christopher, former Secretary of State; Anthony Lake, former National Security Advisor; Strobe Talbott, former Deputy Secretary of State, and others. Figurative painter Wayne Manns uses a Brazilian-influenced palette of bold colors to depict jazz musicians and the black experience. He has had numerous group and solo shows throughout the U.S., Europe, and South America; and his work is represented in numerous private and public collections, including IU’s Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. As a curator, he has overseen exhibits at the Kinsey Institute and the Mathers Museum; and in San Francisco he worked with at-risk youth to create a mural of Rosa Parks that won a Best New Mural Award of 1997. Shana Ritter is the host. Sundays at 7 p.m. February 10 – George List George List is a major figure in the field of ethnomusicology.

February 2008 / Directions in Sound / Page 7 The Radio Reader with Dick Estell Playing For Pizza by John Grisham Airs February 11 through March 4 John Grisham’s latest novel is “a light-hearted story of football, food, and love” (The Richmond Times-Dispatch). Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In John Grisham a championship game against Denver, to the surprise and dismay of virtually everyone, Rick actually got into the game. With a 17-point lead and just minutes to go, Rick provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock, was immediately cut by the Browns, and shunned by all other teams. But all Rick knows is football, and he insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team that needs him. Against enormous odds Arnie finally locates just such a team and informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in fact now be a starting quarterback—for the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy. Italians do play American football (after a fashion) and the Parma Panthers desperately want a former NFL player at their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to play for the Panthers, at least until a better offer comes along, and heads to Italy. He knows nothing about Parma, has never been to Europe, and doesn’t understand a word of Italian. To say that Italy—the land of opera, fine wines, extremely small cars, romance, and Football Americano—holds a few surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

A bequest to WFIU helps ensure your property is distributed according to your needs and wishes. A charitable bequest may be in the form of cash, securities, real estate, or other property. It is generally not subject to estate or inheritance taxes and it significantly reduces the tax burden of your estate. You can make a gift through your will for a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your total estate, or as a residual portion of your estate after payment of expenses and all other specific bequests have been made. Gifts come in many sizes—even one or two percent of the remainder of your estate could make a big difference to your public radio station. Bequests can also be made to benefit a specific program area of WFIU’s broadcasting day, such as news from the BBC, local news, or, say, A Moment of Science or Harmonia. Help ensure the continuation of WFIU’s on-air services to communities in south-central Indiana for many years to come by giving back to the station that has contributed so much to the quality of your life.

Long Distance Love While the Oscars are being handed out in Hollywood, WFIU will broadcast a sort of “Alternative Academy Awards of 2007,” as movie review Peter NobleKuchera interviews Professor Emeritus of Communication Peter Noble-Kuchera and Culture James Naremore on Profiles. They will analyze recent movie trends and discuss their favorites of last year—including some lesser-known films that you may have missed. “Two thousand seven was a year of lackluster blockbusters,” says NobleKuchera, “but dazzling independent features, almost too many to take into account. It was a year in which an animated rat was upstaged by an animated Iranian girl. And the long-overdue writers’ strike paralyzed the industry, threatening even that most stalwart of institutions, the 80th annual Academy Awards show.” For more information on James Naremore, see Profiles listings on page 5. From Radio Netherlands comes Long Distance Love, two tales of transatlantic romance to warm up your Valentines Day. In the first half hour: “From Brooklyn to Banja Luka,” the story of a New Yorker and a Serb who overcame their passionate irritation at each other’s cultural and personal peccadilloes to build a life and a family together. The second half hour, “Mucho Corazon,” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers from Holland and Cuba who struggle to find a way to be together while their governments work to keep them apart. W IU wfiu.org Indiana University 1229 East 7th Street Bloomington, IN 47405-5501 29-200-91 Printed on Domtar EarthChoice© paper. Sunday, February 10, 8 p.m. The Last Letter Home Sunday, February 25, 9 p.m. This radio drama tells the story of the 332nd fighter group, also known as the Tuskegee Airmen, who overcame segregation and prejudice to become one of the most highly respected fighter groups of World War II. The group never lost a plane it was protecting to air fire, only to assaults from the ground. They proved conclusively that blacks could fly and maintain sophisticated combat aircraft, overcoming doubt by many in the military. The Tuskegee Airmen’s achievements, together with the men and women who supported them, paved the way for full integration of the U.S. military. The program includes an interview with retired Lt. Col. John Mosley, a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, as well as period music by composer Joe Bonner. Tuskegee Airmen attending a briefing in Ramitelli, Italy—March, 1945.
