State of the Station
Dear Members,
Thank you for supporting WFIU! As a new year is about to begin,
we look forward to continuing our service to you and our communities.
Like so many around us, we experienced both highs and lows this
past year. Your quick and generous response resulted in the most
successful fund drive in WFIU's history; it even ended two days
early. We made solid strides in programming, technology, and outreach.
Our low point came in June, when an accounting change made by the
State Board of Accounts contributed to a cut in our Corporation
for Public Broadcasting grant of $50,000. This loss was unexpected
and critical to our services.
In response, we trimmed our budget through a hiring freeze in news
and music areas, eliminated salary increases for professional staff,
and reduced operating expenditures. Programming was spared, with
the exception of Marketplace which left our schedule briefly, only
to be saved thanks to our friends at American Public Media. Unrelated
to the cut in CPB funding, we also lost Talking History when its
producing entity, the Organization of American Historians, lost
its program funding. These tough experiences serve to remind us
just how precarious funding is in public radio, and how important
your individual and corporate support is to programming WFIU.
Congress took us on what has become an annual roller coaster ride
of threats and partial restorations in federal funding. Your willingness
to share your thoughts with your representatives carries weight,
and softened these blows. There is no doubt that when it comes to
federal funding for public broadcasting, representatives listen
to their constituents. Though we still maintain uneasy support in
Congress, industry leaders tell us that federal funding for public
broadcasting will shrink in the future, as more and more causes
claim the nation's budget. This prophesies a future in which public
radio will need to find alternative sources of funding.
On the bright side, our award-winning news department produced a
record number of stories, and we welcomed a new statehouse reporter
based in Indianapolis. Funded through IPBS, a consortium of Indiana
public radio and television stations, her reports increase our state
news coverage. Several new music programs joined the schedule, including
the popular Cantabile-a labor of love by our announcer, Robert Samels.
As many of you know, Robert died in the April 20th plane accident
that claimed the lives of four other IU students. Cantabile is archived
on our Web site, and Robert's memory lives on through a fund seeded
by his fellow workers and generously supported through contributions
from many of you. New and exciting upcoming programs include Artworks,
a weekly magazine focusing on local culture, as well as a series
of programs exploring the Life Sciences.
Migration to digital technology brought us closer to achieving
the secondary audio channel that will allow for two streams, one
for music and the other for talk. Pending funding, this much-awaited
dream is within reach. Responding to a growing audience that listens
"on-demand," we created a rich radio archive library accessible
to listeners anywhere in the world, and several of our programs
are now available as podcasts. Federal grants awarded this year
will help fund delivery of the WFIU signal to areas underserved
by public radio-West Baden and Greensburg. And, we're working with
NPR to install a new delivery system that will replace satellite.
This will streamline our operation and make it easier for you to
access information and listen to the programs you enjoy at any time.
Anticipating tight funding, WFIU and WTIU initiated a major gift
and planned giving program that has grown to include the Future
Fund as well as numerous other opportunities for philanthropic giving.
These programs allow individuals to support WFIU and enjoy a variety
of tax breaks and income streams. Some of you have invested in WFIU's
growth through these programs, and we thank you for your generous
support.
Despite obstacles, this has been an exciting year with much to be
proud of. There was the "Iraqi National" story that won
an award from the Society of Professional Journalists, the interviews
with Alex Kerr and John Harbison, and the more than 2,000 announcements
supporting learning and social services in our area. We cheered
our WFIU-trained reporter broadcasting for NPR from Indonesia, and
we sent one of our brightest junior reporters to Washington for
an internship at NPR. This summer we shared our public radio mission
and values with a group of Ukrainian broadcasters who were both
baffled and intrigued by the concept of a radio station that exists
to serve the public and that builds a community of dedicated listeners
and supporters. The list is diverse and endless. It has a common
thread, though-to touch and teach, to inspire, and to truly make
a difference to individuals. This thread has grown over the years
into a national fabric that binds individuals who share common values
of critical thinking and an appreciation of culture. It's heartening
to see the emergence of a public radio culture that adds a touch
of levity to our national discourse.
But returning to the task at hand, we have a tough challenge ahead
of us-to overcome the CPB shortfall and sustain the services that
enrich our communities for the next year and into the future. Quite
frankly, we need your help more crucially this year than ever before.
We have a fund drive goal of $330,000 to cover programming expenses
alone. Yes, it's a steep goal compared to previous years, but we
truly believe that together we can reach it.
Please take this time to renew your membership and invest in WFIU.
Your support makes the difference in the quality of our service
and allows us to live up to our WFIU slogan-Radio that Matters.

They Made America: From the Steam
Engine to the Search Engine, Two Centuries of Innovators
Sunday, November 5, 8:30 p.m. (start time approximate due to
Fund Drive)
From the steam engine to the search engine, two centuries of innovators
have helped shape America. Whether it's the creative concept of
a transcontinental railroad or the mass production of blue jeans,
innovation has led the way in building the foundation that America,
and subsequently, much of the world, stands on.
Journalist and editor Sir Harold Evans hosts this journey through
the times, lives, and ideas of the dynamic people who shaped this
country, based on his book "They Made America."
The program brings to life the stories of pathfinders, inventors,
and democratizers-including not only Edison, Ford, and the creators
of the Google search engine, but less well known contributors, such
as Theodore Judah, creator of the transcontinental railroad, and
Oliver Evans, inventor of the first automatic integrated production
line.
The program also highlights innovations from women, who started
to make a breakthrough in the 20th century after overcoming social
constraints and lack of capital in earlier periods. Interviews include
Joan Ganz Cooney, founder of Children's Television Workshop and
the visionary behind "Sesame Street," family cosmetics
company founder Estée Lauder, and Barbie doll inventor Ruth
Handler.
Also heard are business leader and former Chairman and CEO of General
Electric Jack Welch, author and New Yorker writer Ken Auletta, and
media mogul Ted Turner.

The World of Robert Schumann
Sundays at 4 p.m. beginning November 12
"I am affected by everything that goes on in the world . .
. politics, literature, and people . . . everything extraordinary
that happens impresses me and impels me to express it in music."
- Robert Schumann
This remarkable new thirteen-part series brings to life the composer
whose contributions led to a revolution in music that is still felt
today. The World of Robert Schumann tells a story full of drama
and romance that entertains as well as informs. It covers Schumann's
conflicts over a career as a lawyer and a composer, his pioneering
work as a journalist/critic, his innovations in musical expression
and form, and his mysterious hand ailment that ruined his career
as virtuoso pianist.
Figuring prominently is Schumann's stormy courtship with the young
pianist Clara Wieck and their extraordinary marriage partnership.
Professional actors portray Robert and Clara, reading from their
letters and diaries. And of course there are hundreds of excerpts
of Schumann's music.
Esteemed critics assess Schumann's romantic obsession with madness
and discuss Schumann's writings about contemporaries Brahms and
Chopin, top pianists play and discuss the piano music that John
Browning calls "the most dangerous of all the piano repertoire,"
world-class singers talk about the celebrated song literature, and
conductors discuss the many chamber works, choral works, and symphonies.
Producer/host John Tibbetts spent twenty years compiling the program,
traveling the world to capture the interviews with often elusive
luminaries. He sought to convey not just the "outer" voices
of Schumann's music-the instrumentation, the melodic contours, the
harmonic adventures, and the formal eccentricities-but also, in
his words, "that sense so peculiar to Schumann's music of an
inner voice; a kind of musical speech murmuring beneath the surface,
sometimes musing, sometimes disputatious and disruptive, sometimes
downright baffling."
The esteemed participants include Virgil Thomson, Elly Ameling,
Emanuel Ax, Garrick Ohlsson, Eugenia Zuckerman, Christoph von Dohnanyi,
Lucas Foss, Leonard Slatkin, professor Jacques Barzun, critics Virgil
Thomson and Martin Bookspan, actor Simon Callow, and many others.
November 12
"The Romantic Apprenticeship: Student Days, 1810-1830"
This first program in the series focuses on Schumann's upbringing
in Zwickau, his early conflicts between a career in law and music,
and extended analyses of Schumann's early piano music, including
the Beethoven Variations and the Papillons, Opus 2. We'll hear from
conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch, pianists Claude Frank, Paul Badura-Skoda,
and Cyprian Katsaris. Also commentary by historian Eric Sams and
biographer Dr. Peter Ostwald.
November 19
"Florestan and Eusebius: A Case Study in Dual Personality"
This episode explores how Schumann created alter egos to express
his creative and personal conflicts and divisions. It features analyses
of the piano cycles Kreisleriana, Opus 16, and the Davidsbundler
Tonze, Opus 6, by pianists Anton Kuerti, Charles Rosen, Jean-Bernard
Pommier, Ivo Pogorelich, Vladimir Feltsman, and Philippe Bianconi.
Also, psychoanalytical commentary by biographer Drs. Peter Ostwald
and Ronald Taylor.
November 25
"The Courtship of Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck, 1935-1840"
The celebrated love story runs into numerous difficulties, parental
objections, and legal tangles. Commentary by biographers Drs. Peter
Ostwald and Nancy Reich; musical analyses of the Clara Variations
by pianist Anton Kuerti, and of the Fantasie in C, Opus 17 by pianists
Charles Rosen and Mary-Louise Boehm, and historian Eric Sams.

Angela
Gheorghiu: A Portrait
Sunday, November 12, 8 p.m.
To mark the upcoming U.S. appearance of the great virtuoso soprano
Angela Gheorghiu, WFIU presents Angela Gheorghiu: A Portrait,
a unique two-hour biographical profile of her life and career.
Now at the very height of her powers, Miss Gheorghiu speaks with
producer Jon Tolansky about her life and career, her love of music
and arts of many genres, and her interpretation of operatic roles
and songs that have brought her acclaim as one of the most admired
dramatic and lyric singer actresses of this and the previous century.
Contributors include tenor Roberto Alagna, soprano Carol Neblett,
mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, conductor Antonio Pappano, musicologist
and writer Charles Osborne, opera scholar and impresario Lord
Harewood, former President of EMI Classics Peter Alward, and former
Opera Director of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Paul Findlay.
The program covers Miss Gheorghiu's life from the time of growing
up and developing as an artist in communist Romania, through her
now famous debuts in the world's major opera houses and concert
halls. It continues up to the present time of still increasing
accolades as a vocal virtuoso, a master interpreter of repertoire
that is ever widening into new areas, and a vibrant and subtle
stage actress.
Illustrating her artistry are extracts from her complete recordings
of La traviata, Il trovatore, L'elisir d'amore, Tosca, La Boheme,
La rondine, Manon, Werther, Carmen, and Romeo et Juliette, recital
recordings of arias by Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, and many other
composers, recordings of duets with the outstanding tenor Roberto
Alagna (her husband), as well as recordings of music from her
homeland, Romania, and, in great contrast, the Broadway stage.

Iran-A Revolutionary State
Sunday, November 19, 8 p.m.
Iran appears to have a repressed yet fanatical population railing
against the United States. Yet Iran had the Middle East's first
democratically-elected government, and for a century, Iran has had
a sustained women's movement. In Iran-A Revolutionary State, host
John Tusa takes a close look at the making of modern Iran. Journeying
through a turbulent century, he takes up the challenge of understanding
the origins of Iran and the paradox at the heart of the nation.

Early Signs: Reports from a Warming
Planet
Sunday, November 19, 9 p.m.
The early signs of climate change are showing up across vastly
differing landscapes: from melting outposts near the Arctic Circle
to disappearing glaciers high in the Andes; from the rising water
in the deltas of Bangladesh to the "sinking" atolls of
the Pacific. Reports from a Warming Planet takes you to parts of
the planet where global warming is already making changes to life
and landscape. The reports demonstrate how climate change is no
longer restricted to scientific modeling about the future; it's
happening now.

National Press Club: Education
Secretary Margaret Spellings
Sunday, November 26, 8 p.m. (till approximately 9:30)
In our fast-changing world, has higher education kept pace? Is
it accessible to students of all backgrounds, including minorities,
low-income students, and adults? Is it affordable? And accountable
to the students, parents, and taxpayers who foot the bill?
These are some of the questions addressed by U.S. Education Secretary
Margaret Spellings at her recent talk to the National Press Club
in Washington, D.C.
"There is an urgent need for change in America's higher education
system," Spellings said. "We know higher education is
the key to our children's future and the American dream yet it is
becoming more unaffordable and less attainable . . . . To remain
competitive in the 21st century global economy, we must act now
and continue the national dialogue and work together to find the
right solutions."

What's the Word? W. E. B. Du Bois
Sunday, November 26, 9:30 p.m. (time approximate)
Many consider W. E. B. Du Bois the most important black leader
in the first half of the twentieth century. A sociologist, historian,
author, teacher, activist, and co-founder of the NAACP and its magazine
The Crisis, Du Bois was profoundly influential, and his work remains
relevant today.
On this program, produced by the Modern Language Association for
their What's the Word? series, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David
Levering Lewis tells us about Du Bois' early life and the years
that led up to the publication of "The Souls of Black Folk,"
in which Du Bois took a forceful stand against the policy of accommodation.
Marlon B. Ross explores some of the social and political issues
that Du Bois responded to in the book, and Cheryl Townsend Gilkes
discusses the book's continuing influence.

Artist of the Month:
Emilio Colón
This month WFIU is pleased to feature performances by IU Jacobs
School of Music faculty member cellist Emilio Colón.
Colón received his undergraduate degree from the Puerto Rico
Conservatory of Music, where he was awarded the Pablo Casals Medal.
He continued his studies at Indiana University, and he received
his master's degree while studying with Janos Starker.
Before returning to Indiana as one of the youngest faculty members
in the school's history, Colón made his mark by winning solo
competitions, teaching at the New World School of Arts in Florida,
and being part of resident chamber music groups at several different
schools. His involvement with the cello isn't limited to teaching
and performing-he has also published editions and arrangements of
cello music, conducts the IU Cello Ensemble, and is currently the
Executive Vice President of the Eva Janzer Memorial Cello Center
Foundation.
WFIU will feature Colón's commercial recordings and IU performances
throughout November. On the Wednesday, November 1st at 10:08 p.m.,
Colón leads the IU Cello Ensemble in Heitor Villa-Lobos'

(7 p.m. to approximately 8:30)
This special Fund Drive program focuses on journalist Daniel Schorr,
a veteran of newspaper, network and cable television, and radio
news. Schorr looks back on a lifetime of experiences reporting on
historical events and people that range from Khrushchev and the
Berlin Wall to Richard Nixon, Ted Turner, and Frank Zappa. Robert
Siegel hosts the program, which features archival tape, Schorr's
frank accounts of decisions he has made and reporting he has done.
Schorr contemporaries Helen Thomas, Seymour Hersh, Marvin Kalb,
David Wise, William Safire, and NPR's Weekend Edition hosts Scott
Simon and Liane Hansen share their experiences working with a legend
of journalism. (runs till approximately 8:30 p.m.)
November 12 - Dessa Kirk
Dessa Kirk is a Chicago sculptor known for making large-scale
lilies and depictions of women from Greek mythology. Her installations
include "Daphne Garden" as part of Chicago's Art in the

beauty in ugliness, and she often makes her pieces from scraps of
discarded Cadillac cars. Her sculptures are huge and rugged looking,
ranging from raw to elegant. Shana Ritter is the host.
November 30 - Alexander Kerr
By the time Alexander Kerr became the youngest member of the
string faculty at the IU Jacobs School of Music, he had amassed
a considerable orchestral and solo career. He has served as concertmaster
of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and appeared as a soloist
with orchestras throughout Europe and the United States. As a chamber
musician, he has collaborated with such notables as IU alumni Joshua
Bell and Edgar Meyer. Most recently he mounted a chamber music tour
of Europe with violinist Sarah Chang and members of the Berlin Philharmonic.
He spoke with Peter Jacobi. (repeat)
November 26 - James MacMillan
James MacMillan is a composer/conductor with the BBC Philharmonic
whose music combines rhythmic excitement, raw emotional power, and
spiritual meditation. References to folk music from his native Scotland
give his work a strong sense of the vernacular, while strongly held
religious and political beliefs inform both the spirit and subject
matter of his music. His works have been performed worldwide by
orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, the New York
and Los Angeles Philharmonics, and the Cleveland Orchestra. His
large-scale work for chorus a cappella, Sun-dogs, was premiered
in 2006 by the Indiana University Contemporary Vocal Ensemble. He
spoke with Cary Boyce.

The Radio Reader
with Dick Estell
"High Plains Tango"
by Robert James Waller
Begins Thursday, November 30
Number of episodes: Twenty-four
Carlisle McMillan, a traveler and master carpenter, seeks a place
of quiet amid the grinding roar of progress. He finds his quiet,
or so he believes, in Salamander, South Dakota, where he begins
rebuilding a decrepit house-and rebuilding his life at the same
time.
He also finds two very different, independent women: Gally Deveraux,
who works at a diner in Salamander and longs for something more
than she is, and Susanna Benteen, beautiful and enigmatic, who was
drawn to Salamander for mysterious reasons of her own, a woman the
town has labeled a witch.
For McMillan, the women, his carpenter's trade, and an old Indian
known as Flute Player bring him a sense of contentment for a while.
But his quiet is shattered as bulldozer treads begin to turn and
the Yerkes County War commences. Run or stand your ground-that is
McMillan's dilemma, with Gally on one side, and Susanna on the other.
An ode to the mythical Western small town of yesteryear by the author
of "The Bridges of Madison County."

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 rexsources 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 Judy Witt, WFIU/WTIU
Major and Planned Gifts Officer, at jwitt@indiana.edu or 812-855-2935.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Future Fund Charter
