A Time for Renewal by Will Murphy, WFIU Station Operations Director

April is a time of hope and regeneration. The sun is shining again, the snow has changed to rain, and flowers are making their first forays on the new season. And at WFIU, April brings a renewed sense of purpose and mission.

The WFIU Spring fund drive runs April 7 to 13th. It’s that time of year when we ask listeners, new and renewing, to help sustain the station with their generous financial support. And for the week prior, we’re having a “silent campaign,” in which we’re especially hoping to hear from listeners who have never donated before. Folks who pledge during the silent drive (March 31-April 6) will be automatically entered in a drawing for one of the three Bose Bluetooth Speakers we’ll be giving away (pledges are not required for entry in the drawing).

This year is a particularly significant year to pledge support for WFIU. It was in April of 1971, 45 years ago, that NPR executive Bill Siemering first proposed the program “All Things Considered” (it went on the air on about 90 public radio stations, including WFIU, on May 3, 1971).

We’ll be offering special thank-you gifts, such as a vintage 1971 NPR tote bag, or a newly-minted All Things Considered coffee mug to take you back to the first days of that special program airing on WFIU.

WFIU has stayed on the air because the investments of dedicated listeners over the past 45 years. Help keep WFIU blossoming for years to come with your pledge of support.

Thank you!

Jazz NotesApril is Jazz Appreciation Month, culminating at the end of the month with International Jazz Day, hosted this year by President Obama at the White House.

On Saturday, April 23, the IU Jacobs School of Music jazz program will inaugurate a jazz educators hall of fame. David Brent Johnson will celebrate both of these events on the newly-expanded Just You and Me,

which now begins at 3 p.m. each weekday.This month on Afterglow tune in

Friday evening at 8 for programs about Kurt Elling (who’s performing in Bloomington), the pre-rock ’n’ roll music of Louis Jordan and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a sequel to “The Great French Songbook.”

Last Chapter for The Radio ReaderLast month we closed the book on one of the longest-running programs on WFIU. Dick Estell, better known as the “Radio Reader,” hung up the microphone after more than five decades of reading works of fiction and non-fiction on the air.

At the time of this writing, Dick was in his 90th year and in failing health. This led him to make what he called a “heart-breaking decision” to end the program.

The departure of The Radio Reader from our schedule left us an extra half-hour from Monday to Friday mornings at 11:30. We’ve filled that by extending Classical Music with George Walker to noon, and by extending Just You and Me to a two-hour program that now begins at 3 p.m.

April 3 – Gerould Kern

Gerould Kern recently retired as senior vice president and editor of the Chicago Tribune. During his tenure he expanded local investigative reporting to expose political corruption, government mismanagement, and consumer safety issues—an emphasis that helped drive political reform in Illinois. His other accomplishments include creating a digital-first newsroom, leading the Tribune to a Pulitzer Prize, and steering the company through a four-year Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. He also directed the launch of a redesigned and expanded Tribune, adding 44 full news pages of news to the paper each week, and oversaw the redesign of the newspaper’s website. Perry Metz hosts.

April 10 – Bill Siemering

Bill Siemering has been a key innovator in the development of public radio. His early productions at small radio stations became the model in 1970 for the creation of National Public Radio, for which he wrote the initial statement of purpose and for whom he was its first director of programming. Under his leadership, All Things Considered was developed and Fresh Air with Terry Gross was transformed from a local to a national audience. For ten years he was a senior radio adviser for the Open Society Institute, which funds civil society initiatives in more than fifty countries. Adam Ragusea hosts.

April 17 – In Memory of Five Friends

On the evening of April 20, 2006, five Indiana University School of Music graduate students died in a plane crash as they returned from a rehearsal in Lafayette, Indiana. Chris Carducci, Garth Eppley, Georgina Joshi, Zachary Novak, and Robert Samels were accomplished musical performers with brilliant careers ahead of them when their lives were cut short. On the tenth anniversary of this tragic event, WFIU remembers the lives of these remarkable young people with a memorial program featuring recordings they made during their time at IU.

April 24 – Michael Barone

J. Michael Barone has been involved with the pipe organ for more than 50 years. As host and senior executive producer of Pipedreams, he is recognized nationally for his contributions to the world of organ music. He formerly served as host for broadcasts of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and for 25 years he served as classical music director for Minnesota Public Radio. Barone was a consultant to pipe organ installations at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and has served as a program consultant to the organ series at the Kimmel Center. He is an inductee of the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame. Charles Webb hosts.

DONIZETTI—Roberto DevereuxSoprano Sondra Radvanovsky takes on the extraordinary challenge of singing all three of Donizetti’s Tudor queen operas in the course of a single season, a rare feat made famous by Beverly Sills—and not attempted on a New York stage since. In this climactic opera of the trilogy, she plays Queen Elizabeth I, forced to sign the death warrant of the nobleman she loves, Roberto Devereux. Tenor Matthew Polenzani is Devereux, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien complete the principal quartet in the bel canto masterpiece, conducted by Donizetti specialist Maurizio Benini.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESFolktale of RevengeHomer claimed that revenge “is sweeter far than flowing honey.” On this edition of Folktales, Julia Meek walks the path of retaliation to test that hypothesis. With music and wise words from the Americas, Europe, Africa and the South Pacific, she invites you to listen and decide for yourself.

CitiesThere’s no scientific metric for measuring a city’s personality. But step out on the sidewalk, and you can see and feel it. This hour, we talk to two physicists who explain one tidy mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city. Yet math can’t explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. So we head out in search of what the numbers miss, and meet a reluctant city dweller, a man who’s walked 700 feet below Manhattan, and a once-thriving community that’s slipping away.

K-pop + Gary HartFirst, we peer back at the moment when poking into the private lives of political figures became standard practice in the American media. Then, we travel to South Korea where first-ever paparazzi photos turned the world of K-pop upside down and introduced sort of a puzzle: How much do you really want to know about the people you idolize?

Jackie RobinsonMonday and Tuesday April 11-12 at 9 p.m.

Jackie Robinson is a new two-part, four-hour Ken Burns documentary that chronicles Robinson’s life and times, breaking of baseball’s color barrier, and lifelong fight for equality on and off the field.

The film includes interviews with President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Harry Belafonte, Tom Brokaw, and others, who reflect on Robinson’s legacy.

Born to tenant farmers in rural Georgia, Robinson challenged institutional racism even as a teenager, when he demanded service at a lunch counter and refused to sit in the

segregated balcony of a movie theater. In the spring of 1947, Brooklyn

Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey signed Robinson to a major league contract. To help ensure the success of their endeavor, Robinson agreed to ignore the threats and abuse that Rickey assured him he would face.

Robinson kept his word, remaining silent while he dazzled fans with his

brilliant play and helped lead the Dodgers to the National League pennant. By the end of the year, he was the most famous black man in the country and second only to Bing Crosby as the most popular American.

In 1949, Robinson started to speak out—to players, umpires, and the press—while playing some of the best baseball of his career. His outspokenness drew criticism from the league, the press, and even from black fans and players. After baseball, Robinson continued to use his fame to elevate the civil rights movement.

Jackie Robinson is also a warm portrait of a devoted husband and father, featuring extensive interviews with Robinson’s widow, Rachel, and their surviving children Sharon and David.
