Mayor Sue Murray reflectsOn a special edition of Ask the Mayor, Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray spoke with reporter Joe Hren about completing her second and final term as mayor. She told him she feels “bittersweet” after her three-decade involvement with city government, but feels “the city is in a good place.”

“There have been moments filled with angst along the way,” she said. “And there have been times filled with great celebration.”

Mayor Murray called her Ask the Mayor appearances over the years a “privilege” for her—and for the people of Greencastle.

“It’s something that has made them proud,” she added, “because it doesn’t happen often times that we have a chance to be seen on the same stage with some of the larger community players, and that’s a very prideful thing for my folks.”

Ask the Mayor airs every Wednesday during Morning Edition and All Things Considered with mayors from Greencastle, Terre Haute, Bloomington, and Kokomo.

Sarah Neal-Estes joins news bureauThe Indiana Public Media news bureau is offering more comprehensive news coverage with the creation of a new position of managing editor for statewide news.

The new statewide managing editor is Sarah Neal-Estes, who comes to us from the IU School of Journalism. She was on the faculty there for nearly a decade and launched the audio journalism program.

Prior to coming to IU, Neal-Estes worked as a radio reporter, producer, and newscaster with KUAC-FM Fairbanks, Alaska, and has experience working with a news network and reporters in remote locations.

In her new position, Sarah will manage a team of six statewide field journalists in the production of news content for broadcast and online distribution.

She will also develop heightened editorial collaboration between ten Indiana Public Broadcasting’s partner stations for the coverage of issues in Indiana.

The partner stations in Indiana are public broadcasters that are expanding their news service to statewide coverage areas, including government and politics, business and economics, energy and environmental issues, health and science, and education.

Jazz NotesThe presents have been opened, the pounds have been put on, and the holidays are over—now it’s time to make those resolutions, start those new routines, and set out on the course of a new year! One habit that we think you’ll always find rewarding is tuning into WFIU’s jazz programs.

In addition to the ongoing mix of great past and present jazz that Just You and Me offers you every weekday afternoon, we’ll be celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 18 with a show of jazz tributes by Bobby Hutcherson, Dizzy Gillespie, Nina Simone, and other artists. And whatever you do, don’t miss William Morris’ Friday-afternoon “Soul Kitchen” editions of Just You and Me, where the music’s always simmering and the air is full of good sounds.

Here’s what’s in store for WFIU listeners on Friday evenings this January: Afterglow host Mark Chilla serves up shows about the just-departed jazz vocal great Mark Murphy, as well as the lesser-known but highly talented Beverly Kenney. Look for programs devoted to the songs of Oscar Hammerstein II and the subject of youth as well.

Night Lights’ David Brent Johnson rings in the New Year with “Hipsters, Flipsters, and On-the-Scenesters,” paying tribute to various characters of the 20th-century jazz scene, and chats with veteran jazz pianist Hod O’Brien. Programs devoted to Duke Ellington’s early black-pride music and the compositions of Benny Golson are on the calendar as well.

Get your year started right with WFIU!

Host Julia Meek chases a tempestuous weather pattern: teases, breezes, gusts, and gales across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and beyond—as they made their way into favorite folk and world music traditions.

BlissThis hour we search for platonic ideals longing for completion—epic quests for holy grails in science, linguistics, and world peace.

Ildar Abdrazakov is King Henry VIII, Jamie Barton is Jane Seymour, the king’s consort, and Stephen Costello plays the queen’s love interest in Sir David McVicar’s gripping period production. Marco Armiliato conducts.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESCover Songs From a recent music lover’s blogsite, this observation: “Covers are awesome; they can allow a good song a new life.” Julia Meek agrees, and this week on Folktales, she spans the globe, tracking a variety of genres and styles that have all found new life through the finest of folkworlds.

Beyond TimeThis hour, hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich go to the frontlines with men and women who are battling against time—or at least the common sense view of time. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity may have implications on the concept of choice. Namely, that there is none. Do we choose what movie to see tonight? No. (It’s already been chosen, some say.) Do we choose to wiggle our finger? No. (Already wiggled.)

BIZET—Les Pêcheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishers)Bizet’s gorgeous opera of lust and longing set in the Far East returns to the Met stage for the first time in 100 years. Soprano Diana Damrau stars as Leïla, the beautiful Hindu priestess pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her hand. Her suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who sing the lilting duet “Au fond du temple saint,” which opera fans know and adore. Director Penny Woolcock explores the timeless themes of pure love, betrayal, and vengeance in a production that vividly creates an undersea world. Conductor Gianandrea Noseda brings his romantic flair to the lush score from the composer of Carmen.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESCommunicationAccording to Chip Heath, “The first problem of communication is getting people’s attention.” If we may have yours, this episode of Folktales transmits a sampling from a world of good music for, from, and about social media—ancient to modern—with a sprinkling of wise words and sayings on the subject. It’s a direct dial to a transcontinental array of music and thoughts. Be sure to make the connection.

A Tribute to Mark MurphySinger Mark Murphy (1932–2015) had one of the most iconic voices from the 1970s jazz scene. Mark Chilla looks back at his career, featuring some of his most beloved songs, such as “Stolen Moments” and “Red Clay.”

9:00 PM NIGHT LIGHTSThe Benny Golson SongbookTenor saxophonist Benny Golson penned some of the most notable compositions of the modern jazz era, including “Whisper Not,” “Along Came Betty,” and “I Remember Clifford.” David Brent Johnson features performances of those pieces and more by Lee Morgan, Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Dizzy Gillespie’s big band, and the Jazztet.


WAGNER—TannhäuserJames Levine conducts Wagner’s early masterpiece in its first return to the Met stage in more than a decade. Today’s leading Wagnerian tenor, Johan Botha, takes on the daunting title role of the young knight caught between true love and passion. Eva-Maria Westbroek is Elisabeth, adding another Wagner heroine to her Met repertoire after her acclaimed Sieglinde in the Ring a few seasons ago. On the heels of his recent triumph in Parsifal, Peter Mattei sings Wolfram, and Michelle DeYoung is the love goddess, Venus.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESShadowsAuthor Neil Gaiman observes that “Everything that is, casts a shadow.” This week, Julia Meek takes a global tour between dark and light—from pitch-dark to penumbra, with grey areas at every turn. Does the brightest flame casts the darkest shadow? Hear for yourself.


Birth StoryYou know the drill—all it takes is one sperm, one egg, and blammo—you got yourself a baby. Right? Well, in this episode, conception takes on a new form—it’s the sperm and the egg, plus: two wombs, four countries, and a lot of money.

10:00 PM RELEVANT TONES WITH SETH BOUSTEADGoing SoloThere is perhaps no more intimate connection in music than when a composer writes a solo piece specifically for a gifted performer, crafting the piece for the player's specific strengths and musical tastes. Seth Boustead talks with several performers about

solos that have been written for them and presents performances of the pieces recorded live in the studio.

Beverly Kenney: Born to be BlueHost Mark Chilla highlights the tragically short career of underrated singer Beverly Kenney. Her seductive, melancholic, and breathy style was aligned with the cool jazz sensibilities of the late 1950s.

9:00 PM NIGHT LIGHTSLater: Bobby Hutcherson in the mid-1970sVibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson was already a Blue Note veteran when he made a string of mid-1970s hardbop albums for the label, drawing on a strong working group that included trumpeters Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist Harold Land and Manny Boyd, and pianist George Cables. Although Blue Note’s glory days were already past when these records were made, they reflect the intensity of the label’s best work.


PUCCINI—TurandotNina Stemme takes on the title role of the proud princess of ancient China, whose riddles doom every suitor who seeks her hand, opposite Marco Berti as Calàf, the brave prince who sings “Nessun dorma” and wins her love. Anita Hartig and Leah Crocetto share the role of Liù, the faithful slave girl. Franco Zeffirelli’s production is conducted by Paolo Carignani.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESRelationshipsAre relationships an art or a science? Carl Jung maintained that “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” That’s the hypothesis Julia Meek ponders in every corner of the musical folkworld, as she explores the ins and outs of relationships—be they romantic, familial, friend or foe.


ThingsFrom a piece of the Wright brother’s plane to a child’s sugar egg, today we look at things. Important things, little things, personal things. Things you can hold and things that can take hold of you. We investigate the objects around us, their power to move us, and whether it’s better to look back or move on, hold on tight or just let go.

This month on WTIU television

Downton Abbey – Season 6Sundays at 9 p.m. starting January 3

The top-rated PBS drama of all time approaches its climactic chapter as Downton Abbey enters its sixth and final season, bringing exciting closure to a remarkable series. Where will fate, passion, ambition, and duty lead television’s most beloved characters? The final season of Downton Abbey airs in nine enthralling episodes with the series finale airing Sunday, March 6.

Season 6 opens in 1925 with a series of crises reflecting the momentous changes that are transforming society. Women's rights have given Lady Mary and Lady Edith new positions of responsibility: Mary runs the estate, and Edith manages the magazine she inherited from Michael Gregson.

Meanwhile, Tom Branson has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Anna Bates faces a murder charge, though many still suspect her husband. And for the rest of the servants, big doubts hang over their jobs. Will great houses and the fortunes that support them soon be gone?

Making their bittersweet farewell are members of the beloved cast, including Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, and Elizabeth McGovern, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt, Penelope Wilton, Phyllis Logan, Laura Carmichael, Brendan Coyle, Lesley Nicol, and Sophie McShera.

Count down the moments till the final season begins with Countdown to Downton Abbey on Sunday, January 3 at 8 p.m., which features interviews with the cast and filmmakers.

Continue the excitement with Downton Abbey: A Celebration at 10:15 p.m. Savor favorite moments from past episodes, glean hints of what’s to come, and enjoy behind-the-scenes interviews with cast and producers.

Even One Percent Matters Would you like to extend your support of WFIU past your lifetime so the community can continue to enjoy the rich music, news, and talk programs that you value on your radio?

You may think you don’t have enough money to donate to make a difference, but that simply isn’t true. Your gift, no matter the size, can ensure a future for WFIU and influence the lives of those who rely on it.

Giving through your insurance policy or retirement plan assets won’t affect your current income. You can include WFIU as partial beneficiary—by dividing up your assets in percentages. Simply contact your insurance company to ask how you can change beneficiaries in your life insurance policy. In the case of retirement plan assets, ask your retirement plan administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form.

By putting aside a percentage of your assets—from 1 to 100 percent—you can leave a legacy with WFIU, while making sure you and your family have security they may need in the future.

Watch out! If your children or nieces and nephews are the beneficiaries of your IRAs and other retirement plan assets, federal income taxes may erode the amount they receive. It is often best to save these assets for charitable giving.

If you give annually and want to extend your support for our work, these are smart ways to leave a lasting legacy without affecting your income, and they still allow you the flexibility to change your mind in case your circumstances—or the economy—changes.

For more information on how to support WFIU into the future, contact Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or [email protected].
