The Wire
Sundays at 4 p.m.

This eight-part series produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation concludes this month with these four episodes.

Episode 5: The Sound Around
Sunday, March 5, 4 p.m.

Electricity's done a lot of great things for music, but there have also been a few side effects. For better or worse, wherever you go today, music is playing-at a restaurant, in a store, at the mall, when you're on hold on the phone. Are we suffering from musical overload? How did music come to be so ubiquitous? And what's the difference between ambient music and aural wallpaper, relaxation and irritation?

Episode 6: Welcome to the Machine
Sunday, March 12, 4 p.m.

We depend on machines that use electricity-from our cars to our cell phones to our computers to the overhead light. It's no surprise that more machines are making our music. The influence of machines can be subtle or obvious, as heard in the dizzying array of sub-genres collectively known as electronic music. Among these is the paradoxically human-machine, techno-organic, cool-sexy, booty-shaking beat-world of electronic dance music.

Episode 7: The Wheels of Steel
Sunday, March 19, 4 p.m.

A century of tinkering with speeds, mechanisms and materials changed the gramophone incrementally into the turntable. But over the last fifty years-from the early experiments of composer John Cage to the scratching innovations of today's superstar DJs-the turntable has become the nexus for whole new ways of thinking about music. The turntable is explained by the "turntablists": musicians who play a turntable like a pianist plays a piano.

Episode 8: The Digital Democracy of Sound
Sunday, March 26, 4 p.m.

Digital technology has changed how we find, how we make, and how we listen to music. Sometimes it's easier to get a hold of your favorite track than it is to get a good cup of coffee. Sounds are sampled, mixed, and shared on a scale that eclipses our wildest dreams from even a decade ago. This state of affairs has created wonderful and terrible consequences, opening the door to pirates but also to a new world of music-the fourth world, where anything is possible.

Intelligent Designs on Evolution
Sunday, March 5, 8 p.m.

Gallup polls show that nearly half of Americans believe the biblical version of creation-that God created humankind 10,000 years ago. Another third believe man evolved, but God had a hand in it, while only a third of the American public believe Darwin's theory of evolution is supported by evidence. Yet nearly all scientists and teachers do believe in the evolutionary process. So when it comes to how we teach this topic in public schools, the controversy gets heated.
Most recently, the debate has included a concept called intelligent design (ID), which argues that certain aspects of the natural world are so complex they must have been the work of a designer. During the last year alone, elected officials in almost twenty states have raised questions over how to teach evolution in their schools.
In this American RadioWorks documentary, producer Mary Beth Kirchner explores how intelligent design is challenging evolutionary theory.
She travels to Dover, Pennsylvania, where a parent sued the school board for teaching ID in her daughter's school, which resulted in a legal precedent that could become influential as school boards across the country are debating the introduction of ID in their biology classes.
The program includes interviews with biologist Michael Behe, author of one of the first books to bring some scientific heft to the intelligent design movement; Stephen Meyer, director of the pro-ID Discovery Institute; and evolution advocate Eugenie Scott. Also heard is actor Ed Asner, who is appearing in a touring production of Inherit the Wind.

No Place for a Woman
Sunday, March 12, 8 p.m.

The work was hard and dirty. Men told them to go home. But they needed the money, and they were too proud to quit. In the 1970s and '80s, as women around the country began taking jobs once reserved for men, a few women started driving trucks and digging iron ore in northern Minnesota's enormous pit mines. The good pay gave them new independence. They bought trailer homes, left bad marriages, got off welfare. But some of the men working at the mines tried to drive them out. Women were harassed, threatened, and even assaulted. They didn't know the abuse was illegal; no one talked about sexual harassment back then. But new federal laws gave the women a way to fight back. A group of women at Eveleth Mines filed the first class action sexual harassment lawsuit in the country. Their story is the basis for the movie North Country starring Charlize Theron and Woody Harrelson.
This new documentary from American RadioWorks tells the dramatic, moving story of the women who fought to prove themselves at the mines, and the women who still work there. Through dozens of interviews with men and women who worked in the pits and processed the ore, the documentary brings to life a moment in time when the workplace changed forever.

They Made America
Sunday, March 12, 9 p.m.

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.
Renowned 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 Jack Welch, renowned business leader and former chairman and chief executive officer of General Electric, Ted Turner, and commentary from Ken Auletta, author and writer for The New Yorker.

Finding Home: Fifty Years of International Adoption
Sunday, March 19, 8 p.m.

International adoption has tripled in the past decade, with more than 20,000 children joining American families each year. Most come from poor and troubled parts of the world, and a life in America offers new hope.
The flow of children began 50 years ago, with Korean war orphans. Their experiences have helped shape the way families approach international adoption today, fueling a new effort to help children connect with their birth culture.
This documentary examines the success of international adoption and the challenges faced by some parents in bringing up a child in a new land.
It also discusses a new risk for families adopting from abroad: unscrupulous operators using the Internet to prey on parents longing for a child. The past few years have seen an explosion in adoption groups and companies competing for clients. Many companies are honest, but when they're not, it's hard to stop them from preying on families eager to adopt.
Segments include the story of PJ Whiskeyman, whose effort to bring home two orphaned girls ended in heartbreak and a trip with a family to Guatemala to visit a child's biological mother.
Join us as we explore the pull of adoption across lives and borders.

The Psychology of Consumerism
Sunday, March 19 and 26, 9 p.m.

The World Values Survey produced a recent report showing that Nigeria has the highest percentage of happy people, with Romania and other Eastern European countries having the fewest. The survey suggests the truth of the old adage that money cannot buy happiness and that the desire for material goods is, in fact, a "happiness suppressant."
This two-part series from The Changing World tests that idea, looking at four diverse societies to investigate their respective approaches to consumerism, what spending practices say about the identity of their different populations, and how material gain relates to personal fulfillment and happiness.

Ruth Bell Graham: A Pilgrim Journey
Sunday, March 26, 8 p.m.

First Ladies count on her to get them through troubled times. Novelist Patricia Cornwell says she would never have become a writer without her. They're speaking of Ruth Bell Graham, the subject of this compelling special narrated by Walter Cronkite.
Ruth Bell Graham experienced the ravages of war in China in the 1920s, yet she became known for her fearlessness. In the 1950s she built a log cabin in a remote mountain cove, raised five children, and developed a profound inner life as a poet. She was perhaps the most unlikely candidate for the role she would be best known for, the wife of the Reverend Billy Graham.
This program features interviews with the Graham family, dramatic performances, and original music by Windham Hill artist Jeff Johnson and legendary hammered dulcimer musician Jerry Read Smith.

Artist of the Month: Susann McDonald
by Adam P. Schweigert

In March, WFIU is thrilled to feature the artistry of world-renowned harpist and IU faculty member Susann McDonald.
Professor McDonald studied at the Paris Conservatory, becoming the first American to receive the prestigious Premier Prix de Harpe. Since then, she has served on the faculties of the Julliard School, USC, University of Arizona, and California State University at Los Angeles. At IU, she is Distinguished Professor of Music and Chair of the Harp Department, while also serving as artistic director of the World Harp Congress and as honorary president of the Association Internationale des Harpistes in Paris, France. She is also a teacher, adjudicator, and the founder of the USA International Harp Competition.
Her many commercial recordings include much of the harp literature, and WFIU is pleased to be able to bring you several of these recordings this month.
On Sunday, March 5th, at 11:25 a.m., we begin with a work for solo harp, the Chanson dans la nuit [Song in the Night] of Carlos Salzedo. And on Thursday, March 9th, at 7:07 p.m., McDonald is joined by flutist Louise Di Tullio for the Sonata in F for Flute and Harp by Bohemian classical era composer Johan Baptist Krumpholtz.
The following week, join us on Wednesday, March 14th at 10:12 p.m. for the Suite for Solo Harp, Op.83 of Benjamin Britten. And to wrap up the month, McDonald performs two French works, again for solo harp. On Wednesday, March 22nd at 7:07 p.m., it's the Impromptu, Op. 86 of Gabriel Faure, and then on Monday, March 27th, also at 7:07 p.m., join us for music of Marcel Tournier, his Féerie (Prelude et Danse).

WFIU's Chad Bouchard and Trish Anderton moving to Indonesia

What do you do when you want to make your living as a freelance radio reporter, follow your curiosity, and tell stories from an underreported part of the world?
The answer for two members of WFIU's new staff-Assistant News Director Chad Bouchard and State House Reporter Trish Anderton-is to pack their recording gear, a few good books, some comfort food, and move to Indonesia.
The reporters left WFIU at the end of February to live in the capital city of Jakarta, where they plan to establish themselves as freelance journalists.
Both experienced travelers, the pair planned their move carefully. They spent months researching capital cities in Asia and found that Jakarta had "the most marketable stories, with the fewest reporters telling them," according to Bouchard.
"There are very important changes taking place there right now," he adds, "but we rarely hear about them. It's the biggest Islamic country in the world, but not many people here know about what's going on there."
The couple intends to address that situation while perhaps giving a boost to their careers.
Says Anderton, "I think the most important job of a foreign correspondent is to make other places seem real. So many stories we hear from overseas are about war and disasters: the grief-stricken woman, the angry man, the wailing infant. It's important to cover breaking news, but I'd like to do stories about ordinary Indonesians-artists and writers, businesspeople trying to succeed."
Indonesia is a new democracy, Bouchard points out. "Its government seems to be in a kind of adolescence after the fall of President Suharto in 1998."
The couple should have no shortage of stories to file. "They're fighting corruption, piracy, terrorism, and cultural and religious tensions," notes Bouchard of the Indonesians.
"It's the world's largest Muslim country," adds Anderton, "and its traditional moderation is being challenged by Islamic fundamentalists. And there are all kinds of environmental stories to do, from Jakarta's urban sprawl to the destruction of rainforests in Borneo."
The nearly 10,000 mile move is no pie-in-the-sky adventure for the couple. Although in their early 30s, both are experienced in living and traveling abroad.
Bouchard has traveled through some twenty countries, including hitchhiking through the Sahara desert at the beginning of Algeria's civil war. Anderton worked as a camp counselor in Russia and counts as one of her greatest travel experiences as "being in Prague just before their first post-Communist election."
The couple met at a public radio conference in Montreal in 2003. At the time, Anderton was a full-time reporter at New Hampshire Public Radio. The couple then began a long-distance relationship, and about a year later Anderton moved to Bloomington. Together, they have traveled to Iceland, China, and various states in the U.S.
This will be their first venture to Indonesia. "Even five months of research can't give you a very good picture of what it's like to live in a place," Bouchard said. "We have Plan B through Plan K in case Jakarta doesn't work out."
Bouchard figures that if he sells one or two stories to NPR each month, he could cover his monthly living expenses, which in Jakarta come out to about six hundred dollars.
"The whole idea," he says, "is finding a way to turn curiosity into a living."
Bouchard is sad to leave Bloomington but also finds the transition "freeing."
"This move has really forced me to face all the junk I've been carrying around in my life."
He's taking with him two carry-on bags mostly full of recording equipment and his laptop computer. The rest of his possessions he is donating, recycling, or selling.
Bouchard, who grew up in Bangor, Maine, will also bring some items strictly for comfort.
"Peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and Toms of Maine peppermint toothpaste. I can't predict what kinds of things I'll end up missing, but it's nice to have a few things from home on hand."
Getting around their new city shouldn't be too much of a problem, he expects, as English is commonly spoken there. And in a pinch, they can hire a translator.
Still, it helps to know the language. As Bouchard notes, speaking to people in their native tongue "goes a long way in demonstrating respect." To prepare, the couple has been teaching themselves the Indonesian language with the help of books, an Indonesian movie on DVD, sticky notes placed around their apartment, and conversations with a local IU student from the island of Sulawesi.
The two are facing their trip with the flexible attitude of seasoned travelers.
"A successful stay would mean we could survive by telling stories that are important," Bouchard says, "and help expand understanding of this amazing part of the world. But even total failure, even having to come home with nothing but disaster stories-that still looks pretty good to me."
Anderton is also traveling light. She is bringing just a few articles of clothing, planning to buy garments sold in her new country, which have the advantages of being inexpensive and suited to the local climate.
Like Bouchard, Anderton will bring her recording gear and her laptop, which functions as her traveling sound studio. She is bringing pictures of people and her life in the U.S. so people can get a sense of where she comes from.
"And my Norton poetry anthology, which I've had since high school. The Norton means home to me."

Jazz Highlights
by David Brent Johnson, jazz producer

March? It might as well be spring, even if we're not quite there yet. Whatever the weather, WFIU's jazz department hopes to keep the music both hot and cool for you with our daily fare of jazz programming. Longtime host of Just You & Me Joe Bourne is your steady companion every weekday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 with new releases and reissues, and jazz birthday celebrations for Barney Bigard, Ornette Coleman, and Paul Motian. (You didn't hear it from me, but one of WFIU's jazz announcers will celebrate a milestone birthday of his own this month.) New release features include Timelines, the return of pianist Andrew Hill to Blue Note, which also reunites him with fellow 1960s avant-hardbop trumpeter Charles Tolliver.
The Dutch Jazz Orchestra's Rediscovered Music of Mary Lou Williams is another CD you're likely to hear on either Just You and Me or on The Big Bands, Joe's Friday night program that airs at 9 p.m. The Dutch Jazz Orchestra is renowned for its performances and recordings of many composers' "secret works"; here they include some previously unknown Williams compositions, along with perennial favorites such as "Walkin' and Swingin'" and "What's Your Story, Morning Glory." The CD will be one of our features as we celebrate Women's History Month.
When it comes to historical women, few jazz artists loom larger than Marion McParland, who continues to host Piano Jazz, heard on WFIU every Friday evening at 8, just before The Big Bands. This month Marion's guests include singer Kitty Margolis and pianists Joanne Brackeen, Eldar Djangirov, and Jackie Terrasson. Marion will also do a special tribute program to her late husband, Chicago trumpet legend Jimmy McPartland, who would have turned 99 this month.
If Piano Jazz and The Big Bands haven't completely sated your appetite for jazz, stay with us on Friday nights for the jazz ballads and American popular song of Afterglow. This March we'll be featuring Dianne Reeves' soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated Good Night and Good Luck, live performances from Nat King Cole and pianist Red Garland, Lea DeLaria's Double Standards (jazz takes on late-20th-century pop-rock tunes) and the music of Dick and Kiz Harp, a pianist/singer husband and wife team who ran their own nightclub in late 1950s Dallas (Kiz was a Hoosier who hailed from South Bend).
Finally, our Saturday evening program Night Lights celebrates Women's History Month with a slate of shows devoted to female jazz artists, including pianist/organist Shirley Scott, jazz torch singer Jeri Southern, and Dinah Washington (her early 1960s Roulette recordings). In addition, "She Wrote the Song" will highlight the music of women songwriters such as Dorothy Fields, Betty Comden, Irene Kitchings, and others. Night Lights airs every Saturday at 11:05 p.m.; you can also listen to these shows and dozens of previous programs on the Night Lights website at nightlights.indiana.edu.
More music next month, when we can emphatically say, "Spring is here."

"The Divide"
by Nicholas Evans
Beginning Tuesday, February 28
Number of episodes: 29

This new novel by the author of "The Horse Whisperer" tells the story of a family fractured by betrayal and struggling in search of lost happiness.
One morning in Montana, two backcountry skiers find the body of a young woman embedded in the ice of a remote mountain creek. All through the night, police work with floodlights and chainsaws to extract her. Identifying the woman, however, takes no time at all. Abbie Cooper is wanted for murder and acts of eco-terrorism, and her picture is on law enforcement computers all across the country. But how did she die? And what was the trail of events that led this golden child of a loving family so tragically astray?
"The Divide" explores the pain we inflict on those we love the most. We are introduced to the Cooper family, who are visiting a beautiful Montana ranch for the fourth consecutive year. This visit would be their last-the vacation that would change their lives forever.
