The CANDLES museum in Terre Haute celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.Founded by Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor, CANDLES, or Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors, “strives to be a premier institution seeking progress in the creation of a world free from prejudice, hatred, and genocide.” Kor and her twin sister, Miriam Zeiger, endured medical experiments by Dr. Joseph Mengele, the infamous “Angel of Death, as children at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944. Their parents and older sister died there."Within 30 minutes, my whole family was ripped apart and all died, except for Miriam and me, who were used as human guinea pigs by Dr. Mengele," Kor said in 2017.Read more: Eva Kor's storyKor went on to champion forgiveness for those who carried out the Holocaust atrocities. And beginning in the 1970s, she began dedicating her life to educating people about the Holocaust and sharing survivor stories. And in 1995, she founded the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center.For more than two decades, she lectured about her experiences and guided tours at the museum. She returned to Auschwitz on numerous occasions, leading groups that could share what they had learned with their students and future generations. CANDLES continues these trips to Auschwitz each year in honor of Kor, who died in July 2019 during atrip to Poland for the museum.Read more: Holocaust Survivor, CANDLES Founder Eva Kor Dies At 85Kor's husband, Rachmiel “Mickey” Kor, was also a Holocaust survivor, spending four years in Nazi labor camps, including Buchenwald.

As a tribute to Jenny Kander, we're reaching back to 2007 for an episode of Jenny reading her own work. She read "Dream," "Great Aunt," "Eve of Grown Daughter's Birthday," "Ice Late February," "Tattoo," and "Dream On."Jenny Kander move from South Africa to Bloomington, Indiana in 1992. She began writing poetry later in life and became a prominent member of the local poetry scene. Of her many contributions, Jenny created two radio programs, one of which is the Poets Weave, which she began at WFIU in 1999. Her poetry has appeared in Flying Island, California Quarterly, Bathtub Gin, Wind, Southern Indiana Review, and Shiver. She published two chapbooks: Taboo and The Altering Air. Jenny passed away on October 8, 2024 at the age of 91.In her memory, we're reaching back to 2007 for an episode of Jenny reading her own work.

My mission here at WFIU is to cover local arts and culture in Southern Indiana. The thing is, when you're worried about the health of democracy in your country, local arts coverage can feel like too little too late. I believe you can't have a healthy democracy without lively and thoughtful arts and culture. But still, sometimes you want to face things a little more head-on. So I decided to invite my friend Faye Gleisser for an interview. She's a professor in the art history department here at Indiana University. I realize, on the face of it, that that might feel even more removed from the state of contemporary democracy. When I think “art history,” I picture students listening to a lecture about the slant of light in paintings of religious epiphanies. Good stuff, but different from protesting injustice in the streets.Faye Gleisser is not that kind of art historian. (She actually feels complicated about calling herself an art historian at all.) Her book is called Risk Work: Making Art and Guerilla Tactics in Punitive America, 1967-1987. It came out in 2023, and it's about how, in the 1960s, artists started using new tactics in response to changes in…policing. It's about policing and art. We talk about the relationships between those two things, and about an article she wrote about artists at risk in Indiana. And I ask her whether art can resist fascism. She get into her art historian chair and gave me some really helpful insights.CreditsInner States is produced and edited by me, Alex Chambers.

This episode was originally released on November 17, 2023.Marabai Rose was 38 in 2014. She was married, with two young children, she was healthy, and had a job she liked. Then a mysterious illness came over her. She was overwhelmingly fatigued. Soon, her legs could barely carry her through the house. And then, one day, a paralysis came over her. She could feel her breath getting more and more shallow. As she recovered, her attendants celebrated it as something close to a miracle. But she wasn't really better, and doctors started to dismiss her claims – in ways that resonate with a long history of women's health issues being dismissed.

Postcard Kara and Andy thought they'd be able to find community in Chicago, the big city, and they went there partly for its diversity: they wanted to be in a place that was less white. But it was so expensive to live there, it meant they had to work a lot, and it seemed like everyone around them was stressed, so they decided to leave, and go to the small town in southern Indiana where Kara grew up: Paoli. Population 3,666. It's a whole lot cheaper to live there, which means they don't have to spend all their time working for other people. They bought an old factory building that used to make tomato products and now they live in it. Kara teaches yoga there. Andy makes bagels that he sells on Saturdays. They host lecture series there. They've been instrumental in putting on a festival for the town. They've been busy, in other words. This is a story about making community in a small town. It's also a postcard from Paoli, a photo taken from one angle, with a fairly narrow lens. Which means there are at least twelve other ways of looking at Paoli, Indiana. Poetry After the postcard from Paoli, we have a short (but great) poem. It's actually selections from a poem: Michael Luis Dauro, reading from his poem The Woman With No Name, originally featured on WFIU's Poets Weave.

Freda Love Smith is a quitter. She's been a lot of things in her life so far—a drummer in a number of acclaimed indie rock bands including the Blake Babies and the Mysteries of Life, an author of two memoirs, and a parent of two children. In January 2021, as the pandemic raged on and violence erupted at the U.S. Capitol, Smith started a series of what she calls quitting experiments—temporarily giving up everything she used in a habitual, to-get-by way…first alcohol, then sugar, followed by cannabis, caffeine, and social media. Then she kept quitting, beyond even what she expected: she quit her job and her musical career as a drummer. She also started something, and finished it—a book about her experiments called I Quit Everything: How One Woman's Addiction to Quitting Helped Her Confront Bad Habits and Embrace Midlife. This week on Inner States, WFIU's David Brent Johnson, in conversation with Freda Love Smith.

WFIU has a new podcast out, developed with NPR's Storylab. Rush to Kill is about what happened at the United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute from July 2020 to January 2021. Those were the final months of the Trump presidency, when his administration decided not only to resume executions, but to get through as many as possible. The show examines the legal arguments that made that possible, and specific cases of some of the inmates who were executed. In conjunction with the show's release, I wanted to go back to a classic Inner States episode. Jack was a grad student in music at IU when he met a man named Seigen at the local Zen center. Seigen was decades older, but in spite of the age gap, they became good friends. They took lots of walks. “This is a sassafras,” Seigen would say. They would look at that for a while. Once they'd seen one sassafras, it wasn't as if they'd seen them all. They stopped to look at every tree. Then, one day, Seigen asked Jack to drive him to an execution. The man being executed was Wesley Purkey, for whom Seigen was a spiritual advisor. Purkey was the second person to be killed in the Trump administration's "rush to kill." This is mainly about Jack and Seigen's friendship. It's also, in part, about a secondhand experience of a federal execution. There's nothing graphic, but if that's something you or someone you're listening with might be sensitive to, you might keep the topic in mind. Credits Inner States is produced and edited by me, Alex Chambers, with Violet Baron, Jillian Blackburn, and Avi Forrest. Our theme song is from Amy Oelsner and Justin Vollmar.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (commonly known as The Wizard of Oz”), is the first book in the famous Oz fourteen book series by author L. Frank Baum. It was originally illustrated by W. W. Denslow, and published at the turn of the 20th century in the year 1900. It is also widely considered to be one of the very first official American fairytales or fables. WFIU Public Radio partnered with Starrynight Productions and Soundbooth Theater on a new four-part audio adaptation of L. Frank Baum's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Writer/director Russell McGee (of Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio plays) and producer/actor Michael Brainard (of All My Children) collaborated with Soundbooth's Jeff Hays to produce this full-cast audio play series.

An Indiana author writes a novel set in Indiana, and it wins a National Book Award. WFIU's Violet Baron talks with Tess Gunty about why it was important to set her novel in her home state. Then, Austin Davis brings us poems about people living without housing, from WFIU's Poets Weave. And in Chapter 3 of The Third Time Rita Left, Kayte and Carl get invited to exhume a dead cat, and in the midst of everyone leaving work to look for Rita, we ask what work is really for, anyway.

The Funny Times is a newspaper full of comics. It's about forty years old, and it's all in print. The newspaper is in print, but until about a year ago, so were all their files. They lived in one well-protected filing cabinet. So when it was time to pass the reins to a new generation, who lived in Bloomington, Indiana, rather than Cleveland, one of the co-founders suggested they print out the cartoons that came in by email and send them by overnight courier to Bloomington. Luckily, the new editor came up with an innovation: a “digital” filing cabinet. This week, the Funny Times' new publishers and editor talk about why the paper continues to thrive as so many newspapers fold, the kind of comfort you can get from political cartoons, and more.  Then, a story that started in the fall of 2016. My friend and colleague, Kayte Young, host of WFIU's Earth Eats, was taking her cat Rita to the vet, and Rita escaped. What followed, in the months Kayte and her husband and friends and community spent searching, had more twists and turns than I could have imagined. So many, that, as I put the story together, it turned into a four-chapter saga. This week, The Third Time Rita Left Chapter 1: Losing Rita, in which Kayte decides, in the midst of an emergency, to foster a monarch chrysalis.

Prominent South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh was recently found guilty of the murders of his wife and son—but despite the severity of the crimes, the prosecution declined to pursue the death penalty in his case.In this episode, Emma speaks with journalist George Hale about his experience covering the most recent federal executions in Terre Haute, Indiana for an intimate look at the execution process. She also sits down with DU law professor Sam Kamin to examine the history of the death penalty and the racial and class disparities in how it is handed out.Show Notes:George Hale is a radio reporter at WFIU, the NPR member station covering federal death row. He was part of a team of public media journalists who covered 13 executions at a federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, in the final six months of then-President Donald Trump's administration. Their reporting earned several awards including a regional Murrow. Hale is also the host and lead reporter of “Rush To Kill,” an investigative podcast about the federal death penalty, coming this spring. Sam Kamin joined the faculty at the Sturm College of Law in 1999. Professor Kamin's research interests include criminal procedure, death penalty jurisprudence, federal courts, and constitutional remedies.

Every collaboration has a backstory. Ours goes back nearly 30 years, when Chris (the older one, jazz musician, former line-cook and nightclub bouncer, some tattoos) and Tom (the slightly younger one, classical musician, serial migrant, no tattoos) worked together at WFIU, Indiana University Public Radio. Both of us were in grad school at Indiana at the time, Chris in jazz and musicology and Tom in music performance. In radio those were the old days. We worked with reel-to-reel tape and rudimentary hard-wired networks on the studio computers, pulling shifts late nights and early mornings for a listening audience scattered through the southern Indiana hills. And then we went our separate ways: Chris to start his academic career in Texas, Tom to Germany to work as a musician before returning to the US for a PhD in musicology at Cornell. Fast forward fifteen years: we are both in academia, two American scholars on divergent paths. Chris is at Texas Tech building a Vernacular Music Center and much else besides. Tom has landed in Southampton in the UK, beginning to move from pretty old-fashioned art music (ask him about Mozart and he'll tell you a lot of things you didn't know people even knew) to global music history. Fast forward another ten years to the summer of 2018. Chris has just finished the second of two books about American vernaculars, and Tom is wrapping up a book about European experiences of Chinese music around 1800 and starting a new project about jazz and AI. Over the years we'd seen each other at conferences in strange airless hotels. You could count on us (the big guy with the tattoos and the bookish Mozart scholar living as a migrant in Britain) to regale anyone who would listen with stories about small-town radio in the good old days, where you knew your audience because some of them would call you on the control room phone just to talk, and the reel-to-reel machines sometimes did terrible things to you on air.And, curiously enough, we realize that our paths are beginning to align: Chris is working on “history from below,” in music and dance soundscapes across the Americas, and Tom is working in material and social history using soundscapes of global imperial encounter and modern technology.Chris has an idea. Why don't we two surprise people (because despite our shared history, from the outside we seem an unlikely duo in academia, where everyone is trapped in narrow specialties) and do a thing. We're both all-in on global history and empire, on music and what it means in the world. We feel like we need to say something in times of environmental and political crisis. So...an essay collection? Maybe a symposium? You could feel our enthusiasm waning even as one of us suggested these. As energizing as it can be to spend time in a room full of really cool colleagues, neither of us wanted the thing to be that. Instead, after decades in academia, both of us were looking for something more immediate, the kind of experience we know from the classroom and yes, from the old days on the radio. We talk it over some, and agree to meet in England next time Chris is traveling in Europe. You'll have to listen to the episode to get the rest of the story. It didn't take long for us to settle on an ambitious project: a music history book for non-academic readers. And a podcast, a medium Tom and Chris, Old Radio Guys, were just beginning to discover. A few emails later we had found our producer, Tom's sister Tatiana Irvine, and her production company, Seedpod Sound. And here we are.Key PointsHow we came to be writing a book together nearly 30 years after first working at the same public radio station in small-town Indiana (or “How a global history of imperial encounter, across five centuries, was born in the studios of a small public radio station in southern Indiana, 30 years ago”)What it's like to come up with an ambitious joint project in a business that favors lone working (or “Getting our brains, and those of our colleagues and managers, around the idea of an international collaboration across time zones and disciplines--in the midst of a global pandemic.”)What excites us about podcasting as a medium: its immediacy and the possibility of two-way communication with the audience (or “How podcasting engages and unites us through shared personal and scholarly goals: radio skills, expertise in sound as both meaning and technology, a sense of history, and an urgent desire to contribute to global efforts to fight environmental destruction”)How we want to structure the podcast around three themes: labor, energy and data (or “Why ‘labor'; why ‘energy'; why ‘data'? What are the human, ecological, cultural, and historical stories that brought us to this moment?”)Why we want to tell bold new stories about voices most music historians miss (or “The untold stories, the silenced voices, the unseen or unrecognized encounters between people, places, eras, and experience--between labor, energy, and data--for which we seek to create new spaces for encounter and understanding.”)ResourcesTom Irvine's Listening to China: Sound and the Sino-Western Encounter, 1770-1839 is about the shifting responses of Western travellers, musicians, philosophers, and diplomats to China and its soundscapes around 1800, and how these responses shaped their sense of what it meant to be “Western.”Dreams of Germany: Musical Imaginaries from the Concert Hall to the Dance Floor, edited by Tom Irvine and the Southampton historian Neil Gregor, explores how Germans reacted in music to the most significant developments of the twentieth century, including technological advances, fascism, and war on an unprecedented scale, and how the world responded to German music in return. The introduction and Tom's chapter on how ideas of “Germanness” shaped the British composer Hubert Parry's heavily racialized approach to music history are available for free on the Berghan Books website.Chris Smith's The Creolization of American Culture: William Sydney Mount and the Roots of Blackface Minstrelsy uses the artworks of painter and musician William Sidney Mount (born in Setauket, Long Island in 1807) as a lens through which to recover the earliest roots of the Black-white cultural exchange that gave birth to the street musics that were the roots of the “Creole Synthesis” of African and Anglo-Celtic sound and movement that lies at the heart of American music.Chris Smith's Dancing Revolution: Bodies, Space, and Sound in American Cultural History is a study of 400 years of movement and noise--street dance and "rough music"--as tools by which minoritized peoples, across many moments in the history of the Americas, have sought to create freedom “from below.”All of the books mentioned in the episode can be found in our Sounding History Goodreads discussion group.

In the summer of 2019, a very public fight unfurled in Bloomington, Indiana — over accusations that Sarah Dye and Douglas Mackey, who sold produce at the city-run farmers' market, were members of an organization classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League as a white nationalist hate group (an association that would soon be confirmed). Abby Ang, a graduate student at Indiana University in Bloomington who had also become a community organizer, took a lead role in publicizing this connection and pressuring the city to remove Sarah and Doug's farm from their market. But when the city refused to do anything of the sort, Abby found herself in a fast-moving conflict that came to include the full spectrum of American politics: liberal elites, progressive organizers, antifascist activists, right-wing militias, farmers, customers, police, Black Lives Matter leaders… and of course, White nationalists (or in this particular case, as they preferred to be identified, White Identitarians). In a matter of weeks, the story hit mainstream national news, the farmers' market became a political battleground, and an Asian American professor was arrested by Bloomington Police — showing what it really looks like to wield White power in America.
