On Monday, June 2nd, Bloomington all-star band King Bee and the Stingers brought the house down on Local Live—nearly blowing the roof off! Their set was razor-sharp, brimming with energy, and a masterclass in musicianship. Don’t miss this electrifying session and conversation.

Up next, from WFHB’s Youth Radio, we have the most recent episode of Showrats with host Ollie Schnell. In this episode of ShowRats, Ollie is joined by Casey Dienel, a producer, singer, and songwriter from Massachusetts. Casey began writing their own songs as a teenager influenced by artists like Stevie Wonder and Joni Mitchell. They have released music under their own name and as White Hinterland. Casey advises aspiring musicians to remember that music is something we play, so embrace mistakes and have fun with the process.

This week’s archive segment comes from an episode of Interchange broadcast May 4, 1999. In it, host Darryl Neher talks with IU English Professor Stephen Watt and graduate student Sarah Stevens about the relationships between economics and academics. This episode was digitized from a cassette stored in the WFHB archives by Volunteer Adriane Pontecorvo.
