On Saturday, April 18th, Youth Radio welcomed the band Daydream for a fund drive live session. The band is made up of high school students Madeleine, Samantha, and Olivia who play cover songs from a variety of genres.

Up next, in celebration of Earth Day, our archive segment today is a segment from our 2022 Climate Change in Indiana feature series titled “Mock Climate Change Debate.” In it, WFHB News volunteer Nathaniel Weinzapfel talks with climate scientist Ben Kravitz about myths and realities surrounding climate change phenomena.

The city announced that it does not intend to renew its license plate reader contract with Flock Safety, a company whose technology has been utilized by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Bloomington Police have also issued restrictions on how Flock data can be used, including bans tied to immigration or reproductive healthcare investigations. WFHB News speaks with Pat Wall, a member of the Bloomington Democratic Socialists of America, who has helped organize opposition to the city’s use of Flock. Wall, who co-hosts our punk show Radio Regazzo on WFHB, says that while the mayor’s announcement is a step in the right direction, the fight against Flock is not over yet. Pat says DSA organizers intend to pack the city council meeting tonight to demand the city do more to end its affiliation with mass surveillance.

Up next, WFHB DJ Cindy Beaule brought on Aubrey Seader, the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network Coordinator, on the Afternoon Music Mix yesterday. Seader discussed the upcoming Be More Awards, which honors and applauds community volunteers’ outstanding but often unrecognized efforts. One of our very own volunteers, Youth Radio volunteer Winnie Dong, received one of these awards.
