For the 2024 election, Indiana residents will be voting for the next lieutenant governor. Democratic candidate Terry Goodin, who is running on the ticket with gubernatorial candidate Jennifer McCormick, and Republican candidate Micah Beckwith, who is running on the ticket with gubernatorial candidate Mike Braun, agreed to be interviewed. WFHB has split the interview into two parts, edited for the 30-minute shows. Goodin was interviewed in person and Beckwith was available to be interviewed over the phone. Here are some key topics brought up in both interviews and a summary of what each candidate said:
Background and career:
Lieutenant Governor Candidate Terry GoodinGoodin: Has worked on his family farm all his life and was a public school superintendent for 24 years.
Beckwith: Has worked as a pastor for the past 17 years.
The school system and politics:
Goodin: Believes teachers are trying their best and are undervalued even though they are the most important tool in the school system.
Beckwith: Believes “woke culture” is infiltrating schools across Indiana. Says Critical Race Theory needs to be taken out of Indiana’s school curriculum.
Public schooling and the vouchers program:
Goodin: Wants to restrict the vouchers program, not completely, but more. He says he wants to ensure public schools are being funded properly and private schools who are receiving public funding should follow state guidelines.
Beckwith: Strongly supports the vouchers program. He says it offers more options for students and parents deciding where to send their children. His plan is to expand and strengthen the program.
Lieutenant Governor Candidate Micah BeckwithWomen’s rights and abortion:
Goodin: Criticizes policies that restrict women’s reproductive rights and eliminate policies that do so.
Beckwith: Firmly believes life begins at conception and sees abortion as murder. Says he advocates for healthcare freedom and that it includes the health of the baby just as much as the mother.
The 2024 tax plan:
Goodin: Has a $600 million plan to address property taxes, which involves cutting local property taxes and replacing lost resources with state funds. He says he has spoken to both democratic and republican representatives to create their plan.
Beckwith: Will focus on property taxes. He believes the main tax issue is not the lack of money, but rather a spending problem with local governments. He says he has worked with Senator Holdman, Representative JD Prescott, Senator Linda Rogers, and others when configuring their plan.

As Youth Radio Summer Camp comes to a close, we want to reflect on the success and creativity of the campers this year. Over the course of five weeks, approximately 40 participants plus camp counselors joined us from across Bloomington and Ellettsville, bringing their thoughts and opinions to the radio.
Youth Radio Summer camp is a partnership between WFHB and local camps. Thank you to Kid City, Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington Lincoln Street, Ferguson Crestmont, and Ellettsville for making this happen. Special thanks to Backspace Gallery for generously providing a space for us to record.
Ellettsville Boys and Girls Club Photos by Gabrielle KnoxFerguson Crestmont Boys and Girls Club Photos by Gabrielle KnoxLincoln Street Boys and Girls Club Photos by Gabrielle KnoxCamp ScheduleWeek 1: Remote Playlists The camp kicked off with the creation of remote playlists. Each group made an hour-long music mix, sharing their favorite tracks and the stories behind why these songs resonate with them. Listen to the remote playlists here.
Week 2: Movie Madness Inspired by the Youth Radio podcast “Mixed Nuts,” our campers dove into all things cinema. From favorite movies and movie snacks to discussing iconic film soundtracks, the week was filled with spirited discussions. We particularly enjoyed the heated debate of TV shows vs. movies.
Week 3: News and Reviews In the third week, campers turned into budding journalists and critics, sharing pop culture updates, reviewing TV shows, artists, and books..
Week 4: True Stories and Audio Theatre Teens from Ferguson Crestmont rose to the challenge of writing their own audio play called “Zombie Land”. Other groups shared personal narratives, telling tales of triumphs and challenges from their own lives.
Week 5: Choose Your Own Adventure The final week gave our campers the freedom to explore their passions. From introducing new music to debating the best pizza toppings and cookies, creativity and enthusiasm were at an all-time high in the final week of camp!
To all the campers who brought their energy, ideas, and voices to our station, thank you for making this summer so memorable. You gave us so many laughs over the last 5 weeks and your passion is truly inspiring. We also extend our thanks to the camp counselors for their encouragement along the way.
Until next summer, keep dreaming, creating, and sharing your voices!

Landlocked Spotlight on Off The Charts*
Tune in on Thursday June 27th at 4:00 PM EST for our Firehouse Session with Austin indie rock band, Good Looks!
Good Looks write kindhearted and cathartic rock songs about the persistence required to make it through hard times. In April 2022, the Austin, Texas quartet released their critically acclaimed debut Bummer Year, which channeled post-2016 frustrations into lyrically generous and biting tracks. Immediately after their triumphant hometown record release show, tragedy struck. Walking outside the venue, lead guitarist Jake Ames was hit by a car crossing the street, fracturing his skull and tailbone. Following a necessary period of healing and processing which found him in the ICU and dealing with short-term memory issues, Ames recovered. The traumatic accident strengthened their bond, which is evident on their electric new album Lived Here For A While, currently in rotation at WFHB. Out June 7 via Keeled Scales, it’s fearlessly direct music that captures the full-throated intensity of their galvanizing live show.
We can’t wait to have Good Lucks live in the WFHB studio before their show that night at The Bishop. Don’t miss this one!
Tune in on Thursday June 20th at 2:00 PM EST for our Firehouse Session Interview with Luz Elena Mendoza of American indie alternative/experimental band who will be playing later that night at Switchyard Park! Host Adriane Pontecorvo will chat with Luz and mix some Y La Bamba tracks in throughout the convo. Don’t miss this special air-room interview!
By: Annika Harshbarger
After leaving her final class of sophomore year Cameron Gray planned to hangout with a friend. She made the decision to pass Dunn Meadow, a decision that changed her life. In this three part series listen to Cameron Gray tell her story of being arrested in Dunn Meadow for protesting Indiana Universities investments in companies supporting the genocide in Gaza, being held for a few hours in the Indiana University field house unable to use the bathroom, and spending several hours in a hot, packed, white tiled holding cell in the Monroe County Jail.
TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO FEATURE
Annika Harshbarger: This is part two of Banned from IU. A three part series focusing on Cameron Gray and her story of being arrested on Dunn Meadow for quote “using her voice” end quote. To listen to part one go to wfhb.org and search banned from IU: part 1. When we left Cameron last Tuesday she was on an IU bus with her hands zip tied behind her back. She had stumbled upon the protest by chance and was one of the first to be arrested and sat on a hill only able to watch as more students were arrested. She was led up the hill, and then up the stairs by the IMU bus stop and on to an IU bus that was anything but quiet.
Harshbarger: Cameron walks on to the bus and sees most of the protesters have sat in the back. She walks to join them and says.
Cameron Gray: “Well, hey guys, you know, and we just kind of rest and the solidarity and the knowledge that this isn’t good. This is actually quite scary, but we are here together.”
“We had a mission. And that was just sent a message that you can arrest us and that will not stop us that’s not going to stop our voices. “
Harshbarger: While they are stomping and chanting loud enough for people outside of the bus to hear them Cameron looked out the window.
Gray: “Guys it’s my sister… So someone had you know, gotten in contact with her and said, Hey, your sister’s arrested”
Harshbarger: The bus of arrested students and professors were scared but not discouraged.
Gray: “Here we are, you know, zip tied, dragged around, beat up, you know, on this IU bus with police. And, you know, we’re just as loud as we were on the field.”
Harshbarger: During this bus ride Cameron didn’t know where she was being taken. She assumed the county jail. She assumed wrong. Throughout the bus ride people are asking the police questions.
Gray: “we’re saying where are you going to take us? You know, we’re, we’re, we’re met with silence. So we finally pull up, you know, I see like a gravel parking lot. And like some stone looking architecture, and I’m like, where did you bring us? Where did you bring us?”
“We’re led through the door and I see that it’s the indoor track and field. Field House, you know, IU’s very own. And there’s a couple rows of small wooden chairs lined up. They say, take a seat. And that was shocking because that was like what what purposes have you for not taking us to jail? You know, what, what is the serve? What channels are you going through that that’s deemed that? Yes, you’re going to take the students on an IU bus to an IU Field House and hold them with with no answers for two hours”
Harshbarger: The field house was hot, and people were not doing well. One of the people that had been arrested had low blood sugar. They were pale and had to sit on the floor.
Gray: “The police would not do anything. So I had to behind my back, still cuffed on the student, he had to kneel on the ground. And behind my back, I had to try to feed them water. And then another student had, you know, granola bar and a granola bar that like, survived in their pocket. And they had to feed them that the same way.”
“There was another student that eventually they had to call like emergency services for it was just, it felt so wrong. And the whole time we were just, you know, questioning, almost like the legality of it. You know, does anyone know we’re here? How long are they going to keep us here? Nor are we going to jail? Are you Where are you taking us?”
“that was scary, because, you know, essentially, now we’re just students that have been zip tied, dragged off campus, no charges, no rights, some of us haven’t been told we’re under arrest. And we’re just sitting in this field house. They won’t let us go pee. You know, they won’t give us food or water. I screamed for two hours. That I had to be, I guess, maybe a little vulgar. I asked him if I could just pee my pants. They wouldn’t let me.
Harshbarger: After the police changed positions one came up to Cameron and asked if she had any questions.
Gray: “I said, Yeah. I have to go to the bathroom. They won’t let me I know for a fact there’s a bathroom in this place. I made him very, very uncomfortable because I brought up the fact that I was on my period that I felt I have a tampon and I’m gonna get toxic shock. You know, there’s blood running down my leg…, I’m gonna pee everywhere. And I think it’s really wrong that you won’t let me go pee, said I know you don’t care. But um, you know, it’s pretty gross. And he looked quite disturbed by the mention of blood and a natural, you know, bodily process in and finally at the end of almost two hours I was allowed to go to the bathroom.”
Harshbarger: After Cameron used the bathroom her hands were re-cuffed, but this time they were in front of her.
Gray: “I saw my sister outside the door. She had been waiting there the whole time, you know? And I was actually able to sign her a little bit, you know, I said, Hey, my phone’s dead. And, you know, what are they doing? And she said, yeah, there’s a shuttle on its way to take you guys. So we were able to trade information which provided greatly because we weren’t getting that anywhere else.”
Harshbarger: Cameron had had enough of the I don’t know’s, inconsistent answers and silence from the police.
Gray: “I said, you, you cuff us and you bring us here and you don’t know why. How blindly Can you follow orders?”
“there was such a lack of any sort of respect, and not that I think we were in a position where we would be getting respect from from, you know, the people who arrested us, but you’d expect a level of human decency that was just absent, it was just void. Maybe not even void, but it was replaced with some level of malice, you know, you know, they seem mad at us. And, you know, this is your punishment, almost, you know, not not going to jail not being put under arrest. But staying here without answers, not drinking water, not getting food, not getting answers not having the decency to use a restroom. It felt like an intentional kind of job on top of everything else. Because, you know, as we saw, in the end, they did have the power to give us water and to let us use the bathroom and to loosen the cuffs so that, you know, they finally did replace the cuffs of the student whose fingers were turning purple after hours of them pleading, and the rest of the students advocating for them. And they had cuts in their wrist, from how hard they were digging in. So it was, yeah, it was and it’s there was this battle kind of that’s been waged internally and me because I am both, you know, I’m dealing with the, the injustice of what I feel like I faced. But then there’s, you know, there’s a part of you, that’s what I’m fighting for, is the people who are, are dehumanized to the fullest extent, who are having bombs just dropped and who are being starved and murdered and put in mass graves. And, you know, so there’s, there’s a level of, of not letting yourself revel in your own pity, because it was worth it, you know, any anything I have to go through, you know, peeing my pants and being dehydrated, and having a sore elbow is? Is nothing.”
Harshbarger: An IU bus pulled up outside of the field house. Police picked the rowdiest students and loaded them onto the bus to be taken to the Monroe County Jail first. Cameron sat in the field house for almost another hour until an IU bus again pulled up outside of the field house. Cameron was lead on to the bus and sat down.
Gray: “It was beautiful because you know, they have posters all over the walls and the buses. And on one of the one of the little posters up on the bus said, the leaders of tomorrow, use your voice it said use your voice.”
Harshbarger: Protestors found the irony to be too much and had to laugh a little at how untrue the poster felt to them. Everybody on the bus sat in contemplating silence.
Gray: “The anger was still there. But, you know, it was sort of under the surface now, you know, now we’re just all thinking to ourselves, like, it’s starting to set in as much as it can, you know, the adrenaline has, has sort of waned. So that was it. It was a quiet one, Justin, you know, shock and trying to begin to process what’s going on, you know, we’ve we’ve been through so much already, and we’re not even to the jail.”
Harshbarger: We leave Cameron on yet another IU bus, tune in next week to hear part 3, the end, of Cameron’s story.

Civic Conversations welcomed Dr. Marjorie Hersey, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Indiana University, this month. In the podcast, she discusses the impact of disinformation on elections and how it influences election politics. Hershey shares that the definition of disinformation, purposeful misinformation designed to influence elections, has grown in recent years and that election campaigns that use disinformation hope that with enough repetitiveness of the information, people will begin to believe disinformation over the truth.According to Hershey, the key action that voters can take is to look to the source of that information and disregard it if no source is provided. If a source is given, they should verify that source before taking it as truth. Sources to help with verifying information include PolitiFact, the Brennan Center for Justice, and the Washington Post’s Fact Checker.

Tune in on Friday, May 17th at 4:00 PM EST to hear our Firehouse Session with Tré Burt! He’ll chat with us about his third album, Traffic Fiction that came out on Oh Boy Records and an unexpected musical reinvention rooted in his new and idiosyncratic version of classic soul.
Join us in-studio for an intimate conversation and performance as part of our Cosmic Songwriter Festival Firehouse series. See Tré Burt perform that night (5/17) at The Blockhouse.
Tune in on Thursday, May 16th at 4:00 PM EST to hear our Firehouse Session with Gabe Lee! Equal parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller, Gabe Lee has built his own bridge between country, folk and rock. Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee’s music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville, TN, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots-rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrative skills he’d sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn’t just writing songs about himself; he’s writing songs about all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together.
Join us in-studio for an intimate conversation and performance as part of our Cosmic Songwriter Festival Firehouse series. See Gabe Lee perform that night (5/16) at The Bluebird.

This is a rebroadcast from August 17, 2020.
Hosts Cornelius Wright and Amnita Myers discuss the 1921 Tulsa/Greenwood Race Massacre with Liz Mitchel, a regular Bring It On! anchor and producer of award-winning WFHB segment “Dark Past, Bring Future”, and Professor Jewell Parker-Rhodes, bestselling novelist and award-winning academic.
The Tulsa Race Massacre occurred over the span of two days in 1921, from May 31 to June 1, when mobs of whites from the area indiscriminately attacked and often killed the black residents, especially those living in the Greenwood District of Tulsa. The white mobs went on to destroy more than 35 square blocks of what was then the wealthiest black community in the United States, which was dubbed the “Black Wall Street”.
In mid-June, Donald Trump was widely criticized as extremely insensitive to this tragedy when he scheduled his “Keep America Great” rally in Tulsa, OK shortly after the Massacre’s 99-year anniversary and on, and then rescheduled to the day after, Juneteenth. With the spark of the massacre starting with the arrest of 19-year-old black Dick Rowland for the assault of Sarah Page, a 17-year-old white, rumors had spread that Rowland was going to be lynched. Reportedly, 75 black men, some armed, arrived at the jail to ensure that would not happen. After reassurance from the sheriff, while the group of black men was leaving the jail, a member of the white mob already assembled at the jail attempted to disarm one of the black men. A shot was fired, and, according to the sheriff, “all hell broke loose”.
Many members of the white mob were deputized and armed by city officials. It is estimated that more than 800 black residents were hospitalized and up to 6,000 black residents were detained, many for several days. Officially, 36 were killed in the Race Massacre, but historians have estimated that anywhere from 75 to 300 were killed. Black Wall Street was left in ashes.
Professor Jewell Parker Rhodes and Liz Mitchell come to Bring It On! to help us understand this tragedy and its long-lasting psychological and economic impact on the black communities in Tulsa and throughout the United States.

The history of Bloomington’s community radio station; a continuing series.
Despite running into the Channel 6 brick wall — powerful WRTV TV Ch. 6 in Indianapolis controlled a lane of the broadcast spectrum uncomfortably close to the noncommercial frequency Jeffrey Morris hoped to secure for the planned Bloomington community radio station — the folks who supported the Community Radio Project (CRP) remained optimistic. Surely, the volunteers felt, Morris would soon dig up a usable frequency. He worked feverishly to find one.
Of more pressing importance was the task of raising money. More money. The group’s first foray into fundraising, the Bluebird live concert in July of 1975, had generated more than $700. The group soon realized that would be a drop in the bucket. People went about the business of staging more benefits for the proposed station. There were pancake breakfasts at various restaurants around town, with Jim Manion, Mark Hood, and Nick Brubaker sweating over the grills, concerts, including one with legendary jazz mandolin player Jethro Burns, and two “Trance Dances.” All benefited the CRP. With each success the optimism grew.
By the late 1970s, Morris indeed had found another frequency far enough away from the Indy Ch. 6 lane. The group (renamed Clear Creek Sounds in 1977)) filed an application with the FCC for 90.5 FM and waited for the expected favorable response. On June 10, 1981, a letter from the FCC arrived. It contained bad news; the application had been rejected. It was yet another example of how the pre-internet search for a frequency could break an applicant’s heart. In the time since Morris had found 90.5, Louisville’s public radio station WUOL, airing on the same frequency, had applied for and been granted a big power increase. Its coverage area now approached Bloomington. “Boom!” says Richard Fish. “We were shot down.”
The rejection took the heart out of the volunteers. “Everybody quit except me,” says Morris. “Nobody else was thinking about the station anymore. Everybody was gone.”

Welcome to Prescription for Healthcare, a podcast collaboration between the WFHB Local News and Medicare for All Indiana, broadcasting the second Thursday of every month (except this month, 3rd Thu) as part of the Local News at 5:15 PM.
This month we interview Rose Roach, former director of the Minnesota Nurses Association and currently National Coordinator of the Labor Campaign for Single Payer. We talk about how nurses and doctors around the country are joining unions as they push back against the growing corporatization of the healthcare “industry.”
“Doctors and nurses are the conscience of health care. They are the voice for us as patients. Corporate health care doesn’t give two hoots about us, but not so when it comes to our doctors and our nurses. It is now evident that the only way to radically change a health care system that is nothing more than a health care marketplace these days, that is being bought up by Wall Street solely for the purpose of generating profit, is to radically engage care providers in the collective struggle that we are all in for a humane, patient-provider centered system. That’s why I believe that we are seeing more and more physicians exploring unions as a way to ensure their ability to practice medicine as they’ve been trained to do. Not to practice according to the corporate bosses who have been trained to make money. No one should profit from another human being suffering. Our doctors and nurses are coming together to fight against that ever growing focus of our health care system.” – Rose Roach

Bloomington City Council
At the Bloomington City Council meeting on May 10th, Development Services Manager Jacki Scanlan gave an update on Accessory Dwelling Units and Plexes.
Council Member Steve Volan asked if the regulations are too restrictive, and if that is why they have not had a lot of requests. Scanlan responded.
Council Member Matt Flaherty asked a follow up question on what is stopping people from building A-D-Us and duplexes. Scanlan said that the process might be stopping people before they get started.
Council Member Jim Sims asked Scanlan if having the approval process be a by-right permitted use instead of a conditional use permit, would encourage more residents to consider A-D-Us and plexes.. Scanlan agreed that they would probably see more requests if the ordinance was instead a by-right permitted use.
Flaherty said that he is interested in changing the regulations after seeing that the concerns city residents’ had did not come to fruition, and asked Scanlan if she thinks that it would be reasonable to loosen the regulations to enable the building of more accessory dwelling units and plexes.
Then, Council Member Dave Rollo reintroduced an ordinance to amend the traffic calming and greenways program.
Assistant Director of Planning and Transportation Beth Rosenbarger offered some clarification on the traffic calming and greenways processes.
The council voted 4-5 in opposition to the ordinance. The next Bloomington City Council meeting will take place on May 17th.
