In today’s feature report, WFHB Correspondent Harley Babbitt reports on the Granfalloon Festival, an annual celebration of art, ideas and community in Bloomington hosted by IU Arts and Humanities. The festival is inspired by Indiana author Kurt Vonnegut celebrating his life and works. This year’s focus is on “Cat’s Cradle,” a Cold War satire. Babbitt attended two Granfalloon events and spoke with festival organizers, highlighting Vonnegut’s Indiana roots and the timeless themes of community, religion, and existential angst. For more, we turn to Correspondent Harley Babbit.


Up next – we have Prescription for Healthcare, a podcast collaboration between the WFHB Local News and Medicare for All Indiana. This month, hosts Dr. Rob Stone and Karen Green Stone speak with Wade Catt, an MD/PhD student at Indiana University School of Medicine. His PhD will be in Sociology and he has been looking at how the current threats to Medicaid could have disastrous consequences in Indiana. We turn now to the June edition of Prescription for Healthcare on the WFHB Local News.

Now it’s time for Art Walk – where Youth Radio reporters visit local galleries to talk with artists and art lovers. That’s coming up next on the WFHB Local News.
