You’re listening to WFHB Rewind, where we pause to reflect and rediscover the voices and stories that make WFHB what it is. From the fresh perspectives of Youth Radio to in-depth journalism from the News Department and interviews with artists from our Music Department, we bring you highlights from the week—and sometimes hidden gems you might have missed. Stay with us for a blend of thoughtful storytelling, vibrant interviews, and the unexpected moments that bring our airwaves to life.

Claire Pendreigh (Frohman)

On October 9th, 2024 – local singer songwriter and indie folk artist Claire Pendreigh joined us for a Local Live Session. Today we revisit her conversation with host, Nicki Seven. That’s coming up next on WFHB Rewind.

Up next, we take a look back at an archived Voices in the Street segment produced by Youth Radio. In the early hours of September 19th, 2022, 20-year-old IU student Nathaniel Stratton was hit and killed by a drunk driver. The loss of a son, brother, friend and peer sent shockwaves through the community of IU and Bloomington alike. In the wake of this tragedy, Youth Radio took to the streets of Bloomington in the hopes of finding some answers as to what can be done to prevent more accidents like this in the future.


In December 2024, WFHB News Correspondents Brookelyn Lambright and Leo Paes cover an episode of Unbound titled “Silenced Spaces: The Fight for Free Speech and Open Dialogue at Dunn Meadow: IU administration fails to hear the frustrations of pro-Palestine faculty and students amid Dunn Meadow closure.” We now turn to that report on WFHB Rewind.

Governor Mike Braun and Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith were sworn into office on Monday of this week – marking four years of leadership in the executive branch for the state of Indiana. On Monday, WFHB News covered the inauguration of Indiana Governor Mike Braun.


Martin Luther King Jr. Day happens on Monday, January 20th. The City of Bloomington plans to host an MLK Day Celebration at the Buskirk Chumley Theater, the theme being “A Necessary Renaissance in Social Justice: Telling the Stories to Ignite Change.” That broadcast will air live on WFHB starting at 6 p.m. In today’s edition of WFHB Rewind, we take a look back at MLK Day in 2008 where the Daily Local News covered the MLK Day Celebration at the Buskirk Chumley that year. We look back at that feature report from the Daily Local News on today’s edition of WFHB Rewind.

When the sun rises tomorrow the temperature in Bloomington may be as low as three degrees.  This is especially dangerous for the unhoused. WFHB correspondent Morgan Reynolds spoke with people braving winter weather and social workers trying to bring them in from the cold, in a report produced in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University.

Imagine you have a serious medical condition requiring a colostomy bag, but you are unhoused and using plastic grocery bags instead. Now imagine the temperature drops while you’re sleeping and this bag of your own waste freezes to your body. That’s a true story from the streets of Bloomington, as told in today’s feature report on the plight of the unhoused in the bitter cold of winter.
