WFHB Rewind – July 16, 2025
You’re listening to WFHB Rewind, where 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. This is WFHB Rewind.
Featured Segments:
On Monday, May 5th, 2025, the WFHB music department had a Local Live session with garage rock band, Rearview Rhonda. The band played a set of all-new songs. We turn now to that archived edition of Local Live with Rearview Rhonda on WFHB Rewind.
Up next, Youth Radio Summer Camp – a partnership between WFHB, Banneker Community Center, and The Boys and Girls Clubs of Ellettsville. In five sessions Youth Radio Summer Camp gives youth a crash course in all things broadcast radio. During week two of Youth Radio Summer Camp, campers focused on interview skills. Members of the Ellettsville Boys and Girls Club spoke with Bloomington Fire Prevention Officer Tom Figolah. That segment from WFHB’s Youth Radio coming up next on WFHB Rewind.
Coming up next from our news department – WFHB Correspondent Ella Cummings profiles Barbara Restle, a 99-year-old woman who grew up in Nazi-occupied Austria. Restle recounts her childhood experiences in Austria, where she witnessed the deterioration of democracy and the rise of totalitarianism. She describes her family’s escape to the U.S. in 1938 and her father’s role in aiding Jewish refugees. Restle draws parallels between the rise of the Nazi regime and the current U.S. political climate under President Trump. She expressed deep concern over the Trump administration’s disregard for the Constitution and the growing chaos in American politics. For more, we turn to WFHB Correspondent Ella Cummings.

People who work in downtown Bloomington will soon get access to training on how to de-escalate tense situations involving the unhoused. You might be surprised to hear that such training didn’t already exist, and you might be even more surprised to hear where the idea came from. Crystal Ritter from City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation and Shelby VanDerMoere from the Bloomington Fire Department participated in a popular impact training called Leadership Bloomington-Monroe County. Their group wanted to do something to help the unhoused. They discovered that frontline workers in downtown Bloomington don’t really get any kind of training on managing conflict with the local unhoused population. They produced a factfinding report and a de-escalation pamphlet, and soon, a de-escalation training video. They hope mediation techniques will reduce unneeded calls to 9-1-1. That’s coming up next on WFHB Rewind.
