WFHB Rewind – June 25, 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 February 2nd, 2024, Nina Pitchkites and Kevin Krauter of the Indianapolis dream-pop band Wishy joined us for a Firehouse Session in-studio interview and performance. They talked about the evolution of the band, their mutual obsession with The Sundays and the excitement and buzz around their recent EP, Paradise. Wishy will headline WFHB Past and Present: 50 Years of the Bloomington Community Radio Project – which will take place Thursday, July 10th at the Bluebird. We turn now to that interview and a portion of that performance on WFHB Rewind.
Now we have an archived segment from September 2010. It features an interview with Mark Hood, one of the founders of WFHB, discussing the history and impact of the station. Founded in 1974, WFHB’s first significant event was a 1975 benefit concert that raised over $700. Despite initial challenges, including a 19-year licensing process, WFHB went on air in 1993. Hood highlighted the station’s role in supporting local music and its evolution into a news outlet. He emphasized WFHB’s importance in fostering community engagement and encouraged listeners to support the station during the fall fund drive. We turn now to that archived interview in celebration of our upcoming show WFHB Past and Present: 50 Years of the Bloomington Community Radio Project – which, again, will take place Thursday, July 10th at the Bluebird.

Up next – the first heat wave of the summer is here in Monroe County. Monday through Friday this week, temperatures are expected to reach at least 90 degrees. In today’s feature report, WFHB News Correspondents Ella Cummings and Max Schneider speak with Amanda Roach from Indiana University. Amanda Roach is University Director for Emergency Management and Continuity, overseeing the statewide team leading IU’s emergency planning and continuity efforts. She discusses how to prepare for severe heat and stay safe during extreme weather events. We turn now to that interview on WFHB Rewind.
Now it’s time for Art Walk – where Youth Radio members attend local galleries to talk with artists and art lovers.
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.
