The Art Of The Matter

Douglas Wissing writes essays about what makes Hoosiers special, and now his distinctive pieces have been collected in IN Writing: Uncovering the Unexpected Hoosier State. Sharon Gamble invited Douglas to our studios to hear about how he got interested in a wide range of topics including Bedford Limestone, modernist architecture, and a world-renowned cheese artisan. The Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library has some big plans, including a new building on Mass. Ave. Travis DiNicola spoke with the Library's Chief Operating Officer Matthew Altizer about everything Vonnegut. Billy Elliot loves to dance, but he's surrounded by people who think he should take up a more traditional form of exercise. Billy's journey makes for a poignant and joyful musical, and local nonprofit theatre BobDirex is taking us on that trip over the next three weekends. Sharon Gamble invited director and producer Bob Harbin in to talk about Billy Elliot.
