Local DJ, Columnist To Debut Show On WFYI

WFYI Public Radio debuts a new radio program with local DJ and NUVO columnist Kyle Long on Wednesday, July 2. "A Cultural Manifesto" explores the merging of a wide spectrum of global music with the more familiar American styles of music, such as soul, hip-hop and jazz. In each episode listeners can expect to hear intriguing new sounds and styles of music from all sorts of international traditions. Long spoke with WFYI's Jill Ditmire about the show.

You can hear "A Cultural Manifesto" Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 3 p.m. on 90.1 HD2. If you don't have an HD radio, you can listen online.

Jill Ditmire was no stranger to the broadcast world. Her face and voice were a daily part of the lives of viewers and listeners in the Midwest for 25 years. She was the local news anchor during "All Things Considered" and a contributor to "Morning Edition," "Sound Medicine," "Art of the Matter “Curious Mix” and "Wednesday Live at 5:44." Jill's broadcast experience included anchoring and reporting news at television stations in Indianapolis, Detroit and Lafayette, including WTTV, WRTV, WLFI, WJBK, WTHR, WISH and the Ford Motor Company News Network. She produced her own television series on Indiana Public Television for eight years called “The Good Life” which showcased independent chefs, restaurants and local wineries.
