WFHB Firehouse Sessions • 24th November 2025

WFHB Firehouse Sessions ft. Gordi

Australian folktronica artist Gordi joined WFHB on July 30, 2025 for a powerful, intimate Firehouse Session hosted by Adriane Pontecorvo. They talk about Gordi’s gorgeous new album Like Plasticine, her work as a doctor in a hospital during COVID, and how that experience reshaped her perspective on what truly matters. Written during the pandemic, Like Plasticine carries the weight and clarity of those realizations, and this session offers a completely stripped-down look at the emotional core of the record.

Gordi delivers stunning, heartfelt performances, revealing these songs in their most vulnerable form.

Recorded live at the WFHB Firehouse in Bloomington, Indiana. 🔥🎶 #gordi #livesession #communityradio #folktronica

People from Bloomington: A Short Story Collection from Indonesia

The Indonesian writer Budi Darma came to Bloomington, in 1974. Like so many people who come to Bloomington, he was here for school. He was already an established literary figure in Indonesia, as a writer of absurdist short stories. He came here to get a Master’s degree in creative writing, then a PhD in literature. His dissertation was on Jane Austen, if you’re curious about that kind of thing. But more importantly for our purposes: while he was here, he started writing stories inspired by the p

Southern Rock, Midwestern Soul

For music critic Stephen Deusner, songwriters fall into one of two camps. There are the ones who have something they want to tell you, and then there are the ones who want to figure something out. For him, the longevity of the Drive-By Truckers comes from their residence in the second camp. For decades now, they’ve been writing smart, complex songs whose characters add complexity to our picture of rural America, especially the South. Stephen’s book about the Truckers, Where the Devil Don’t Stay:
