IU President McRobbie Rocks Public Radio

Indiana University President Michael McRobbie guest-hosted the WFIU radio program Just You & Me with Joe Bourne.

The Power Of 'Live'



The president played his favorite rock songs from his days as a college student, including tracks by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, the Who, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Janis Joplin and Neil Young.

All of McRobbie's choices came from live recordings, as he wanted "to give listeners a sense of the energy, power and musicianship of all these great groups and artists at their peak."

The Studio Welcomes The President



"At a time when the arts are facing cuts, it's particularly encouraging to hear Indiana University President McRobbie on-air promoting cultural programming on WFIU," said WFIU Station Manager Christina Kuzmych. "It's a testament to the WFIU/Indiana University partnership, and to President McRobbie's personal enjoyment of music and radio."
