Noon Edition airs on Fridays at noon on WFIU.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock - a four-day celebration of peace, music and love in Bethel, New York.
Held in August 1969, the festival attracted more than 400,000 attendees.
The 1970 documentary film of the same name helped to solidify the festival as an emblem of counterculture and popular music history.
