A First Timer’s Guide to Culture Shock (With Advice From the Experts!)
Culture Shock is fast approaching! This Saturday, April 12th, the festivities begin, and we’ll be in for a day full of music, art, and amazing vibes. Here’s an official Culture Shock Q&A panel to prepare you for the big day!
Americana: A Genre for All
Since this upcoming 37th Culture Shock covers all aspects of “Americana,” I figured it may be useful to dive into the theme’s history, definition, and application (because it’s a super fun theme and I’m SO excited to see it in action this weekend!)
Heads Up: Culture Shock 2025 Artist Profiles
Get excited, y’all – Culture Shock 2025 is less than a week away! From 12-9pm on Saturday, April 12th, the 37th annual WIUX music festival will take place on IU’s own Dunn Meadow. We have a lot to look forward to during this year’s Culture Shock, including a fun Americana theme, food trucks, a DIY merch table, free admission (as always!), and of course, sets from some phenomenal artists.

Jeff Greenspan On "Deviant Acts"
Jeff Greenspan is a guy who wears a lot of hats – comedian, artist, activist, and even former ad agency creative. But at the core of everything he does is a deep curiosity about people and the systems that shape our lives. In an interview with WIUX, Greenspan talked about his comedy show “Deviant Acts" that blends humor and activism, while using satire to challenge authority, and why he thinks public spaces are the best places for creative expression.
A Session with Greg Mendez
A few weeks ago, Philadelphia-based indie artist Greg Mendez sat down for a brief conversation with WIUX following a live session on 99.1. Before performing at The Bishop Bar for the second time on February 28th, Mendez chatted with us about the beginning of his music career, his newest release, the end of his tour, and his future plans.
Hannah Frances’ ‘Keeper of the Shepherd’ shows how grief and other deep emotions can be channeled into art
On a crisp fall evening last October, Hannah Frances played solo to a crowd at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. She walked briskly across the stage as the lights illuminated her smile and her monochromatic outfit. Her voice and big electric guitar quickly filled the room. It didn’t take much for her to captivate this eager audience.

“Motion Picture Soundtrack:" Nosferatu with Radiohead at IU Cinema
Whether from a place of nostalgia, historical appreciation, or rebellion, we young people love to love old media. IU Cinema’s March 4th screening of Nosferatu (1922) with a score by Radiohead was a perfect opportunity to engage with this act of finding the old in the new; discovering modern meanings in material from the past.
