Classical music is alive and well here at Northeast Indiana Public Radio, and volunteer host Stan Whippo shared in the form of a live, four hour "Matinee," every weekday afternoon on our classical station, 94.1 WBNI for over 20 years before retiring in October 2018.

A Pennsylvania native, Whippo is proud to be a Hoosier now, and also spent his time volunteering for Allen County Public Library's Audio Reading Service, and participating in member activities at Trinity English Lutheran Church.

As part of her ongoing "Behind the Mic" series, WBOI's Julia Meek invited Stan into the studio to learn what the genre means to him, and how it drives his passion for public radio.
