Mr. Barry Farber
I guested the Barry Farber show on October 27 and the archive has not been in place until today. He is freshly back from his trip to Hungary where he was honored for his efforts with their freedom fighters in 1956 to get families out of the civil war with a rubber raft and a squad of partisans. I had to drag him into it at the bottom of the hour as he wanted to talk about the election and not amazingly we had a lot to say about that, but I wanted to hear about Hungary as I had students who were there and escaped with their parents as children, plus one of my close friends, John Nady, a physicist, disciple of Richard Feynman of Cal Tech, and engineer, inventor of the wireless musical instrument pickups used in entertainment as well as special microphones, etc.
I know you will enjoy this one more than most, but I have to tell you that I have recently done a study of these shows we have archived here and was pleasantly surprised to see that they have long lives! They continue to pull listeners as long as we have them here, but I have long had an idea that the future of media is more "on demand" than not. Program designers and advertisers should think in these terms, taking a more "institutional," long-term approach. Where historians have long treasured letters from everyone as reflections on their times audio archives are already an important part of that class.
