Bob Fass documentary

Influential radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized the FM dial by developing a patchwork of music, politics, comedy and reports from the street, effectively creating free-form radio. For nearly 50 years, Fass has been heard at midnight on listener-sponsored station WBAI, broadcast out of New York City. Radio Unnameable documents Bob Fass’s eventful and controversial career, his involvement with some of the most gripping cultural movements of our time, while placing his story in a larger context of the struggle to keep free expression on the airwaves.

Public Hearing

This started as just a set of links distributed to classes over the past several years but has now expanded somewhat to include more sound art, radio, field recordings and other links related to the creative non musical use of sound. It is in no way complete, so please forward suggestions to pvonzweck [at] yahoo [dot] com
