Sound School Podcast Folgen

Sherre Delys says she sometimes thinks of her documentary "If" as her "hit single" — the piece she's best known for. We think of it as one of the coolest, most ear-catching documentaries of the last 30 years and it's featured on the next episode in the series "Old School Sound School."

Whatever happened to handing tape decks to people so they can document their lives? These "radio diaries" offered an intimacy unavailable to most reporters. A perfect example is Annie Cheney's "Concerning Breakfast," produced for Jay Allison's series from the 1990s, "The Life Stories Collection." Annie's story is today's feature on the Sound School series "Old School Sound School." 

Sound School is launching a new series, Old School Sound School featuring classic and rare documentaries 20-plus years old. The series begins by marking the 25th anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center in September of 2001. The Sonic Memorial Project is a remarkable, hour-long documentary from The Kitchen Sisters piece produced in 2002 on the very first anniversary of the attack. This is The Kitchens Sisters at their best.
