FTV 237 Tim Robbins in Conversation with Studs Terkel

Posted in Update on November 24th, 2010

At the beginning of the new millenium on January 20, 2000, the Los Angeles county Museum of Art hosted a conversation between Tim Robbins and Studs Terkel. Studs was 87 years old at that time, and Tim was just about half that age.

What transpired over the next hour would become one of the most animated, entertaining and educational recordings in the Pacifica Radio Archives. The chemistry between these two titans of media was electric, and Robbins was a magnificent conduit to effortlessly extract a lifetime of knowledge and story from Studs.

This week on From the Vault, we present Tim Robbins in conversation with Studs Terkel.

FTV 234 Edward Said

Posted in Update on November 6th, 2010

This Week on From the Vault we honor one of the great visionary thinkers of our time, Edward Said.

Edward Said was born in Jerusalem in 1935, the son of an American citizen of Christian Protestant Palestinian origins. After earning a bachelor’s degree at Princeton University and a masters and Ph.D. in English Literature at Harvard University, Said became Professor of Comparative Literature at Columbia University in 1963, a teaching post he would hold up until his death on September 25th, 2003.

Edward Said would use his duel heritage to help bridge the gap between the West and the Middle East and to improve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with his acute and sober analysis. Today we will present selections from Pacifica Radio Archive’s thirty-year history with Dr. Said.
