They're hardly used at all, a criminal oversight. 25 yrs worth of broadcasts online, hundreds of interviews from Lesley Gore to Wadada Leo Smith, deep dives into entire discographies, polymath DJs including Tommy Boy's ex-pres Monica Lynch and YLT's Ira Kaplan, and zero interest from researchers.

Fun! Would love to see a syllabus when it's ready.

What is your course?

Titled "Music in History" but actually music history from community freeform radio perspective, based almost entirely on WFMU radio archives--from Thomas Edison's Attic cylinder recordings show to GenAI appropriation of the Free Music Archive. Workshopping my book with 45 students basically.

Hope so too! I may still use McWhorter piece + clip from The Encampments doc with the protest noise. And then a bit from a WFMU broadcast the day after the piece where a DJ commented on how ridiculous it was to forbid 4'33" because of extraneous noise when the piece was designed precisely for that.
