Episode #24: January 17, 2008: History
produced by Julie Sabatier and Brian Kramer

This episode takes a do-it-yourself approach to personal and collective history. You'll hear interviews with Julie's grandparents, including her grandpa Rome Hartman who had a long and storied career as a radio man at WIRK. And we're proud to bring you the work of producer Miriam Widman with a piece about a storytelling night in Portland called DIY Stories. Performance artist damali ayo will enlighten us about her fascinating project called "Living Flag: Panhandling for Reparations," where she asks white people on the street for money and hands that money back to black people passing by.

Music by Jason Leonard. Thanks to my aunt Ginnie Hartman, who collected Grandpa's radio broadcasts and my uncle Larry Dorman, who had them transferred into digital form.
