At 11:00 a.m. this Sunday on The Best of Public Radio we go into archives for some rare audio from KUT. The preservation of audio in the pre-digital age was haphazard at best. Even so, Michael Lee and Rebecca McInroy, who produce KUT’s Sonic ID project, have uncovered Allen Ginsberg singing the poetry of William Blake, a long lost live performance of Townes Van Zandt, a singing intro to the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and KUT founder Bob Schenkkan introducing a broadcast lecture – which is KUT’s earliest surviving recording. You’ll hear memories from KUT’s long time music hosts, some of our favorite Sonic ID’s and a few surprises as well.
