Pacifica Radio Archives’ “From the Vault”
Each week the Pacifica Radio Archives chooses a program "From the Vault" of broadcasts in a half-hour program.
This week on From the Vault, we offer up an hour of storytelling from the oldest surviving recording in all of Public Broadcasting, dating back to 1949, the year Pacifica flagship station KPFA introduced listener sponsored non-commercial media to Berkeley, California and the world.
You are going to hear Indian Tales, Native American stories recorded by Jaime De Angulo four years before the first publication in 1953.
The series of tales are 22 hours long and were offered to Pacifica listeners in serial form…each week new tales told. Here we introduce Bear family visiting Old Man Coyote. Jaime de Angulo died in Berkeley in 1950 not a year after recording theses tales.
From the Vault is produced by Brian DeShazor and Mark Torres with support from the Pacifica Radio Archives staff.
From the Vault is presented through the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project, funded in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, past grants from the Grammy Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the American Archive funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, along with the generous support of Pacifica Radio Listeners.
