Vast Wasteland

On May 9th, 1961, a still-celebrated speech rocked the world of broadcast television. In it, FCC Chairman Newton Minow zeroed in on television's vapid programming landscape, and the words "vast wasteland" became a contemporary catchphrase. More from WNYC's Sara Fishko in this edition of Fishko Files. This is the final edition of Fishko Files at WNYC. The episodes will live online and in the WNYC archives. You can find more extended Fishko work on our website. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Realizes Podcasting Potential

This podcast enriches my cultural awareness in a unique way. I would say that I wish more podcasts would deliver similar content except that Sara Fishko has produced an output so much better than others as to be a difference of kind not a difference of degree. So it really seems like this podcast is unique by design and so beyond replication. So instead of pleading for others to duplicate Sara’s technique I would instead ask Sara to preserve her vision at all costs. Outstanding work, Sara.
