Dave Emory | WFMU Dave Emory and WFMU

I’ve listened to Mr. Emory since 1983 the One Step Beyond days. You really need to listen to the background research in the Radio Free America broadcasts. He is an anti-facist researcher that reads from various books, periodicals, news papers and digital news sources. Emory definitely brings alternate explanations to some of history’s events especially contemporary American political history.

I found out about Dave Emory way back in the 70's when he did a call in radio talk show from Foothills College in Los Altos Hills. It was all new and interesting and people could call in and ask questions or share their ideas. Emery always seemed to hate the callers and having to discuss or defend some of his more out-there claims. That is what I liked about the show, but it went away and became a monologue, which is most of what we get today.

I learned a lot from listening to Emory, his cop-host and his guests, and even attended some lectures that he gave. Again, Emory really seemed to dislike having to interact with his audience. Eventually I just gave up as his lectures became more and more disjointed and he would never got to the point or call out anything clearly.

Dave used to have a wonderful speaking voice but somewhere along the line his voice got broken and not he is very hard to understand. Add the poor quality audio and I don't even know why he has a podcast when you cannot hear it or understand it. Anyway, because in all these years, decades all Dave seems to be able to do it open up new theories but never connect or follow through with any thread I have to give this podcast as 1/5 and label it as useless and unacceptable.

Dave Emory is an old fashioned intellectual. Charmingly erudite, endlessly well-read and occasionally laughably pretentious, Dave is a national treasure and essential voice in the fight against fascism in America.
