S5E32: "Somewhere That's Green: 'Little Shop of Horrors' as a primary source

Since it’s that time of the year again when people begin to plan out their planting for the season, I figured I’d cultivate an episode from a short recording from few years ago about Roger Corman’s 1960 B Horror Comedy Little Shop of Horrors. Let this be a cautionary episode of the Everything is a Primary Source Podcast.

S5E31: "Failure is Not an Option: Apollo 13 as a primary source of the mid 1990s"

This episode of the Everything is a Primary Source podcast is another clip extracted from the archives, this time a conversation with a drop-in guest named Ted about the 1994 book Lost Moon, which was the basis for the 1995 film, Apollo 13.

It may have taken a few years but my guest’s wish is about to come true. I will be beginning my week-long oral history collecting road trip in his native Chicago this June. You’ll be able to catch me at the Museum of Broadcast Communications, and you know there will be plenty of displays, artifacts, and other amazing TV and Radio materials on hand to inspire more conversations about time and place. Check out everything-history.com/america250 to learn more about this and see how you can get involved.

S5E30: "Greetings from the Jersey Shore: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band as a document of time and place."

Melissa Ziobro is the Director of Curatorial Affairs for the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music, which is set to open to the public in its brand new building later this Spring. Melissa is also a native to the Jersey Shore, and therefore the best person to speak with to discuss Springsteen and his E Street band as reflections of that area's heritage and character.

Learn more about the Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music on their website, springsteencenter.org and throughout social media.
