“Shortcuts- 21st Century II” (52:00 mp3):
Part two in this three hour-long retrospective of the first decade, of the century, of the millennium:
Shortcut Thru the 21st Century, Part Two (52:00) Peter Bochan
We survey selected speech, song, and soundbites from 2003 thru 2005; from the invasion of Iraq, to electing a U.S. President, to the flooding of New Orleans.
Shortcuts are assembled, mixed and mashed by audio wizard Peter Bochan, of All Mixed Up, WBAI-NYC and WPKN-Bridgeport CT. Next week, the final part: 2006-2009 (all three at PRX).
really enjoyed pt 2. Like the music too.
really npr is the best program.
What’s the name of the soundbite where the man with the British accent is reading the fairy tale of the Bush family? I want to know so I can download it.
These mixes really bring back memories of the lost decade 2000 – 2009. RIP.
It’s Alistair Cooke reading one of his very last “Letters From America” for the BBC. He died that year.
