RADIO PROGRAM CATALOGUE

"Feder's radio storytelling cuts close to heart, close to edge

Ask Mike Feder to describe his live radio program Hard Work, which has aired on the Pacifica Foundation's WBAI-FM for 22 years, and he responds, "I open the microphone and I just talk. I talk about sex, death, marriage, kids, things I read in the newspaper, things I see walking around on the street. I talk about everything and anything for an hour, usually without stopping."

Advisory: These programs (all in CD format) range between 50 minutes and 70 minutes. Most of the shows were recorded on cassette tape, so the recordings vary in quality (from just OK to pretty good). Professional touches have been added so that the final CD's are as free of glitches, hiss, static, etc., as possible. 

The programs are generally in story form, with distinguishable beginnings, middles and ends. However, they may contain preambles, and after-words that have to do with movies I saw, books I read, comments on the news of the time, odd and/or interesting music of all sorts, even the occasional call from a listener. You get the picture. 

Cost per CD is $15.00, which includes Shipping&Handling. Payment is by check.
