About this listen
Today's show begins with the filmmakers behind “Drop Dead City,” a new documentary about the 1975 New York City fiscal crisis. Eight million people in a crumbling city were brought to the edge of bankruptcy and social chaos by a perfect storm of greed, incompetence, ambitious social policy, and poor governance. The striking parallels with current America are unmistakable; dismantling public institutions in the name of austerity and public outcry.
Then, veteran sound engineer, producer, and Hollywood recording studio owner Bob Wayne talks about his new memoir, "Reel To Real Tales...Notes From Both Sides of the Recording Console.”
Bob's studio production credits include over three hundred albums, and he won a Grammy in 2002 for his work on George Carlin's "Napalm and Silly Putty." Bob’s studio, Sunburst Recording, collaborated with diverse talents as Adam Sandler, Ska bands Fishbone and Hepcat, Richie Havens, Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, Dr. Demento, television pioneer Steve Allen, and many jazz greats. The Firesign Theatre recorded their last three albums with Bob.
