FROM THE VAULT IS ON FALL HIATUS AS STAFFERS PREPARE FOR THE ANNUAL PACIFICA RADIO ARCHIVES NATIONAL FUND DRIVE ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2007. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, WE WILL BE FEATURING SELECT EPISODES OF FROM THE VAULT FROM THE PAST TWO YEARS.

This week, From the Vault will explore the recent global warming movement through more recently recorded audio materials now housed in the Pacifica Radio Archives vault. With the help of volunteer producer Alexandra Kravetz, we’ve put together a fascinating look at the relationship between scientific research on Earth’s ever-changing climate, the US Government, and Big Business. The sounds we will hear chronicle the twisted journey that facts undergo as they make their way from laboratories of hard science to the halls of Congress, and how corporate spin produces slick press releases and ironically named legislation to further the complacency of the masses. With audio from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Ross Gelbspan, Rep. Henry Waxman, Seth Schulman, Chris Mooney, Exploration’s Dr. Michio Kaku, Counterspin’s Steve Rendall, and Maria Armoudian.

The last ten minutes of this week’s episode is devoted to a special audio collage compiled by Pacifica Radio Archives’ senior producer, Mark Torres, showcasing some recently preserved recordings from the Archives’ Sound of Soul project.

From the Vault is presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
