(Original recording made in 1998)
In 1998, I spoke to Carl Becker in his only appearance on the program.
Becker was a deeply revered historian who taught at Wright State for
decades. When I was listening to this interview to prepare it for
rebroadcast, I wondered if by chance someone out there listening to it
might say, "oh my, that's Carl Becker, I remember him!" Becker died some
years ago.
After the show, aired a listener emailed the station. The email was from
Carl Becker's daughter. She had been tuning in to WYSO when suddenly,
she heard her father's voice.
Radio can be magical.
