S5E23: "I Just Called to Say: treating telephones through the ages as primary sources"

Graham Gifford is the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Telephone Museum in Warner. She and I connected at the NHCSS conference in Concord last October. I think we were really dialed in with our talk, and I hope you enjoy the tone of the conversation as we connect lines between all iterations of telephonic communication.

S5E22:"Stars of the Second City: The 1893 and 1933 World's Fairs in Chicago as documents of their time periods"

Plymouth State University History Professor John Kruekeberg and I speak about two of the shining stars in Chicago's storied past, the Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the 1933 Century of Progress World's Fair, by way of a souvenir deck of cards I have from the former event.

S5E21:"Program 1: The Beatles on 8-Track as a primary source of the early 1970s"

Morgan, who works with Creative Guts, a creativity-centered non-profit and podcast, stopped by my exhibit last year at the NH Makers Fest held at the Children's Museum of New Hampshire. He chose my Beatles/ 1962-1966 compilation on 8-track to talk about, but we spent less time talking about the Fab Four themselves and more about how the introduction of new media often forces subtle changes in other areas of life.
