Imagine a series
of richly layered stories, remarkable and haunting. Lost &
Found Sound, heard on NPR’s All Things Considered,
explores American life through recorded sound. These
richly layered tales chronicle people possessed by sound
who shaped the sonic landscape of the nation; home recordings
and historic broadcasts, unusual archival audio artifacts,
endangered sounds; sounds on the verge of extinction, vanishing
voices, the loss and the merging of languages -- how sound
shapes history, and history has been shaped by sound.
Created in 1999 with Jay Allison, this Peabody, Clarion &
Webby award winning series brought together some of the most
respected producers and storytellers in public radio with
artists from
a variety of mediums and NPR to create richly
textured stories that explore American life through recorded
sound. "Liberace & the Trinidad Tripoli Steel
Band," "French Manicure: Tales from Vietnamese
Nail Shops in America, "Cigar Stories”, "WHER:
1000 Beautiful Watts," Tony Schwartz: 30,000 Recordings
Later. These and more than 80 other Lost & Found
Sound stories can be heard online at www.lostandfoundsound.com

An
astounding documentary series.”

The Kitchen Sisters have done some of the best radio stories
ever broadcast. I know people who got into radio because they
heard Nikki and Davia s work, and had no idea anybody could
do anything like that on the air.
