"From atop the Loews State Theater Building, the B. Manischewitz Company, world's largest matzo bakers, happily presents Yiddish Melodies in Swing..."
Sapoznik spent the next seventeen years searching for more surviving discs. Most had been melted down during WWII scrap-metal drives, others had disintegrated, but he found over a thousand, in attics, storerooms, even dumpsters. Each fragile artifact was a one-of-a-kind window into Jewish immigrant culture during the first half of the 20th century. Searing dramas, swinging music, news programs, advice and game shows, man-on-the-street interviews, commercials, and shtick leaped to life after decades of silence.
Lovingly restored, with translations performed by a cast including Carl Reiner, Eli Wallach, and Yiddish stars, the Yiddish Radio Project is a journey through time to a lost world that is intimate, passionate, raucous and utterly fascinating.

Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Historia
The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

While most of us are familiar with the Underground Railroad, there was much more to the movement than helping individuals escape their bondage. In the eight lectures of The Abolitionists, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson of Wellesley College will bring you along as she traces the history of the fight to end slavery in America, from its relatively quiet origins to the turning point at Harper’s Ferry to the Civil War.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Uneven but fun look at Yiddish radio
Any additional comments?
This could have been much more than it is, but even so, it is a fun way to spend a few hours.
It consists of clips from old radio shows that featured Yiddish speaking entertainers (in both Yiddish and English), mostly from the New York metropolitan area. It is a visit to a nostalgic place that has mostly vanished, but which gave rise to two generations of Jewish entertainers.
Try it -- you'll like it.

Time travel
This provided a virtual reality experience of the world in which my father grew up. He came to the US at age 11 from a shtetl in Belarus in 1921. During my life I just heard faint whispers from that world. Whispers used for communication I was not to understand and from which I slowly learned a few words in Yiddish. I don't remember enough to understand much of the program, but the overlays by Yiddish speaking celebrities made it both easy and fun to follow. I highly recommend this program to anyone whose life
experience in any way overlaps mine.

I Laughed, I Cried, I Kvelled
Here is a new world, a world that I had never known about before I had heard of this project. Here is Yiddish radio in America. Here is Eastern European Jewish New York. Here are stations whose power was so low that they could not be heard outside of the neighborhood. Here is a popular song that became a worldwide hit for many performers that the composer sold for $30. Here are commercials and jingles caught in the consciousness of tens of thousands of people. Here is the Shoah. Here is rabbinic court radio. Here is gut-wrenching drama. Here is avant-garde poetry and socialism, wealth and poverty. Here is a new thing under the sun, yet familiar as the ancient scriptures of most American faiths. Most highly recommended.

Who Cares?
Scott Simon, as any NPR listener knows, is an intelligent, articulate guy. Unfortunately, he apparently fails to realize that almost no one cares about Yiddish Radio. I, and I'm confident, many other listeners tuned out this program when it ran on NPR. Public radio content should be eclectic, but should meet some standard for potential listener interest. New York is not the whole world despite the confusion of many New Yorkers.
