Welcome to our 150th episode! Connie Currie is back to bring us the story of the Telefunken site in West Sayville and how she and a dedicated band of radio enthusiasts tried to save it back in the mid-90s, how they failed, and how out of the ashes the Long Island Radio & Television Historical Society (LIRTVHS) was formed.
You'll also hear from filmmaker Joe Sikorski on his new documentary, Invisible Threads: From Wireless to War. LIRTVHS has been working with Joe to bring the Telefunken story to the big screen and that day has arrived. This Friday, November 12th, you can attend a sneak preview at Lessing's Bourne Mansion in Oakdale. (Tickets available online only here).
It's a story of technological innovation, of espionage, local, national, and international politics, and more. It features Marconi, Tesla, Armstrong, the Secret Service, Suffolk County News editor Francis Hoag, and a cast of thousands. Plus - it's all narrated by the great Tony Todd.
This episode is a cross-over with The Radio Tower #36, the official podcast of LIRTVHS.
We hope to see you on the 12th!
