Got An Hour To Kill?

Link: binnall of america : audio.

A few weeks ago I did a radio interview with Tim Binall for his "Binall of America" website. 

It's an ultrarare alternative history episode of BoA : Audio, as Paul Schatzkin joins the program to discuss his book, "The Boy Who Invented Television", the amazing story of Philo T. Farnsworth, who first thought of television as a farmboy and developed the invention from mere concept to the first working electric television, kicking off the television revolution in America. We follow the entire fascinating story that reads like a Hollywood movie, complete with a gang of underdog inventors, battles with big business, and the birth of a new era in media : the television.

You can download the entire conversation, about an hour and fifteen minutes' worth, in two parts.
