September 06, 2006Can I get a tape of a speech I heard on Midday?
I heard part of David McCullough's "Why is History so Important? " on Midday August 30, 2006. I wanted to hear the rest. Will it be rebroadcast or can I purchase a tape recording of the program? Thanks!

Dear Alice, Any speech you hear on "Midday" can be found again at (predictably enough) the "Midday" page of our web site http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/programs/midday/. The "Midday" archives go back several years. Here's the link to the David McCullough speech:
Midday, 08/30/2006, 12:06 p.m.
Distribution of tapes and transcripts is up to the organization that sponsored that particular speech. Some outfits, like the National Press Club and the Chatauqua Institution, sell tapes as a matter of course. Other organizations apparently feel that demand is too feeble to justify producing tapes.
Tapes are not available for in-studio interviews.
The McCullough speech was to the Aspen Institute. Aspen doesn't sell tapes, but a limited number of DVD copies are available. Contact Alexa Law at 202-736-3845 for more information.
