I love it when folks share vintage college radio documentaries with me and the latest to make its way to my inbox is a circa 1992 look at Rice University’s KTRU. It’s wonderfully post-modern, with nods to 2001: A Space Odyssey and some clever usage of expert interviews. The discussion of the station’s former hair dryer-scale wattage was particularly entertaining.
