NPR’s Vietnam: Radio First Termer
The Award Winning 1987 Radio Documentary Of
Bill Lichtenstein
This has really been an amazing month for me. First, finding a complete version of the only existing Saigon, Vietnam Show that was recorded back in January 1971, then receiving from a fan a complete one hour NPR broadcasted documentary radio show that showcases historical audio archives of Hanoi Hanna, Adrian Cronauer, Dave Rabbit, just to name a few. It explores how radio was used by the enemy for propaganda, our own government in the “hearts and minds concept” and the eventual pirate radio era when the troops had enough of the bullshit and lies and wanted just a few simple truths. You are going to hear some audio that has not been heard for 20 YEARS since the original broadcast back in 1987 and up to 40 YEARS when the archived audio was originally transmitted the very first time. For those of you that were there... it is a great trip full of memories. For those of you that weren’t, it will give you an insightful perspective to what Vietnam was really like and how the simple media of radio.... changed the war. They talk about me, Radio First Termer and some other of my brother pirate radio broadcasters during the second segment, about 48 minutes into the broadcast. By the way, Bill Lichtenstein so loved the name of my show, he named the documentary after it. Thanks Bill!
