Speaking of Open Letters...

Sarah Vowell, whose radio stroy Shooting Dad we feature in an early class, also contributed to this online 'zine -- read Sarah's Open Letter American Dream, a letter on patriotism and The Patriot.

And then there is the Canadian (CBC) "Lost and Found Sound" site. This series originated on the CBC's This Morning program, and also aired on American NPR. The series ended several years ago. In the words of the site's producers: "Think of Lost & Found Sound as a quest: a pilgrimage for auditory archives. Throughout the 1999/2000 season, This Morning asked for your help to uncover sounds that had been lost, misplaced, or left for extinct. We heard audio treasures that had never been heard over the public airwaves, and some that had once been broadcast and then forgotten. "
