Lost and Found Sound

On January 1, 1999, All Things Considered aired the first in a series of richly layered stories that trace the soundtrack of the 20th century. Broadcast weekly through 1999, continuing monthly through 2000, Lost Found Sound chronicles, reflects, and celebrates the human experience in rare recordings and sonic snapshots submitted by listeners. Blending the historic with the everyday, the monumental with the personal, this is evocative, haunting, eclectic listeningendangered sounds, shifting accents, vanishing voices, home recordings, and audio artifacts that reveal a sense of place and mark the passage of time.
