RADIO CURIOUS: LONG FORM INTERVIEWS ABOUT LIFE and IDEAS
Welcome to the 31st year of Radio Curious, now proudly part of the Library of Congress, and regularly broadcast on approximately 100 radio stations.
Here you will find close to 1000 half hour interviews on a curiously wide array of topics concerning life and ideas. These programs are a gift to you from Radio Curious host and producer Barry Vogel. He started Radio Curious in 1991, to expand the work he began in 1974 as an Attorney, Counselor and Mediator in Ukiah, California, the Mendocino County seat, located about 110 miles north of San Francisco, California
THIS WEEK’S INTERVIEW: My guest in this edition of Radio Curious is Domingo Sarmiento. Domingo Sarmiento, a teacher and later President of the Republic of Argentina, spent several years traveling in Europe and the United States in the mid-19th Century. He spent six weeks in the US in the fall of 1847 and later published his account of this visit, selectively interpreting what he saw and experienced to conform to his ideas. In this archive edition of Radio Curious, I visit with Domingo Sarmiento in the person of Professor Daniel Lewis, a scholar-presenter in the 1996 Democracy in America Chautauqua. I met with Domingo Sarmiento during a break in the Chautauqua programming in Ukiah, California, and asked him what he saw the future of the American Union to be, from his perspective in 1843.
Domingo Sarmiento recommends any book by James Fenimore Cooper. Daniel Lewis recommends “The Invention of Argentina,” by Nicolas Shumway.
