Âmbito e conteúdo
"Focus: America" radio talk show was created by Richard (Ric) Arenstein and Larry Wallenstein, both juniors in the Communications Department, University of Miami in 1975. The show originally started as a local program "Focus: Miami" and was produced at the UM's campus radio station WVUM-FM where Arenstein interviewed local personalities and celebrities visiting Miami.
After the successful first season, the tapes of the talk show were mailed to more than 70 college stations across the country under the name "Focus: America." In his senior year, Arenstein and his new associate, Chuck Bortunick, traveled under a grant from the Burger King Corp. to tape interviews of celebrities in other parts of the country. The show ended because of Arenstein's graduation.
Sistema de arranjo
The original tapes 1 - 22 are arranged according to production or air dates in 1975. Tapes 23 - 32 are only dated as Spring 1976, number 1 to 10. Tapes 33 to 43 do not have dates and are numbered 1 - 11. We assume they were produced in fall 1976.
There are 43 DVDs that hold mp3 and WAV versions of the original content, which were all professionally remastered and digitized.
