Last week, I posted my interview with Dr. Michael Socolow as both video (for paid subscribers) and audio (for everyone), but I am realizing that the audio is not super intuitive to find (there’s a little icon of headphones on the left). So I’m reposting the audio now, so it is available to everyone.
I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Michael Socolow, a professor in the Communications and Journalism Department at the University of Maine.
An expert on the history of radio, he is also the author of a book on the 1936 Olympics, Six Minutes in Berlin Broadcast Spectacle and Rowing Gold at the Nazi Olympics.
We had a great conversation that touched on a number of fascinating tidbits:
What Americans did and didn’t know about Nazi Germany in the 1930s
One of the greatest scoops in the history of journalism
Evading censorship in Nazi Germany
The revolution in German radio in the 1930s
The challenges of getting rich as an author in mid-century America
Socolow’s own adventures covering three Olympic games
Starting his own career covering the O.J. Simpson trial
