A Different Kind of Stop On the Infinite Dial

Written Oct. 19, 2007 by Larry Rosin in Content with 0 Comments

As it says on our site, "We are fans of great radio." Well maybe that should be changed, because we are really fans of the extraordinary power of great audio.

I was searching for something else, and ended up finding this site: www.americanrhetoric.com.

You have simply got to check this site out. On it are mp3 and often videos of the greatest speeches of the last 100 years. Some of my personal favorites, like Reagan's speech (written by Peggy Noonan) delivered after the Challenger disaster -- some of the most incredible words you will ever hear. Of course Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, and also check Bobby Kennedy's genius speech given the night of MLK's assasination.

You can enjoy hours of 'audio entertainment' on this site.

As the site says on their masthead: "Rationalize rhetoric and it speaks to your mind; personify her and she speaks to your soul."
