The Banjo on Record
The appeal of the banjo has been shown to be timeless and universal---adaptable to almost any form of popular music.

Saving New Sounds
Over seventy-five million Americans listen to podcasts every month, and the average weekly listener spends over six hours tuning into podcasts from the more than thirty million podcast episodes currently available.

Podcast feeds end abruptly, cease to be maintained, or become housed in proprietary databases, which are difficult to search with any rigor. Podcasts might seem to be highly available everywhere, but it’s necessary to preserve and analyze these resources now, or scholars will find themselves writing, researching,...

Melodiya
Knowledge of just what recordings of classical music have been issued in the Soviet Union has been very limited to date, since only a small number of such recordings have been licensed for production and sale by West European and American companies. . . . Bennett's discography of all LP recordings issued in Russia since 1951 is thus a valuable research tool for the serious record collector and music library. Choice
