Legendary radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized late night FM radio by serving as a cultural hub for music, politics and audience participation for nearly 50 years. Long before today’s innovations in social media, Fass utilized the airwaves for mobilization encouraging luminaries and ordinary listeners to talk openly and take the program in surprising directions. Radio Unnameable is a visual and aural collage that pulls from Bob Fass’s immense archive of audio from his program, film, photographs, and video that has been sitting dormant until now.
“The man who turned free-form radio into an art form.” – Jon Kalish, Current Magazine
“An icon of free-speech radio… his legacy, and his archives, are as epic as the medium gets… extraordinary archival material and some sparkling footage of New York.”
– John Anderson, Variety
“…Vivid clarity and impeccable timing…
It can make you wish – or, if you’re lucky, remember
– that you were a sleepless New Yorker in 1967,
kept from loneliness by a gentle, soulful voice on the radio.”
- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
