Play Podcast    From the Archives: Moran on Monk (Originally Aired 10/10/07) (The Fishko Files: Friday, 10 October 2008)
Today marks the anniversary of the birth of one of the masters of American music, visionary pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. As WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us in this edition of the Fishko Files, listening to Monk’s music can be habit forming, as well as life-changing. It certainly was for Jason Moran.

Play Podcast    From the Archives: "Oppenheimer" (Originally Aired 10/7/05) (The Fishko Files: Friday, 03 October 2008)
When this Fishko Files first aired in October 2005, a new opera by John Adams and Peter Sellars about building the atomic bomb was having its first performances at the San Francisco Opera. The "Dr. Atomic" of its title is the physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and, as Sara Fishko tells us, Oppenheimer’s rise and fall has been the stuff of dramas of ALL kinds. How do we see him, more than six decades after the bomb was built? Here is an encore podcast of The Fishko Files...

Long before American Idol and the Amateur Hour, soprano Florence Foster Jenkins sang about as badly as anyone had ever sung in public. But people have been fascinated by her style and her story since her death 60 years ago. Sara Fishko asks: was she so bad she was good?

Play Podcast    From the Archives: 1938 Fight (Originally Aired 11/17/05) (The Fishko Files: Friday, 12 September 2008)
In June of 1938, two men battled in the ring for an audience of millions. At stake in a polarized America, says Sara Fishko, were the pride of a race, the principles of a Nation...and more.

Music and cartoons have a long and happy history together. But as WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us, sometimes what you hear in animation is the last music you’d ever expect! What does the Moonlight Sonata have to do with Elmer Fudd? Here's an encore of The Fishko Files...

Here is the next Fishko Files.

We'd have a harder time appreciating Mozart without the work of the mysterious figure whose "k." precedes all 626 of Mozart's works. Sara Fishko has the story of Kochel, cataloguer of genius.
