"DEAL" (MP4, runtime 1:35:36) - this feature-length documentary film gives a behind-the-scenes look at "Let's Make A Deal," an enormously popular American television game show from the 1970s. Recorded on 35mm film by crews led by Jeff Vaughn (producer) and John Schott (editor), the project was my idea. DEAL was released in 1977 by Document/CB Films. It enjoyed some success ("Critics' Choice" awards at the Toronto and London film festivals, plus a few weeks in selected east- and west-coast theaters) but then our distributor went bankrupt and "Let's Make A Deal" was cancelled by the ABC Television network, so interest in the subject waned. Nevertheless, the film remained available on video cassette, DVD and Netflix. The (low-resolution) copy here was downloaded from YouTube.
"The Truth Behind Radio Truth" (MP3, runtime 4:04) - for Radio Netherlands World Service's "Media Network" program: my investigation into who was behind Radio Truth, a clandestine radio station broadcasting into Zimbabwe from South Africa. Originally aired on 26 November 1986.
"Off the Hook" (MP3, runtime 39:00) - I was Eric Corley's guest on his program on WBAI-FM (New York, 27 February 1991), talking about some of the strange sounds that can be heard on shortwave.
The first half of this "Media Network" program (originally aired by RNWS on 14 November 1991) includes an interview with me recorded just after I moved to Prague, about the local radio scene and my new job as radio director at the Center for Independent Journalism. The interview is split into short segments so it could be mixed with other source material.
"Against Media Art" (MP4, runtime 78:41) - most of this talk at the Vasulka Kitchen in Brno (25 November 2021) was about my work in radio, television, film and Internet. But there are some comments about media art, too.
"How One Man Took on the Russian Woodpecker" - Lewis Ringway's video about my campaign in the 1980s to stop radio interference caused by a group of pulse radars in the Soviet Union. The Woodpecker Project climaxed in a worldwide monitoring effort that led to a report I presented at the ITU's Administrative Radio Conference in Geneva in 1987.
"WiFi-5G Convergence" (MP4, runtime 16:20) - my contribution to an online webinar organized by RCR Wireless News to discuss a report I co-authored for the European Commission on fixed/mobile network convergence (10 July 2018).
"Open Spectrum in India" (MP4, runtime 8:19) - interview recorded by Frederick Noronha at an outdoor restaurant in Goa in January 2010. The pictures are dark and the other diners are noisy, but the sound is clear and the content is good.
