From the Archives: Party Scenes (Originally Aired: 12/29/06)

Friday, September 25, 2009

Originally broadcast near New Years Eve, when people circulate and celebrate at social gatherings. They’re called parties, and as WNYC’s Sara Fishko tells us, nobody does parties better than the movies.


From the Archives: Sleepwalkers (Originall Aired: 1/19/07)

Friday, September 18, 2009

This episode of The Fishko Files originally aired just as Doug Aitken's Sleepwalkers opened at the Museum of Modern Art. The multi-screen, outdoor movie could be seen from various spots in midtown Manhattan -- and it had WNYC's Sara Fishko considering the role of 'accident' in our appreciation of artworks.


From the Archives: Portraits (Originally Aired 2/2/07)

Friday, September 11, 2009

In this archival episode from 2007, Sara Fishko is thinking about portraits, both visual and musical, and what they reveal.


From the Archives: Whistling (Originally Aired: 2/23/07)

Friday, September 04, 2009

Celebrated film composer Ennio Morricone's early film scores used whistling to great effect. So when he received a special Oscar a couple of years ago, Sara Fishko thought about whistling. In this episode of The Fishko Files, she notes that 'instrumental whistling' has a story all its own.
