Asch, Michael and Robert Wiznura. “Animal Songs (Program #7)” Smithsonian Folkways: Sounds to Grow On podcast, 17 July 2009. MP3, 58:06.
In this show, host Michael Asch jumps into the world of animal sounds and songs about animals. Of course there are many songs about animals. But Michael’s father Moe Asch, the founder of Folkways Records, also released a number of recordings of animal sounds. Michael Asch pairs a song about an animal with the sounds of the animal, all from the wide ranging Folkways Records catalogue.
Smithsonian Folkways: Sounds to Grow On is a co-production of Smithsonian Folkways and CKUA Radio Network featuring selected original recordings of Folkways Records, the company founded by Moses Asch in 1948 to document folk, world, and children’s music. The show is hosted by Michael Asch and researched by Robert Wiznura.
