Today, TVs are not just ubiquitous, they're everywhere. But in the 1940s, television was an expensive, new gadget that very few households owned. When the World Series was televised for the first time in 1947, only 44,000 TV sets were in use in the entire U.S. In 1948, only ten percent of Americans had ever even seen a television program. The only thing more scarce than TV sets was TV programming. Radio had been widely adopted for decades, with over 40 million sets in use in the late 1940s. So, the majority of talent and advertising money was still going into radio. In addition, television was so new that no one had really figured out what to do on TV yet. In just a few years, skyrocketing viewership would cause radio hits like Dragnet and Jack Benny to move to television. But in its infancy, many early TV shows weren't much more than radio with a picture. The traditional radio music program was adapted to TV by simply showing the musicians playing their instruments. That was a TV show. And, it was pretty amazing stuff by 1940s standards. A music show that premiered during those pioneering days of television was Korla Pandit's Adventures In Music. It was broadcast out of KTLA in Los Angeles beginning in February 1949 and had more of a hook than your average music program. Pandit was Indian musical prodigy born in New Delhi. He played exotic themes on a Hammond organ or a piano (sometimes playing both instruments at once). As he played, the turban-clad musician gazed wistfully, directly into the camera. His only communication with the viewer was through his transe-like stare and what he called "the universal language of music." He never spoke on the show. What at first glance seems like a simple music program became something wildly exotic and otherworldly. Pandit's organ arrangements were accompanied by dark lighting, slow came00:56:00Barracuda RadionoIndia,musicKorla Pandit Documentary Director John Turnerhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/06/26/drummer-comedian-jon-wursterAutomotivehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/06/26/drummer-comedian-jon-wurster/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/06/26/drummer-comedian-jon-wursterFri, 26 Jun 2015 08:00:00 GMTDrummer & Comedian Jon WursterAs a musician, Jon Wurster is best-known as the drummer for Superchunk, The Mountain Goats, New ographers and The Bob Mould Band. He's also half of the comedy team Scharpling and Wurster. Tom Scharpling was the host of a radio show which originally aired on WFMU. Scharpling and Wurster struck up a friendship, and Wurster started regularly calling into Scharpling's radio show, voicing different characters. The Best Show aired for 13 years, and an exhaustive collection of the show's shenanigans featuring Wurster's crazy personnas, has just been released as a box set. We talk to Wurster about his early days in the Philly punk scene in the 1980s, becoming a professional musician and coping with life on the road. Wurster also reveals the surprising inspiration for the voice of one of his most notorious Best Show characters, Philly Boy Roy. 00:55:00Barracuda RadionoDrummer & Comedian Jon Wursterhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/05/10/mad-men-behind-the-lensAutomotivehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/05/10/mad-men-behind-the-lens/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/barracuda/2015/05/10/mad-men-behind-the-lensSun, 10 May 2015 05:40:17 GMTMad Men: Behind The LensThe groundbreaking TV show Mad Men is now in its final season.
