Historic Knoxville News #1: A Night on the Bowery

Here is the first in a new podcast series based on readings of old Knoxville newspapers. This article is "A Night on the Bowery," published in The Journal and Tribune, Sunday, July 8, 1900. One of the Library's fine actors, Robby Griffith, reads the article, after which Knox County Historian and librarian Steve Cotham provides the historical context. You can read a transcript of the article (as arranged for recording) here. Special thanks for the music performed by Music Therapy, recorded at the Time Warp.

You can download the recording here or subscribe for free to get new episodes automatically downloaded so you can listen whenever and wherever you want.
