Vietnam on Tape
Bullock Texas State History Museum
“The podcast uses a truly unique object, a 19-minute audiotape recorded in the Vietnam war to unlock a personal, intimate story about and by the man who lived and recorded it, Texas native and historian Jim Kearny. During this beautiful five-episode story, we grow close to Jim and his story, which is both uniquely Texan, American, and universal. The reviewers felt that this story couldn’t have been better brought to life than through the intimate and personal medium of a podcast and its potential to reach both a local and worldwide audience.”
