Blank on Blank: Lost Interviews

I love the thought of lost interviews existing. I don't really know if that's weird or not, but the thought of these conversations happening, being recorded, and somehow being misplaced, or regarded as too intimate for airtime, too angry, too simple, and hitting the cutting room floor really appeals to me.

It helps that PBS has been running a series on it too, animating snippits of audio conversations with everyone from authors to athletes to actors. It makes for a pretty magical listening experience.

There's some really funny ones, like this one with  Larry King on being seduced as a 23-year-old radio dj, and some totally gorgeous ones, like this one with Louis Armstrong being interviewed by a highschool paper and Kurt Cobain on identity. I've included my favourite ones below though, from Maurice Sendak talking about childhood and Bette Davis on being a woman, and more. Take the time to have a listen. You won't regret it.
