Kitchen Table Conversations

Item set

Title: Kitchen Table Conversations
Description: Kitchen Table Conversations (KTC) began as a live radio segment of the Sunday Review show, hosted by Gary Wickham on WUOW. KTC was hosted by Alan Donovan, former SUNY Oneonta college president, and produced by Mark Simonson. Along with a live broadcast, the purpose of the program was to create an oral archive of those interviewed, which numbered over 100 during the radio show (with more added after the show ended). Not strictly speaking oral histories, the notion was to capture individuals telling their own stories, recording their personal, professional and community accomplishments -- with the personalization of their own voices. Interviewees have included Oneonta, NY-area business and political leaders, medical professionals, artists, educators, and other individuals of interest both from Otsego and Delaware Counties. All of these interviews should be of interest to those living in this area for years to come: they capture the sense of an individual’s life in a way which vitally preserves his/her experiences and contributions.
