A Thanksgiving Tradition: The 2004 Third Coast Festival Broadcast
A Thanksgiving Tradition: The 2004 Third Coast Festival Broadcast
Chosen from more than hundreds of entries from around the world, these programs represent some of the best documentary work being produced today. As part of a new, public radio tradition, many stations air the Third Coast Festival Broadcast on Thanksgiving weekend. The stories, sounds, and voices in the Festival broadcast are a great companion during long holiday weekends, and celebrate the best that public radio has to offer.
This year’s host is five-time Peabody Award-winning producer Jay Allison. In the 2004 TCF Broadcast, Jay Allison will present the festival’s winning work, including the gold award for Best Documentary, Best New Artist, Radio Impact and Lifetime Achievement awards. The program will also feature interviews with the honorees, who will give listeners a peek behind the scenes into the making of their winning work. Other highlights include a retrospective look at the year’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner (TBA) and excerpts from the emotion-packed awards ceremony held in Chicago this fall. This two-hour special is produced by Ben Shapiro for the Third Coast Festival and Public Radio International.
