Dead Kennedys, Butthole Surfers, Reptile House and United Mutation at WUST Radio Hall, Washington D.C.,April 29, 1985.
First was a fantastic pair of conversations with Albert Churella on the history of the Pennsylvania Railroad company from 1917 to its unceremonious demise following its disastrous merger with New York Central at the Hagley Museum and Library. This has it all - corporate strategy, industry dynamics, fascinating government deals, crazy M&A, and the genesis of the Amtrak system. Highly recommend
