Hello, all!

I am trying to find anyone who has recordings of a radio program from 1982-1986 called The Famous Computer Cafe. This was broadcast on KIEV in Glendale, KFOX in Redondo Beach, and NPR through Santa Monica College (this one from around 1984-1985).

The program contained numerous interviews with all the movers and shakers of computers and software during that period, including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Jack Tramiel. As such, this show is of high historical importance. There was somewhere between 100 and 200 episodes all told.

I understand it was an extremely popular program among microcomputer hobbyists at the time, so was hoping someone from this group might have recordings. If you have any recordings or know someone who might, please let me know! I have contacted the show's hosts, but unfortunately, we have only been able to locate a handful of recordings.

Thank you!
