WHYY, Inc. would like to invite you to the first ever Fresh Air Archive Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

Since its debut, in 1976, Fresh Air with Terry Gross has consistently been one of public radio's most popular programs. Each week, millions of people listen to the show's insightful conversations with the leading voices in contemporary arts and issues. The program reaches a global audience, with over 620 public radio stations broadcasting Fresh Air, and 3 million podcast downloads each week.

In 2015 January, WHYY received a grant from the Council_on_Library_and_Information_Resources (CLIR) to enhance the metadata of 8,000 Fresh Air shows that aired between 1976 through 2015, and to make those shows available for research and scholarship through Worldcat.

Participants at the edit-a-thon

The Fresh Air archives project team, in collaboration with partners at Drexel University and TelVue Corporation, has created a metadata application profile based on PBCore 2.0 schema and designed an asset management system that will store the entire Fresh Air collection in a single location with a logical structure. We are currently exporting the database records to Worldcat for public access, with direct links to the audio files.

The Fresh Air CLIR project lays the groundwork for creating new tools and opportunities for the public to explore and interact with the entirety of the Fresh Air archives. We not only envision our audience listening to the end results, but actively helping us enhance the way the archive can be discovered and shared with new audiences. Enhancing the archive through metadata ensures it will be preserved, accessible, and listened to for decades to come.
