Audio recordings of Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

On a related note: I can't find it in the old archives for some reason, but
I think I mentioned here six or seven years ago that Wolfe once appeared on
the late Tom Snyder's old, late night "Tomorrow" TV show with Harlan Ellison
and Azimov. Back in the 1980s, I think. I wasn't able to find a copy at the
time I mentioned it here (if I did), but Wolfe said that that episode was
replayed from time to time on cable TV. I wonder if anyone else here ever
saw it. Better yet, does anyone here have a copy or know where to get one?
