Ways of Mankind-Adult Discussion Series


Ways of Mankind-Adult Discussion Series [pdf for info!] It was one of the first programs produced by the NAEB with a $300,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. The NAEB was an early attempt at a public radio network similar to today's National Public Radio.  After  "Ways of Mankind" was recorded at the CBC studios in Toronto, the shows were duplicated on reel to reel tape and sent to stations around the country, mostly non-profit broadcasters associated with colleges and universities.
