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.
