POPULARITY
Of course, medium length is being used subjectively here, and perhaps it's because this length of book makes up most of the published books in the world, but still, it seems that people don't often discuss their favorites that are specifically between 300-500 pages. So on today's episode, that's exactly what we do!

It is a new year, which means that the “Highway of Diamonds” that takes us back 60 years – the 60th anniversary is the diamond anniversary – now takes us back to a new destination: 1963. Visit the pivotal developments of Bob Dylan's professional life in January of 1963...60 years ago to the month. The year begins with Dylan in London, rehearsing for the BBC television play authored by Evan Jones: MADHOUSE ON CASTLE STREET, performing in London clubs, and interviewed by Ronnie Gilbert for THE SCENE. On January 4, the taping for MADHOUSE ON CASTLE STREET occurs, wherein Dylan appears as Bobby the Hobo. The next day he flies to Rome where he attends an Odetta concert, performs at a folk music club, and visits the Catacombs; he records with Richard Fariña, Eric Von Schmidt, and Ethan Signer back in London; he returns to NYC and reunites with Suze Rotolo after a seven-month absence; he records with Happy Traum for Broadside Records, and he performs his new song "Masters of War" for Izzy Young and Alan Lomax in Lomax's NYC apartment while a tape recorder is running. Other new songs this month include "Girl from the North Country" and "Boots of Spanish Leather." In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we bring you news from the world of Bob Dylan, both in January of 1963 and early 2023. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote and tell us who did "Masters of War" better: Bob Dylan in Alan Lomax's apartment in January of 1963 or Judy Collins a few months later in 1963 for her third album?

Entrevista a los paleontólogos de la Facultad de Ciencias y PEDECIBA, Richard Fariña y Sebastián Tambusso. Los entrevistados nos cuentan en detalle el yacimiento paleontológico del arroyo del Vizcaíno, en el departamento de Canelones. Un lugar increíble en el que cada metro cúbico de lodo guarda secretos de un pasado que también podría ser el de los primeros habitantes de este suelo.
Un nuevo libro irrumpe en las estanterías de las librerías, en la sección de historia. "Viajes por nuestra tierra" presenta y comenta tres viajes por nuestro país en el siglo XIX: Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga, Arséne Isabelle y Charles Darwin. Un uruguayo, un francés y un inglés. Tres viajeros, con tres perfiles disímiles y tres perspectivas distintas sobre nuestro país. Recibiremos a Magdalena Perandones, autora de uno de los artículos. Con la participación especial de Richard Fariña y carina Erchini.
El paleontólogo uruguayo Richard Fariña explicó que mas de 2000 huesos de megafauna fueron encontrados en el yacimiento del arroyo del Vizcaíno; muchos con marcas de herramientas humanas de más de 30 mil años de antigüedad, lo que duplica la edad de la teoría de Clovis. El sitio paleontológico del Arroyo del Vizcaíno, cerca de la localidad de Sauce, Uruguay, cuenta una historia de mamíferos gigantes ya desaparecidos, con el particular agregado de posible evidencia de una muy antigua presencia humana.

Desde 1997, cuando se encontraron los primeros restos de un perezoso gigante que databan de hace cerca de 10.000 años, el arroyo Vizcaíno es uno de los sitios paleontológicos en los que trabaja el equipo de megafauna de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de la República. El paleontólogo Richard Fariña, integrante del equipo investigador, contó en SobreCiencia, que en los restos hay marcas que tienen las características de las que dejan las herramientas y eso es un evidencia muy sólida de presencia humana en la zona del yacimiento.
Ein literarisches Quartett! In der vierten Folge von »Steidl Wörtlich« lauschen wir dem Schauspieler und begnadeten Vorleser Robert Stadlober, wie er am Aschermittwoch im Valentin Stüberl in Berlin Richard Fariñas Counter-Culture-Klassiker »Been down so long it looks like up to me« auf so furiose Weise zum Leben erweckte, dass es Fariña gefallen hätte, würde er noch leben. Doch wer war dieser Fariña überhaupt? So cool, dass Thomas Pynchon an der Uni zu ihm aufschaute, musikalisch so begnadet, dass Bob Dylan mit ihm auf der Bühne stand und als Schriftsteller so wild, dass DOORS-Sänger Jim Morrison ihn zu seinen Lieblingsautoren zählte. Bei einem Motorradunfall starb Fariña 1966 mit nur 29 Jahren, zwei Tage, nachdem sein erster und einziger Roman veröffentlicht worden war. Der allerdings hat es in sich und lässt die Gegenwartsliteratur ziemlich blass aussehen. Die deutsche Übersetzung von Dirk van Gunsteren hat 392 Seiten und kostet € 28,00. Weitere Infos zu Richard Fariña und seinem Roman finden Sie auf unserer Website: https://steidl.de Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steidlverlag Facebook: https://de-de.facebook.com/SteidlInternational/

Richard Fariña gehört zu den großen Unbekannten der modernen US-amerikanischen Literatur, gleichzeitig genießt der Autor, der nur den Roman „Been down so long it looks like up to me“ geschrieben hat, einen Kultstatus, weil eben jener autobiographisch gefärbte Text, der vom Aufbegehren der Studenten im autoritären Unisystem handelt, formal und inhaltlich Grenzen überschreitet.| Steidl Verlag, 392 Seiten, 28 Euro.| Carsten Otte im Gespräch mit Moritz Scheper, Autor des Nachworts zur dt.

028 We spoke with legendary award-winning singer-songwriter Judy Collins about her good friend Richard Fariña. We also explored the importance of Judy Collins' Fifth Album in introducing the dulcimer in the mid-1960s. With additional commentary by Neal Hellman and readings from Richard Fariña's cousin Omar Lugones.
022 The well-known luthier Rick Turner shares personal stories about Richard and Mimi Fariña and how his luthier skills led him to become part of dulcimer history that was almost forgotten.
023 Ed Freeman was part of the Cambridge folk music scene in the early 60s and interviewed Richard and Mimi Fariña on his radio show in 1965. We spoke with Ed about this and much more.
Richard Fariña was well known in music and literary circles in New York in the 1960’s. He was a regular visitor to his Irish relations in Ardboe, Co. Tyrone in the 1950’s. He was on the cusp of greatness 50 years ago when his life was cut short. Tracing Fariña’s footsteps from his old haunts in NY to his family by the banks of Lough Neagh. (2016)
005 We focus on the melodic and rhythmically complex music Fariña created on his dulcimer and explore how his heritage and world travels influenced his music. We talk with Fariña's relatives, people he knew, and two dulcimer players he influenced. We present intimate stories and letters from him to show how his music was ultimately the result of his zest for life.
