Holmspun Medicine Show Programs

1 audiocassette

The Holmspun Medicine Show Audiocassettes and Compact Discs consist of audio recordings of the Holmspun Medicine Show radio program and related medical segments produced primarily during the 1990s and early 2000s. The collection includes numerous episodes recorded on audiocassette and later compact disc formats, documenting the development and broadcast of the program from approximately 1994 through 2006. Programs are generally organized by episode number and broadcast date, with many recordings containing two sequential weekly programs per tape or disc.

The recordings capture a wide range of health and medical topics presented through interviews, discussions, and informational segments intended for a public radio audience. Episodes frequently feature physicians, health professionals, and other guests discussing medical conditions, treatments, preventive care, and current health issues. Related recordings include interviews with public officials and health policy discussions, such as segments with Senator Larry Pressler and Senator Tom Daschle concerning health care reform. Additional materials include promotional recordings, demonstration tapes, interviews, and special segments such as Holmspun Medical Tips.

The collection documents the production and dissemination of a regional medical information program and provides insight into public health communication through radio broadcasting. The recordings illustrate how medical knowledge and health policy topics were communicated to general audiences through media programming during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
