Question regarding Audio Lecture Volumes

Post by tbille »

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Audio Lecture Volumes.
In how far do the Lecture Volumes overlap with the Audio Series ?
Are they just putting 5 lectures of the Lecture Series together an then which one ?

Thank you and best regards.

Greetings tbille and welcome to the JCF Forums!

I forwarded your query to David Kudler, Managing Editor of the Foundation and here is his reply.
Each series is going to be approximately thirty lectures (Series II is going to be thirty-one). Each of the six volumes in Series I was five thematically collected lectures of a bit under an hour (we were licensing them to public radio stations — or trying to, and we needed to keep the number of lectures the same because of tape packaging constraints).

Series II is more free form; the first volume is eleven lectures, all recorded at Esalen in August, 1969 (right after the moon landing). The other four volumes will be five lectures each — some of them well over an hour, since we no longer need to worry about radio programming or physical packing constraints.
I hope that answers your question!

Cheers,
