Radio Unnameable - WBAI Studios, New York City, March 28, 1963

So long to to Bob Fass, host of WBAI’s Radio Unnameable — one of the original late-night underground DJs who in no small way helped reinvent radio in the 1960s. “I’d put anyone on, because the idea was if you didn’t like what I was doing, three minutes later I’d be doing something else,” Fass said. You can get a sense of that madcap spirit in this spring 1963 episode of Radio Unnameable, which features all kinds of anarchy — including a drop-in from Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo. Bob (going under a variety of pseudonyms like Rory Grossman, Rumple Billy Burp, Elvis Bickel and Rog Rugster) doesn’t perform here, but he does debut a few tunes off of the then-unreleased Freewheelin’ LP via acetate. Otherwise, Bob, Bob and Suze improvise several goofy skits packed with folkie in-jokes and surrealist humor. A fun night in NYC ... (For another fun night, here’s some of the better-known Dylan appearance in 1966.)

: RADIO UNNAMEABLE

Legendary radio personality Bob Fass revolutionized late night FM radio by serving as a cultural hub for music, politics and audience participation for nearly 50 years. Long before today's innovations in social media, Fass utilized the airwaves for mobilization encouraging luminaries and ordinary listeners to talk openly and take the program in surprising directions. Fass and his committed group of friends, peers, and listeners proved time and time again through massive, planned meetups and other similar events that radio was not a solitary experience but rather a platform to unite communities of like-minded, or even just open-minded, individuals without the dependence on large scale corporate backing.

"Radio Unnameable" is a visual and aural collage that pulls from Bob Fass's immense archive of audio from his program, film, photographs, and video that has been sitting dormant until now. Revealing the underexposed world of independent radio, the film illustrates the intimate relationship Fass and, by extension, WBAI formed with their listeners that were strong enough to maintain the station's role as one of the most successful listener-sponsored programs in the United States.
