The AYP Centennial Radio Project

Three five-minute radio features from Harriet Baskas and Jack Straw Productions, broadcast on KUOW 94.9 FM and made possible with funding from Humanities Washington and 4Culture.

In 1909 the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition filled the grounds of what is now the University of Washington campus with impressive and innovative cultural, scientific and agricultural displays and shone a national spotlight on Seattle. These three radio stories explore several aspects of the fair: the music, the souvenirs, and some of the event’s lasting legacies and innovations.

Episode 3: Legacies of the AYP
