Looking for recording of 1939 WJJD interview with my grandmother and great grandmother

J

jeffnosanov

Hello. My grandmother and great grandmother were interviewed by Dr. Charles Copeland Smith on February 26th, 1939 in a program called "Interview with two german refugees." It would mean the world to my mother and I if an audio recording could be found. I would love to get any ideas of where to look for a possible audio recording. I have a transcript but am not able to upload it. I can provide it by email if request.

Thank you,

Jeff
 
I would assume that, if a recording exists, it would be in a public archive such as a university or library, or in the possession of an heir to Dr. Smith. Or possibly acquired by a private collector from such an heir.

The fact that a transcript exists suggests that a recording existed at one time, because I don't think anyone was taking transcripts in real-time as standard practice.
