These soundbites are pulled from the new radio special Woodstock: 40 Years On – Back to Yasgur’s Farm. The program is a co-production of World Cafe, Media Mechanics, Ben Manilla Productions, and Rhino Records. The program will air on more than 400 radio stations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Australia starting this weekend.

If you are interested in airing the special, it can be digitally delivered in time for this weekend’s anniversary. Contact Paul at pmarszalek@media-mechanics.com

In the meantime, use these clips to spice up morning shows, newscasts, and the like. These are all brand new interviews, reflecting on Woodstock’s 40th Anniversary, courtesy of TheTop22.com and the program producers.

(If you want to be nice, drop a mention or two of Rhino’s 6-disc box set with tons of previously unreleased material, called Woodstock: 40 Years On – Back to Yasgur’s Farm.)
