The Radio Scripts

Contributing Essayists:

The vast majority of the scripts are by John Lienhard. However, more than twenty other people have contributed scripts to this series since late 2001. A complete list of contributors may be found at http://www.uh.edu/engines/contributors.html.

Three contributors are now providing material on a regular basis:

• Operations research scientist Andy Boyd
• Classicist Richard Armstrong
• Musician Roger Kaza

 

Any attempt to list all the people who have contributed to the labor of developing scripts would be hopeless because the extent of good will on the part of friends and listeners has been so great. But a few general statements are in order.

John Lienhard needs to thank Carol Lienhard who has critically read almost every episode with a fine ear for what will work and what will not. She has also provided a vast effort in locating material. Most of this help is unacknowledged in the scripts.

Countless colleagues at the University of Houston have contributed helpful criticism and ideas. Only some of this is acknowledged in the scripts. Listeners provide a steady flow of interaction and commentary — more than is possible to cope with adequately or to acknowledge properly. However, it has always exerted a formative, if indirect, influence on the series.

Finally, the extensive contributions of ideas, sources, graphics, and other substantive material by members of the University of Houston Libraries are gratefully noted within individual episodes. But, beyond that, many members of the Library have generously read scripts critically and contributed widely varied expertise. Only a fraction of that effort is properly acknowledged in the scripts.
