Description

See more of Phil’s TV Dreamland here. You can learn more about Philo T. Farnsworth here. I also recommend Jeff Kisseloff’s excellent oral history of the early days of television, “The Box.” Music by Podington Bear: * “Puzzler” * “QuasarGroove” * “Towl” * “Hard Won” * “Crow” * “Wellness” Thanks to Phil Savenick and Janis Hirsch.
