This SoundTheology online archive is an independent service of Audio-Rescue.com, provided in conjunction with the United Methodist General Commission on Archives and History (GCAH). Many of these programs would have been lost forever if not saved in this project. The originating institutions have made the recordings available for public access to further private study, scholarship, and research. They retain the rights to the recordings.

This audio collection has been chosen for inclusion in the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force Sound Collection Database.

Randomly-chosen Program From This Collection:

Description: Jean Houston (1937- ) is a scholar, lecturer, author, mind researcher, and philosopher. She believes that humans have yet to achieve their God-given potential. While participating in a U.S. Government sanctioned research project on the effects of LSD (before such research was banned,) Houston became acquainted with Robert Masters, a writer and a researcher into the varieties of human behavior and potentials. The two married in 1965 and soon became known for their work in the Human Potential Movement. Together they founded The Foundation for Mind Research. The radio program, "Scan," was nationally-syndicated, airing in the U.S. and around the world from 1975 to 1991. This program features first-person stories of individuals who share their lived-out wisdom.
