Provenance information from Adi Gevins in correspondence to Holly Larson, 2013-09-11: All programs were played on all Pacifica Radio Stations, many affiliates, and many other public and community radio stations. In addition to the 1/2 hour documentaries of the original Bill of Rights Radio Education Project, Gevins produced a series of 3-5 minute "spot" programs, and a series of 12-15 minute "short" programs. Most of the original Bill of Rights Radio Education Project 1/2 hour documentaries were re-produced & re-edited for the Bicentennial Edition of the Bill of Rights Radio Education Project.
