"Peopletalk" was a promotional series used for outreach that intersperses interviews with music from IWU. The content was originally released in 1978 with different music in the background but the production quality on that version is uneven and so is not being made available online. Contact the archives for access to the preservation copy.

This, the 1980 version, has longer segments of music and may have been used as a Master copy to create the more integrated music/voice version that was released in 1981 which has at least one additional speaker. Several of the speakers' clips included here are from longer interviews that were recorded in 1977 and 1978; those recordings are available under the individuals' names in this collection.

Digitized from a 10 1/4" reel-to-reel tape in spring 2018. Photographs of the original media are linked below.
