Trivia / Bernie Speaks with the Community

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: The show went into the vault after production ended in 1988 and was quickly forgotten. While some clips of it surfaced on the internet as Sanders' public profile saw a substantial increase during the 2010s, its existence didn't become widely known until Politico unearthed it in 2019, after which the station that produced it uploaded all episodes onto the internet.
• Technology Marches On: Sanders often interviews residents with a outdated, wired microphone which requires the production crew to remain within a few feet of him. The microphone's wire is often visible on the ground, and sometimes Sanders can be seen struggling with the production equipment.
