From the K-P-F-K Studios in Southern California,

it's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting way too long. Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan along with my co-host David Feldman.

Hello there, David.

Hello there. And the man of the hour Ralph Nader how are you today Ralph

Very good ready to go

No nonsense. We're gonna get right to it and I'm glad we to get right to it, because we have a special show for you today, special, because this coming November 30th is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Ralph's groundbreaking book, Unsafe at Any Speed, which was published back

in 1965, David Wish Ralph a happy anniversary.

Did you get the flowers?

No, I don't need the roses. I need more cars recalled that need to be fixed.

We'll work on that. And here's one way we're going to work on that.

On today's show, we were going to celebrate

that important piece of work, which Time magazine

named one of the top 100 influential non-fiction

books of all time.

We're going to talk about its birth, its history, and how its publication

marked the beginning of the modern consumer movement. Now I know Ralph, you are not a fan of

nostalgia, so we are only looking back as a way to inform the future and here's how we're going to do it.

I've selected a number of clips from the documentary that Henriette Mantel and I directed entitled an unreasonable man.

That's you, Ralph. I'm sure you know that.

Yes.
