What do the six-digit numbers mean? <K F> 15:26, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Year Month Day

Ah. In that case, two follow-up questions:

(1) What day does "020100 Artie Shaw" refer to?

(2) As far as I can make out, the list is neither alphabetically nor chronologically ordered. Is there any other order which I fail to see? <K F> 20:30, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I can see now that this is a chronological list. And "020100" probably means some time in January 2002. Wouldn't it be easier to read if it actually said "January 2002" or something like that? When I first saw this article I thought the numbers might refer to record labels or whatever. <K F> 20:36, 28 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

I reformatted the dates on the guest list/program log to the more legible and standardized YYYY-MM-DD format, and I changed the title of that section. I am troubled by the lack of sourcing for this partial program log. Where did this info come from? Could it be the personal records of a hobbyist who taped the shows off-air? It's also woefully incomplete (only 3 shows from 1999, for example). I don't know how many original (non-repeat) shows there were over the years, but possibly hundreds of her guests are not listed here, and it would be great to have a complete and authoritative list.99.108.21.36 (talk) 14:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Responding to the questions of the previous paragraph, pretty much every specific date in the list can be tied to a web page on the NPR site, and those URLS could easily be added to each line. For example:

* 1990-10-17 [Hickory House Trio]: Joe Morello: drums, Bill Crow: contrabass, first broadcast 1991-02-02

could be used instead of the current listing for the same info:

* 1991-02-02 Hickory House Trio

which has a first problem in that it gives a broadcast date (something that varies by radio station, since NPR gives local stations latitude to set their broadcast schedules) and a second problem in that it links to a non-existent page.

Alternately, ref links could be created, but that would greatly expand the size of the page, reducing it's readability.

Unfortunately, the NPR pages do not always list the original recording date, thus the large number of undated and ambiguously dated entries.
