Inventor Underground talk-show guide
A guide to the interviews and inventor discussions listed by Inventor Underground in 2006.
Mary Lou Quinlan
The series included an interview with Mary Lou Quinlan, one of the judges on ABC’s American Inventor. The listing connected the television programme with the independent inventors following and discussing it.
The sound of an invention
The introduction to that interview featured the glass armonica, an instrument associated with Benjamin Franklin. The programme note marked the three-hundredth anniversary of Franklin’s birth in 1706 and pointed listeners toward information about the instrument.
Episode 3: inventors join the conversation
The third episode was described as a talk-show review with live phone calls from inventors. Participation was central to the original site, which also invited people to share audition experiences and discuss the inventions appearing on television.
Doug Hall
Another listed interview featured judge Doug Hall. His message to Inventor Underground readers explains the three questions he considered when evaluating an invention.
