RED TRANSMISSIONS PODCAST THE TYPEWRITER REVOLUTION 020
An interview with Richard Polt by Madam Neverstop. An interview released this spring via Red Transmissions podcast announced the open call for this fall TYPEWRITTEN issue of Red Door, with a very special guest, who spoke to me from Ohio, with typewriters on his desk and in the background, in case there was any doubt on the subject. Professor of philosophy, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Xavier University in Ohio, author and typewriter collector Richard Polt. Originally from California and raised bilingually due to his Spanish background, Polt shares that his father used a Smith corona so his upbringing in Oakland was always surrounded by typewriters. That is to say, we jumped straight to the important subject. Speaking of his collection, Polt shares that he has approx. 300 typewriters, which have always been a part of his life but which he began seriously collecting once he dug into the history of early typewriters and the strange original designs and concepts of these machines, leading to him to create a website called the Classic Typewriter Page, which has served to connect fanatics/collectors around the world. The number of the collection is a bit uncertain, as in reality his attempt to cut down failed or was put aside for a better cause, as apart from his personal collection, his basement is full of typewriters which he is restoring and preparing for literacy programs for the youth in his city. The Typewriter Revolution came out in 2015, a beautiful publication visually and rich in content, which started due to a typewritten blog, (a practice called typecasting) which he started in 2010 and which connected him to typewriter users of the 21st century, something which felt rebellious, inspiring and hopeful, and which showed him simultaneously all the negative ways in which digital technologies are occupying our lives. He typed up the typewriter manifesto about the rebellion and revolution as a tongue-in-cheek text. This turned into a movement of supporters which he chose to encourage through the book, which many of us consider “the bible” for the typewriting subculture. Polt shares that there are aren’t yet book versions in other languages but that there’s talks of releasing it in Italian. I In addition to this publishing project, Polt has also been publishing academic texts, but there is now a whole other collection of typewriter-themed books, a series called Cold Hard Type, to encourage people to use their typewriters through various themes, such 021
