Revival
In 2006 and 2007, the Hoover Institution produced a sporadic series of for-web interviews involving Peter Robinson called Directors' Forum Video. In July 2007, these Directors' Forum Video webcasts were rebranded under the old Uncommon Knowledge moniker, starting with the newly produced episode "Land of Lincoln."
Starting in 2008, each of these new webcasts premiers on National Review Online in five parts throughout the week before being published on the Hoover Institution web site, Facebook, YouTube, and other social media outlets.In addition, the Hoover Institution posts each upcoming episodes as a podcast entitled Uncommon Knowledge, which can be downloaded via iTunes, or as part of the Hoover Institution iTunes U download page. New episodes are published every other week. Viewers are permitted to suggest guests and ask questions of upcoming guests to be selected by the Uncommon Knowledge team, and/or Peter Robinson, the interviewer/host. The viewers whose questions are selected often win the book or publication of the guests being interviews. The show interacts with viewers via social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Ricochet.com.

Famous quotes containing the word revival:
“I do not think a revival of business will be greatly postponed by [Samuel J.] Tilden’s election. Business prosperity does not, in my judgment, depend on government so much as men commonly think.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
