Pipedreams originated as a discrete series of fourteen broadcasts (offered January-April 1982), with content primarily derived from concerts recorded during the 1980 A.G.O. convention. These programs, produced at Minnesota Public Radio and distributed by American Public Radio (now PRI), were made possible in cooperation with National Public Radio. Funding came from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, the Dayton Hudson Foundation, the Episcopal Choirmasters Handbook (John C. Grant), and Mr. & Mrs. Wesley C. Dudley (the Dudleys, thankfully, having continued as program underwriters through the entire history of Pipedreams).
