Radio

Since 1979, Dunaway has written and produced numerous radio documentary series and shows, broadcast by both local radio stations and nationwide organizations, including National Public Radio. The most significant of these radio programs are his two award-winning, three-hour-long series on Route 66, Across the Tracks: A Route 66 Story[2], and Pete Seeger, Pete Seeger: How Can I Keep from Singing?[3]; the latter is based on Dunaway's biography of the folksinger.

Books

Dunaway's biography of Pete Seeger, How Can I Keep From Singing? The Ballad of Pete Seeger[4] (1981), was based on his doctoral dissertation at the University of California, Berkeley, Pete Seeger and Modern American Topical Song Movements.[5] A second edition was published in 2008 by Random House. From his research for Seeger's biography, over 150 interviews with Seeger, his friends, and his colleagues have been assembled in the David Dunaway Collection of Interviews with Pete Seeger and Contemporaries[6]. in the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress.

His other books include Huxley in Hollywood[7] (Harper Collins, 1990); Writing the Southwest[8] (with Sarah Spurgeon; revised edition, University of New Mexico Press, 2003); Aldous Huxley Recollected[9] (AltaMira/Rowman & Littlefield, 1998); Gathering Oral History on Route 66: A Manual[10] (National Park Service, 2005); Singing Out: An Oral History of America's Folk Music Revivals[11] (with Molly Beer; Oxford University Press, 2010); A Pete Seeger Discography: Seventy Years of Recordings[12] (Scarecrow Press/Rowman & Littlefield, 2011); and A Route 66 Companion[13] (University of Texas Press, 2012). He has also edited various editions of Oral History: An Interdisciplinary Anthology[14], the first in 1984.

Dunaway is currently writing the world's first book on the history, experience, and stereotypes of wearing glasses, referred to as the Glassers project.[15]
