Speechification

Look, I tried really hard not to post this. We can’t just post every episode of Archive Hour every week. It’s not Archivication. But there are people out there waiting to get on trains or walk dogs. And they can’t do it until their MP3 players are full of high-quality speech radio content. And that’s what this is; Kathy Sykes looking back at the BBC’s history of science programming; explaining science to the nation. We hear from the tweedy gents of old, the eccentrics of the 60s and 70s, the occasional attempts at youthiness and the splendidly doomed live experiments of Tomorrow’s World. And, there’s a bit of The Great Egg Race. Dear BBC, Bring Back The Great Egg Race! MP3 here.
