I've just uploaded <a href="http://speechification.com/2008/07/24/tokyos-burning/" rel="nofollow">another Tony Barrell piece, on the Tokyo firebombing</a>. Also astonishing bit of radio. As to why Barrell's not known more in the UK, well I guess the BBC doesn't syndicate much stuff in from ABC, despite the (almost) shared language, so it's only now that this stuff can be heard. I guess he's hardly a major star in Australia either, as radio documentary tend to not be. Which is a crime, of course. I've always though Speechification is a kind of meta-speech radio station, which should curate the best from wherever - as you say, smuggling talent across borders, irrespective of where the show emanates from. The shows carry their provenance with them. Cheers Steve. I’ve just uploaded another Tony Barrell piece, on the Tokyo firebombing. Also astonishing bit of radio.

I think the Muybridge part of the show is the best bit of factual radio I've heard in a long time. I think this is one of the really cool things about Speechification: we smuggle radio talent across borders. I really want to know more about Tony Barrell now - why isn't he a major radio star in Britain too? What's that about? Dan, that’s a real gem.
