Özet

14 November 2012 marks the ninetieth anniversary of the BBC's first ever broadcast and the beginning of the British love affair with radio. This fascinating book takes as its starting point those early, tentative programmes broadcast from Marconi House on the Strand, and follows the story of those magical radio voices through the years of economic depression, war and austerity, to the swinging Sixties and up to the digital era.

Above all, it celebrates the great, the forgotten and the notorious voices of radio from the last nine decades, and the programmes they made famous: Marion Cran in the 1920s, who pioneered the first gardening programme; Lord Haw Haw, whose sinister catchphrase 'Germany calling' punctuated broadcasts throughout the Second World War; the Goons and Kenneth Horne, comedy greats of the 1950s; John Peel, Alan Freeman, Kenny Everett and other heroes of Radio Caroline and the pirate stations; all the way up to Eddie Mair, Fi Glover and Danny Baker, the much-loved voices of today.

The result is a wonderful blend of insight, history and nostalgia that will appeal to radio's many aficionados.

I really enjoyed this. Simon Elmes reads very well and he is a good mimic of the characters he discusses.

Lots of nostalgia and very informative.Highly recommended.

A lovely listen

This is a fascinating story, well told. Elmes has a light touch and an eye for well-chosen examples. The problem with this reading, however, is that it lacks the original recordings. Elmes is not a talented impersonator, so there is only so much that he can convey via a description of the vocal delivery and the way in which different lengths of pause are indicated by the number of dots left in the printed quote. Clearly, this is an audiobook, so it is constrained by being a vocal version of the book, but you will end up feeling that something is lacking and wondering how it might have been conveyed differently.

Sound without voices

Simon Elmes has a very warm pleasing voice and his delivery is perfect. I’ve been listening to this as my bedtime book. I always fall asleep calmed and charmed and too early. It’s no hardship to listen again

Utterly charming

One of the best Audible books I've had over the past 5 years. Amusing, informative and throughly engaging. Simon Elmes knows his stuff, writes with intelligence and imagination and reads in an easy and imaginative way. It is a must-listen for any wireless fan!

Superb!
