BBC comedy writer (Miranda, Not Going Out) + radio historian Paul Kerensa's new show about old broadcasts: a fun, fascinating sequel to An Evening of Very Old Radio.

Be informed, educated and entertained about the man who brought the mic to four monarchs: from George V to Elizabeth II via D-Day speeches, drunken broadcasts and a surprise abdication. Plus how the Palace lost the first BBC recording... and what Paul's doing to find it.

Recorded for The British Broadcasting Century Podcast - bring questions and curiosity!
