@MW1CFN is a radio history fiend, too, and wonder if he may have any other links (we covered worldradiohistory.com and DLARC's curated lists at archive.org).

How devastating. One of the big radio stations in Poland has released a series of CDs with broadcasts made during the German invasion in September 1939.
Unfortunately, it seems the only way you can purchase them is on physical CD which is not ideal when you live as I do over the other side of the world in Australia.
Of course I have to translate the site or at least I did when I looked at it a little while ago before I could read anything about them, I wish they would offer a digital download. I would purchase it. I have always been wanting more Polish radio because many discs were hidden by the Polish after the nation fell because the Germans wanted to obliterate Everything.

📻 :antenna: 📚 Colectif Radios Libres Populaires: "Les radios libres". Flashback from 1978: part history, part (highly-detailed) DIY manual, part call to action.

Thanks to my camarada and walking-and-talking #RadioHistory encyclopaedia Josemi (José Emilio Pérez), whom I need to lure over to the #Fedi, for the heads-up.

How the BBC started the 1937 #Coronation radio broadcast. The unmistakeable over enunciated voice of Stuart Hibberd ("This is London") and one of the 'observers' John Snagge #radiohistory

For the last #Coronation in 1953 there were just 3 domestic radio stations (Home, Light, Third) and the one tv channel. Here's what was on offer that day #radiohistory #BBC

Rosalind Russell with a CBS microphone c. early 1950s.

As well as being among the terrific actresses, she had a very adequate grasp of radio works (drama, comedy… narration stints) too. I wished she narrated more often!
