Radio Docs

I do like a good radio documentary. I have even been known to email the producer if I can find their email and tell them how much I enjoyed their doc when I find a good one.

Two recent gems:

Voice notes from the past

45 rpm "single" vinyl record and a mailing envelope for it. Record is a "voice-o-gram"

“Voice notes on vinyl records? It used to be all the rage: Love letters once whizzed around the world on vinyl records, says collector”

Charming radio doc from the CBC on The Current with audio clips of these early “voice notes”.

Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners

Lesbians and Gays support the miners graphic from Working Class History. Includes people with an LGSM banner from the 1980s.
E27-29: Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners

Only listened to episode 1 so far but an interesting background to the state of 2SLGBTQIA+ and other progressive politics in the 1980s.
