Episode description

Part 2 of the pre-BBC's summer of music covers June and July 1922.

As The Spice Girls once nearly sang, tonight (this episode) is the night (the episode) when 2 (BBCs) become 1 (BBC).

Hear the voices of those who weren't just there - they were pushing the buttons. This episode includes:

- How we got the licence fee!

- Garden party demonstrations

- Elstree

- the arrival of Cecil Lewis

Plus an Airwave Memory from Pete Hawkins (twitter.com/fictoids1) and Firsthand Memories from covering I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and the World Service.
