FFHS-NEWS New history programme on BBC World Service (Radio)

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

We have been sent an email containing the following:

 

"The BBC World Service (Radio) is launching a new daily history programme at
the end of October.  It's to be called Witness and will focus on the
memories and testimonies of people who lived through historic events.
We'll mix those testimonies with material from the BBC's audio archive - to
tell personal stories on air.

Not just the war, but scientific discoveries,  social changes, sporting
events, art, fashion. really we're interested in hearing from anyone who has
a story to tell.

Obviously, as the international arm of BBC radio we'll be talking to people
all over the world but we don't want to neglect the UK."

  

If you are interested, the person to contact is Kirsty Reid, Editor,
Analysis, BBC World Service Radio.  (44) 207 557 1497.
