George Bernard Shaw (2)

Bernard Shaw was one of the most celebrated English-language writers of the 20th century and a very prominent figure in the early years of radio in Britain.Fuelled by his determination to use radio to promote some of his more controversial views, Shaw made regular broadcasts over a period of almost 25 years.

The surviving recordings address a characteristically wide range of topics, from social equality and the evils of capitalism to the nature of drama.
