Today marks ninety years since the first ‘real’ radio broadcast in the UK. On the 15th of June 1920, one of the world’s most popular voices took to the microphone in Chelmsford, Essex and sang to the world using the Marconi system we now know as radio.
Pete from FrequencyCast was at the celebrations to mark the historic broadcast, and was able to secure an interview with John Bower, the chairman of the Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society. In the interview, John looks back at the events of 1920, talks a little about today’s radio amateur, explains that the moon is in our grasp, and looks at issues such as the troublesome Powerline adapters and DAB radio.
Anyone with even a casual interest in radio should find this a fascinating interview, and we’d love you to take a listen.
You can download the 20 minute interview, or listen online, at www.frequencycast.co.uk/historyofradio.html
Take a listen and let us know your thoughts.

In Show 45, we took a quick look at the Olympus LS-11, pictured here. This is a high-spec recording device that can record high-quality stereo audio on the move.
As we only had a few minutes in the show to cover this impressive bit of kit, we’ve put together one of our special “Unofficial Guides”, where we go out and about with the recorder capturing sounds and exploring what the LS-11 can do.
Carl and Pete had lots of fun playing with this recorder, and it gave Carl a chance to show off that he does actually know something that Pete doesn’t (which makes a change). have a listen to hear something of a role-reversal for our on-air duo.
The show lasts a little over 18 minutes, and can be downloaded now as an MP3 podcast.
Photos of the LS-11, a detailed review, and the original, uncompressed sounds, can be found at www.frequencycast.co.uk/olympusrecorders.html
