Episode 68 and STILL in March 1923 - March 26th to be precise, as Major Arthur Corbett-Smith is hired to be the 5th Cardiff station director in about as many weeks. It's not going well there... ...Corbett-Smith to the rescue? Trouble is, he's a little divisive. Some say he's the greatest gift to broadcasting (well, he does - he wrote his memoir in the third person), others say he's best out of the BBC (Reith, some newspaper correspondents). Listen - make your own mind up. To help you decide, two fab guests - Shakespeare-on-the-air expert DR ANDREA SMITH of the University of Suffolk (as Corbett-Smith aimed to be first to broadcast all his complete works) and GARETH GWYNN (writer of sitcom The Ministry of Happiness, all about Corbett-Smith and Cardiff 5WA). Plus the first National Anthem on the BBC... the first time signals... and an early Newcastle station director so popular that when he moved to Bournemouth, Geordies bought more powerful radio sets just to hear him from the south coast. Enjoy! Original music is by Will Farmer. A reminder that this podcast is nothing to do with the BBC.

This week's episode is a right old Carry On, and then some, as we're transported to bohemian life in 1950s London, thanks to this week's guest, comedy writer and presenter, Gareth Gwynn! Grainne's deep-dive provides an education into the secret life of this week's star couple, Hattie Jacques & John Le Mesurier, whose public persona of respectability, masked a hotbed of affairs, parties that went on for days, and smokey jazz clubs. This episode is a lesson in what happens when two eccentrics collide, and it'll make you wish you lived in that world too, where the likes of Tony Hancock, Dudley Moore and a guy called 'Bruce' are key players. If you know who these legends of 50s, 60s and 70s sitcoms are, then you'll love this nostalgia fest, but if however, like our Chantal, you have NO IDEA about Carry On Films or Dad's Army, then buckle up and enjoy the ride, it's quite an education...
