Secas, la conversación siempre cobra vida y profundidad. Esta vez, junto al inconfundible ladrido y carisma del perro Salvador, nos adentramos en un tema que ha marcado la actualidad: la DANA (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos). Analizamos su impacto en las infraestructuras, la respuesta política y social ante los eventos climáticos extremos y las repercusiones económicas que dejan a su paso. Francisco, con su aguda capacidad de análisis, y Cristina, con su experiencia en economía aplicada, desmenuzan las cifras y consecuencias de este fenómeno meteorológico, mientras Salvador aporta su toque canino que, más allá del entretenimiento, recuerda la necesidad de compasión y conciencia en tiempos de adversidad. No te pierdas esta enriquecedora charla donde información, reflexión y un toque de humor se entrelazan para mantenerte al tanto de los temas que importan. - Entrevista en La Diez capital radio a Montse Buch, responsable del Departamento de Loros de Loro Parque. Son muchos los ámbitos implicados en lograr el bienestar de los animales que viven bajo cuidado humano. Zoológicos modernos como Loro Parque cuenta con profesionales de diferentes áreas que trabajan conjuntamente para alcanzar dicho bienestar. Uno de estos colectivos son los entrenadores. El entrenamiento es uno de los aspectos más relevantes que se desarrolla en Loro Parque, que va mucho más allá de las presentaciones que se pueden disfrutar en la Embajada Animal. Por ejemplo, los entrenamientos médicos son una gran herramienta para enseñar al animal a colaborar e intervenciones veterinarias y los checkeos rutinarios administrar inyecciones, extraer sangre, curar de heridas, entre otros. De esta manera, se desarrollan procedimientos completamente indoloros para el animal y hacen que la labor de veterinarios y cuidadores sea más sencilla. El entrenamiento también contribuye al trabajo de los investigadores. Los animales que participan en las investigaciones son entrenados para que lleven a cabo los comportamientos pertinentes para que el investigador obtenga la información que necesita de una manera más cómoda, tanto para él como para el animal. Asimismo, el entrenamiento es también una gran ayuda para el desarrollo para el enriquecimiento ambiental, uno de los pilares del cuidado animal, junto a la atención veterinaria, o la nutrición. Se entiende por enriquecimiento ambiental una estrategia preestablecida y basada en objetivos que busca la mejora del bienestar animal al promover estados físicos y emocionales positivos. Pero más allá de su contribución en otras áreas, el entrenamiento es per se un elemento fundamental en lograr el bienestar animal. Les ayuda a mantenerse activos psicológicamente y físicamente y a desarrollar comportamientos naturales, aspectos fundamentales para el bienestar de los animales.

Is this the first full-length Shakespeare on the BBC I see before me? Yes it is. And the first radio comedy personality, in John Henry.  We're in late May 1923 - 28th to 31st to be precise - and the BBC has suffering from a boycott of theatre producers. Performers are hard to come by, so the Beeb brings drama and comedy in-house. The result? Cathleen Nesbitt (later from Upstairs Downstairs, An Affair to Remember and The Parent Trap) produces and stars in the first of many full-length Shakespeare plays, Twelfth Night on 28th May 1923. Prior to this, there had been scenes and Shakespeare nights. But this was a chance to broadcast the longest and most ambitious play of this new medium. Illuminating us on this, the return of Dr Andrea Smith of the University of Suffolk - the expert on the BBC and Shakespeare. She'll tell us all about the legacy of Auntie and Shakey, including the only one of his plays that to date has still not been adapted for BBC radio. And three days after that first Shakespeare, another BBC debut: comedian John Henry, set to become broadcasting's first comedy personality. His comic monologues, often surreal and downbeat, evolved into tales of his family life, then a dialogue with his beloved Blossom... while off-air, their domestic life became more tragedy than comedy. Comedy historian Alan Stafford tells all. It's quite a tale. John Henry surely deserves mention in the history books... ...on which, both Andrea and Alan have books out soon. See below shownotes for details - and we'll mention more of them on the podcast and on our social mediums when they're published.     SHOWNOTES: Look out for Dr Andrea Smith's book 'Shakespeare on the Radio: A Century of BBC Plays', published by Edinburgh University Press in 2025. Look out for Alan Stafford's book 'Bigamy Killed the Radio Star - John Henry: BBC Comedy Pioneer', published by Fantom Publications in late 2024. Clips are generally so old they're beyond copyright, or rights may be owned by, er, someone. If that's you, let us know. We can talk. We're friendly. We're just to inform, educate and entertain.  Original music is by Will Farmer. Support us on Patreon (£5/mth), for bonus videos and things - and thanks if you do! Rate and review the podcast where you found it? Thanks. Tell people about the podcast? Thanks again. We're a one-man operation so tis HUGELY appreciated. Paul's on tour: An Evening of (Very) Old Radio visits these places: www.paulkerensa.com/tour - come and say hi. Paul's book Auntie and Uncles is coming soon too. A walking tour of BBC's London landmark sites is coming soon - from Broadcasting House to Savoy Hill via Marconi House and Bush House. Email Paul via the Contact link on his website for more details. NEXT TIME: The Electrophone: Queen Victoria's Streaming Device of the 1890s.  There may be some delay between episodes at the moment, due to summer holidays, and life throwing things at us.

Vote The British Broadcasting Century!  Episode 89 is our Election Night Special special, covering Britain's 28 general election results broadcasts over 102 years.  Broadcasting in both USA and UK have both launched were pretty much launched with election results. On 2 November 1920, KDKA Pittsburgh launched regular commercial broadcasting with the presidential election results, giving listeners-in the latest at the same time as journalists. Revolutionary! On 15 November 1922, the BBC went national with London, Birmingham and Manchester announcing the election results and Bonar Law as PM.  Joining us to tell the tale from here, dropping in at every election night special in Britain since, we have Gary Rodger (author of Swing: A Brief History of British General Election Night Broadcasting) and Harry White (host of The Modern British History Podcast). ...Hear first female liberal MP Margaret Wintringham on her gramophone election message... ...Discover the only person to have announced election results AND served as an MP... ...Find out how black-and-white TV converted the blues, reds and yellows of parties to the small screen... ...Meet pioneering producer Grace Wyndham Goldie, who created the TV election night special... ...Discover the origins of the swingometer... ...Oh and Dimblebys.

On episode 88, it's May 1923, and the six-month-old BBC is settling into its new home at Savoy Hill. But it's not all plain sailing. This time, 2-24 May 1923 is retold via press cuttings (thanks to our Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker), showing us that: Some corners of the press were mounting an anti-BBC campaign, complaining it was offering "poor fare". A few days later, other articles refuted that claim.  Some corners of the government were eager to renegotiate the BBC agreement, with the Sykes Inquiry under way to look at licences and obligations. Some corners of the live arts scene were worried their box office takings would be hit by radio entertainment, so decided to boycott Auntie Beeb. ...A few too many opponents! There are also bands (first Birmingham station director Percy Edgar tells of the Grenadier Guards, a small studio and not much ventilation), simultaneous broadcast tests and plans for new stations (first chief engineer Peter Eckersley tells of his ambitions for the signal-to-noise ratio), and Reith's plans for the Sunday Committee to determine the future of, well, Sundays. Plus our guest is ITV's first head of technology Norman Green. He tells us about his innovations in colour film and Teletext (he's the double-height guy!). Norman will return on a future episode too...   SHOWNOTES: The clips used should be far beyond copyright - but any BBC copyright content reproduced courtesy of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Welcome to season 6 of The British Broadcasting Century Podcast - and our 82nd episode. Back in our podcast timeline, telling the moment-by-moment origin story of British broadcasting, we reach a bittersweet moment: the BBC moves out of its first studios, the temporary studio on the top floor of Marconi House. We pay tribute with a look at the Beeb's final day at MH, 30 April 1923 - a broadcast promoting Women's Hour (by a man) and Hawaiian guitar music (hear it here!). And we spend much of the episode re-examining Auntie's first day at Marconi House - indeed BBC Day 1 - as I've just discovered a 1942 memoir from Arthur Burrows, first voice of the BBC. And he says some things I've never read anywhere else before. Was there music on the BBC's first day? He thinks so... ..but we don't! And by 'we', I mean our invited guests: Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker and The Great Collector Dr Steve Arnold. We look at the evidence, from newspapers to the archives to best guesses, and try to piece together the jigsaw of the BBC's first 3 days. Also some more recent BBC memories, as Radio 2 leaves Wogan House, Paul reflects on his memories of broadcasting from there - and working briefly with Steve Wright - a tribute to the great DJ, now Jockin' in the Big Show in the sky.   SHOWNOTES: This is an independent podcast, nothing to do with the BBC or anyone else for that matter. Original music by Will Farmer. BBC copyright content reproduced courtesy of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Al rights reserved.

Pip pip pip pip pip piiiiiiiiip! Is that the time? It must be 100 years (to the day, as I release this episode) since six baby pips were born onto the airwaves.  As the Greenwich Time Signal - aka The Pips - turns 100, we look back at their origin story, thanks to horologist Frank Hope-Jones and also his overlooked contribution to broadcasting itself. Plus Big Ben's bongs, heard by Manchester listeners days before London's listeners. We explain how... but also why Manchester's time signal was often a little approximate, thanks to too many double doors.  SHOWNOTES: Original music by Will Farmer. Thanks to our Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker. Voices include: Harold Bishop, Peter Eckersley, Sir Noel Ashbridge, Kenneth Wright, Frank Hope-Jones... and probably more.

Welcome to 2023's Christmas special/2024's Epiphany special. (Come on, what podcast doesn't have an Epiphany special?) It's all just a chance to turn episode 80 into a re-enactment of this remarkable untold tale of Britain's first religious broadcast. Contrary to what some records say, it wasn't the BBC who began religious broadcasting in Britain - it was lone Peckham pioneer preacher Dr James Ebenezer Boon, on 30 July 1922. Thankfully he wrote everything down - from the words of his sermon to the gramophone record hymns he played, to the feedback received from listeners, to his thoughts on the opportunities of future religious broadcasting. We'll also tell you about America's first religious broadcast (1921) and the first non-radio religious broadcasts - via the Electrophone (in the 1890s!). And we'll propel forward to look at the BBC's first church service on 6th January 1924 (and why it wasn't quite the first after all), with its centenary round about now-ish. We discover too the BBC's first Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist broadcasters. Have a guess now roughly when each debuted on air? Then find out in this episode. (It was surprisingly early...) Whether your religion is religion or radio, I'm sure you'll enjoy this episode. It's different to others we've done, as at its centre is a full re-enactment, so expect a 15min sermon, and hymns - sung along to by the live audience (including several religious broadcasters of note) at Christ Church Evangelical, McDermott Road, Peckham. This was Dr Boon's church, that he wired up back in summer 1922, then left to broadcast INTO it from five miles away - but reaching Coventry and the east coast (who offered to send in a collection, bless 'em). Huge thanks to Christ Church Evangelical, especially Adrian Holloway, for allowing us access (I even went to see the roof, where Dr Boon put his aerial!) for that rare thing - recreating a landmark broadcast where it occurred. Thanks too to Dr Jim Harris and Andy Mabbett for their help in bringing the story to life. Branden Braganza and Riley King recorded it (a video will appear on Youtube soon - details here when that happens). Will Farmer composed the original music. Oh and we're nothing to do with the BBC. Make sure you've also heard our other episode spinning through a century of 'God on the air' - episode 60: A History of Religious Broadcasting. And if you'd like to read along to the sermon, or read Boon's full notes, you can, on Wikisource. (Thanks Andy Mabbett) Thanks for listening.

More re-enactments are coming...

On today's podcast I chat with the warm and wonderful Claire Barrett otherwise known as Claire Marconi to the people of Crookhaven in West Cork. While on honeymoon in Kenmare in the late seventies her husband George asked her to make a diversion to the small little village of Crookhaven, the most southerly point of Ireland. Whatever it was about this special place, Claire was hooked and shortly after she moved here and bought the famous Marconi House, the home of Gugliamo Marconi, the father of wireless, which became her home and then her business,  Claire shares her colourful story as well as having a big conversation about happy beans and sad beans. Enjoy the show..   This show has been produced by Fuzion Communications, a Marketing, PR, Graphic Design and Digital Marketing Agency in Ireland with offices in Dublin and Cork.

After almost 5 years at Marconi House, Gavan Reilly bids farewell to On the Record and Newstalk.From his beginnings as a regular contributor on the show to becoming its presenter in March 2019, Gavan's tireless dedication to his craft as a journalist has been the backbone of the Sunday mornings here at the station.In Gavan's final podcast, he takes a moment to thank those who have supported him throughout the years and the listeners who make On the Record a part of their mornings each and every Sunday.

Episode 64 dwells in 1st-16th March 1923: the last days of the first BBC HQ of Magnet House. So this packed show takes a walk from Magnet House to the studios at Marconi House, just as the early broadcasters would have done. We take a look at the early broadcasting philosophy of first staff - "the upper side of taste" (no grizzly murders or divorce cases). We revisit broadcasts from the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition and head on tour with a laundry basket packed with sheet music (just don't send it to the laundrette like they did). Hear the voices of a few who were there: Rex Palmer, Peter Eckersley, Arthur Burrows, Cecil Lewis, A.E. Thompson, Percy Edgar, Leonard Crocombe... that's about 10% of the entire BBC workforce at the time! You'll also hear a bit from Radio 4's Justin Webb... ...our main special guest is JEFFREY HOLLAND, star of Hi-de-Hi, You Rang M'Lord, Oh Doctor Beeching... and he tells how he even played Private Pike AND Private Walker onstage with the original Dad's Army cast of Arthur Lowe, John Le Mesurier and Clive Dunn. It's a packed episode, but then a lot happened in early March 1923! Next time, late March 1923... Stay tuned to this frequency.   LINKS: Find out more about Jeffrey Holland's tour as Stan Laurel at https://www.jeffreyholland.co.uk/   For more on Leonard Crocombe/Justin Webb, here's our previous episode of the podcast about grandfather and grandson, both BBC stars 100 years apart: https://pod.fo/e/120761     The complete Leonard Crocombe record can be heard on AusRadioHistorian's Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/6N1-hGjP_2M   London Calling, Jimmy Perry's 1922-set sitcom about the early BBC starring Jeffrey Holland, can be heard on Youtube: https://youtu.be/qFSTtd69U_0 For the full video of my walk from Magnet House to Marconi House (as was), join us on Patreon - join then cancel if you like!

Two and a half days of walking, over 80,000 steps, 1234 beeps, 943 strange looks, 17 Nature Valley bars, 15 ads for local business, 8 pit stops, 2 broken heels, 1 piped band and one very proud team. Our Cathal BOSSED his latest challenge, 'Cathal's Camino' and arrived back to Marconi House in the nick of time.

In the latest installment of Challenge Cathal, the lads set the man himself the task of walking from his hometown of Cashel to Marconi House. He will cover 150km in just two and a half days and race against the clock to reach a predetermined check point by sundown every evening. Dermot and Dave checked in as Cashel sent him off and again from the road.

In the latest instalment of Challenge Cathal, the man himself will walk from his home town of Cashel to Marconi House. He will set off on his 150km journey on Wednesday morning and he has to be back before the end of the show on Friday. Transport commentator Conor Faughnan joined the lads with some final tips for the road.

Episode 41 (aka Season 3 episode 2): On January 2nd 1923, John Reith interviewed Miss Frances Isobel Shields for a job at the BBC, to be his secretary. At the time the BBC had four or five male staff members. Miss Shields started work on January 8th, instantly making the BBC a 20% female organisation. It's been greater than that ever since. This episode's fab guest is Dr Kate Murphy: academic, former producer of BBC's Woman's Hour and author of Behind the Wireless: A History of Early Women at the BBC. Her book is brilliant and highly recommended for a deep dive into the subject. Hear Isobel Shields' tale, plus the women who broadcast before her: Britain's first DJ Gertrude Donisthorpe, 2LO's first children's presenter Vivienne Chatterton, and one of our first broadcast comedians Helena Millais. (You can hear their fuller tales if you go back to the earlier episodes on this podcast.) And hear about some of the women who joined the BBC soon after Miss Shields, like telephonist Olive May and women's staff supervisor Caroline Banks. Plus hear about some of John Reith's unusual management practices, from taking his secretaries to the cinema to his brutal firing criteria. But we dwell on his hiring not firing, as well tell the origin story of British broadcasting.  And Dr Murphy will return on future episodes! With tales of the first Women's Hour (not Woman's Hour) in May 1923, and the early female managers, like Mary Somerville and Hilda Matheson. To catch those episodes, you'll have to stay subscribed to this podcast.  While you're there, would you give us a review where you found this podcast? It all helps bring new listeners on board.

I have oodles of notes each episode, so why not just post that? It's 80% of the podcast right here. So transcript fans, read on for essentially the podcast in text form (without the articles and guest bits)   LOOSE TRANSCRIPT (it's loose, so excuse spelling errors or weird word clangs): Previously on the podcast... Christmas 1922, and the BBC has been on the air for 6 weeks, in London, Birmingham and Manchester. But when the govt agreed this BBCo could exist, the deal wasn't for 3 stations that already existed, but for 8! All across Blighty. So where the blazes are they? Isn't it time for a new pop-up radio station to, well, pop up? Wouldn't that be the best Christmas present a Geordie radio listener could ask for?   This time... Let it 5NO, let it 5NO, let it 5NO! Newcastle 5NO joins the airwaves, in time for Christmas? Just. Maybe. Plus behind-the-scenes at 5IT Birmingham and 2ZY Manchester as we tune into Christmas 1922 – AND hear the voices of the three wise station directors of the BBC's 2nd, 3rd and 4th stations. Christmas Eve 1922 is where we find ourselves this episode, which is why we've broken out the jingling bells in our backing music! So whether it's Christmas or not, hop on our time-sleigh set for 99 years ago – Christmas in Newcastle! On the British Broadcasting Century...   TITLES   Hullo hullo, PK calling. Are we coming through clearly? That's how they'd start their test transmissions in 1922, and over the past 33 episodes we've seen how those early voices and wireless manufacturers all brought together science, art and a bit of magic to make British broadcasting a thing.  Thanks for your lovely feedback on last couple of eps, btw. We got very geeky about the studio design of Marconi House, ...thanks to Andrew Barker our Newspaper Detective, article after article has been available to us of when the printed press were invited in in late Dec '22, so we had a lot to get across. And we've got a bit more along those lines this episode, but further north. Before we get to Newcastle and the launch of their new station, there was more than just London on the dial... This episode we'll tour the other BBC stations, and hear rare clips of each of their station directors: the 2nd BBC station in Brum, the 3rd in Manc and the 4th in Newcastle, which has yet to begin...   STING   But we'll begin then in Birmingham – it'll help us appreciate their civilised environs, when you see the ramshackle joint Newcastle have to deal with.   In December 1922, Birmingham is a primitive setup... I don't mind the whole city, but er, well, see Peaky Blinders for details.   The Birmingham 5IT station, out in Witton, was just a month or so into its life, as its first station boss Percy Edgar later recalled from a comfier space...   CLIP: EDGAR: modern studio vs old   Back then, the station director did most things – announce, book the acts, sing, play... and Percy Edgar found it a real song and dance hiring performers who loved a song, and a dance...   CLIP: EDGAR: 5IT studio: player-piano, platform - soubrette up and down   Well the listeners couldn't tell – and in fact those who switch between London and Birmingham stations often find that Brum had the edge. The stations, all part of one BBC, are slightly in competition with each other at this stage. No bad thing if it encourages a boost in quality....   Boston Guardian, 16th December 1922     ...Praise indeed for the Birmingham's announcer, who likely by this point, is Percy Edgar.   CLIP: Edgar: “Within a few weeks, Harold Casey joined me as Assistant Station Director...”   So while Percy edgar is adding to his Birmingham team with a loyal Ass St Dir, up in Manchester, another of the first 3 BBC stations, the team is expanding too.   On Dec 19th, that's the same Tuesday when the London squad find their new home of Savoy Hill. the Manchester station also gains a new employee: Victor Smythe... He'd been interested from the start a month earlier...   VICTOR SMYTHE CLIP   Victor Smythe catches the bug in late Nov, by mid-Dec he's applying for a job at 2ZY Manchester. On Dec 19th he starts work. In one show, he'd read the news, do a funny story, do a talk as Mr X... And when they started doing full days, he was known to be announcer from 9:30am to midnight!   Now I said earlier we'd have the voices of 3 station directors. So, alright, Victor Smythe became deputy station dir at 2ZY Manchester. The station dir Kenneth Wright, we've had on here before – go back to our 2ZY episode for his voice. But as deputy, Victor Smythe was a Manchester stalwart for 3 decades. So this episode, you're getting him.   So what was 2ZY Manch like at the month-old BBC? Well just as the London station invited the press into the studio, likewise in mid-December...   Now, the long article they published was very technical. Too technical for me. Too technical for you? Difficult to say. I don't know the threshold of our listeners. So if you want to read the full article, join our Facebook group – I'll post a link to the article in the shownotes – join our group for more like that, and thanks Andrew Barker for sharing these articles with us.   So that's Birmingham and Manchester that first BBC Christmas, with London, making the first 3 stations.   But the summer before, the Post-Gen in the H of C said the BBC would consist of 8 stations across the country. It was to be a broadcasting service for everyone – or at least most, though the first Chief Engineer Peter Eckersley would have plans soon enough to reach even the furthest farmer – but the tale of relay stations, and longwave, and Daventry... is all a few years away yet.   Here's an even later Chief Engineer of the BBC, Harold Bishop – who back in 1922 was an engineer at the London studio:   CLIP: Harold Bishop Dec 24th 1922 on 5NO, then Cardiff, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Bournemouth   So yes it's about time they built that 4th studio – the first to start life under the BBC! The first of a new plan to build stations in city centres, unlike Birmingham and Manchester, which were out in industrial works far from travel hubs, and needing artistes to travel after dark to the middle of nowhere.   You want a nearby railway station, a hotel, the bustle of a city – or at least near as 1920s cities got to a bustle – to welcome a regular turnover of guest performers. For that, Newcastle 5NO turned to W.P. Crosse's Concert Agency, and a separate local agency to receive and transcribe the news from Reuters.   So far so good. But you also need a high point for the aerial – a giant chimney or tower of some kind.   The Marconi Company are the ones to build this, and the local station-in-waiting is promised to Newcastle's ears by Christmas. A bit of a rush, but they rise to the challenge.   The plans begin on Dec 10th – so only a fortnight before the promised launch date. Impressive!   24 Eldon Square is rented at £250/year, that's to be a studio and artistes' waiting room, with 4 offices above it for the Station Director and support staff.   Peel Conner microphones are installed – not too reliable, ok for speech but can't get the full range when music was attempted.   This is the first station to have the studio and transmitter at separate sites, a mile apart, linked my phoneline. So over in West Blandford St, the 1½ kw transmitter, there's the stableyard of the Co-operative Wholesale Society, surrounded by horses and carts. Their 140ft chimney was perfect for the aerial.   That transmitter is the new Marconi Q type transmitter – the first of its kind, a slimmed-down version of the prototype used at London's 2LO. The London version was vast and unwieldy and the result of lots of trial and error to get the best quality, low hum – the quality of a radio broadcast had to be more pleasant than the quality of a phone call. So London's transmitter, while legendary and still in the Science Museum today, was a bit of a bodge job. It's a Frankenstein of a transmitter.   So in Dec 1922, the plan was for Newcastle, then Cardiff and Glasgow, to have slimline versions of this same transmitter – now they knew it could work.   It was of course developed by our good old friend Captain H.J. Round, remember him? There at the start, giving us speech test broadcasts from Chelmsford in our first few episodes. You'll have heard Round's mega-talk in one of our specials, and at this point he was working a new better microphone to roll out in the New Year, having just designed these new Marconi Q type transmitters, for Newcastle and the other new stations. Round was always working on the next technological breakthrough.   As you heard from Brum and Manc, BBC station directors were normally also the main announcers – they did everything! But in station director Tom Payne's case, he was setting up ex nihilo, building something from nothing. So he was a little out of his depth, I think it's fair to say. London, Birmingham and Manchester had all grown out of existing wireless manufacturing companies: Marconi's in London, MetroVick in Manchester, Western Electric in Birmingham. But Newcastle? Just a skeleton crew who'd never done this before... principally the Marconi engineer E.O.P. Thomas, and the station boss Tom Payne.   Word reached head office that Tom Payne was having troubles. December 23rd, they tried to launch...   E.O.P. Thomas, Marconi engineer puts it like this: “A hitch arose and there was  no hope of connecting studio and transmitter. As a last resort I had several empty horse drays wheeled into the stable yard, chairs were placed on them and microphones connected to the nearby transmitter. The inaugural programme of 5NO was punctually carried out.”   A howling dog in a nearby kennel ruined much of the broadcast.   Thankfully next day, Christmas Eve, the link-up to the studio is fixed and Newcastle 5NO is officially launched, after this pre-show from the stableyard.   Technical limitations persist though - it restricts hours of broadcasting too, so station boss Tom Payne recalls, when dealing with Marconi engineer Mr Thomas.   Yes, Newcastle has a greater limit on time than its southern cousins.   So as we stampede forward in our tale, let's leave Newcastle, and check in what was on air from the BBC in London for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Now we featured this in much fuller detail in our Christmas special, episode 20, but it'd be rude not to mention what was on while we're here chronologically here.   So, the first London BBC Christmas, in a nutshell!   Christmas Eve in a nutshell – Truth About FC, John Mayo...   Hear the fuller version of Rev John Mayo's Christmas address, and more on Peter Pan, the 2 stations with different versions of O Come All Ye Faithful, and much much more on our Christmas special about 10 episodes ago.   Next time, Reith begins! But en route to Head Office, his first task will be a stopover in Newcastle, to inspect that station: that stableyard, that lorry, that howling dog, that Tom Payne.   Plus Reith's incredible first day at the London office. The end of the beginning, the start of the BBC proper. Finally!   If you like what you hear, please spread word of us. It's the best way for new listeners to discover us. And if you like us, your friends are going to love us.

Our story of early British broadcasting reaches the week before Christmas 1922. The BBC staff of four have found Savoy Hill, made an offer, but for now have one room at GEC's Magnet House lined up for the first few months of 1923. But while Reith goes off on his hols, and Major Anderson the secretary puzzles out the new BBC accounts (see last episode), the other two head office staff won't wait for a Head Office, because they're still broadcasting down the road at Marconi House... Arthur Burrows as Uncle Arthur and Cecil Lewis as Uncle Caractacus. Here we meet other broadcasters, including the first couple of the BBC, L Stanton Jeffries (Uncle Jeff) and Vivienne Chatterton (not an official radio 'Auntie', even though she was second voice on London's first Children's Hour - AND married to an 'Uncle'). Married in 1921, on air in December 1922, you'll hear their voices from years later. Plus we have reminiscences from Harold Bishop, Cecil Lewis and Arthur Burrows, and press cuttings of the day courtesy of our Newspaper Detective Andrew Barker.

Season 2 Episode 4 (aka Episode 31 in total) flashes us back to Arthur Burrows' pre-BBC days, and brings us to December 17th-20th 1922, when 4/5 of the BBC workforce (ie. 4 people of the 5) tour central London searching for a building. They can use Magnet House for now, on loan from General Electric, but after that, where? After deciding against a gold-flatting mill (now a Gym Box), they discover a nice little premises on Savoy Hill. But before that, Arthur Burrows shows John Reith the ropes, via a chart, of everything this new BBC will need, from engineers to commissionaires a lady's assistant. Reith is still baffled. But before THAT - several years before that - Burrows was the lone voice trying to convince the Marconi Company that broadcasting was a Good Thing. The Marconi bosses didn't agree. Our special guest knows all about this: Professor Gabriele Balbi, Associate Professor of Media Studies at USI in Switzerland, has written a paper called 'Wireless' Critical Flaw: The Marconi Company, Corporation Mentalities and the Broadcasting Option'. He fills in Burrows' back-story, explains how several voices can be heard within a company's culture, and is a lone voice in academia too, suggesting that the Marconi Company still didn't get behind broadcasting even when the Melba concerts showed it was possible. Even then, he argues, the transmissions were just to show home-users that wireless communication was easy. So perhaps when Burrows was explaining to Reith everything about broadcasting, he was STILL fighting the corner for his vision of what radio was, and could be.

It has been a while since George Hook and I last passed each other in the corridors of Marconi House. His departure as drivetime host at Newstalk Radio was a well-publicised and controversial one, and one that we discuss at length in this great conversation, as it brings up a lot of bigger, very current issues. However we talk about so much more, such as his marriage to ‘the lovely Ingrid' which has never been happier, why he believes history will not be kind to Nphet, modern rubgy punditry, and how he would like to be remembered.This is a compelling and entertaining chat packed full of opinions and good humour, I think you'll really like it. COMEDY: this was also the week of highs and lows for the government: lows when yet more vaccine roll-out problems showed up, highs when the call about a huge, unexpected batch of vaccines for Ireland came through. Wouldn't you just love to have been in the room when that call came in? Well, our microphones were…Enjoy!Mario See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A ainda privada BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) foi a primeira organização de emissão radiofônica do mundo.

The Blizzards are back and blowing a storm with their new single. 'Pound The Pavement' is a banging, upbeat, rocking anthem which is something we've come to expect from the Mullingar foursome. Today they joined us on The Fergal D'Arcy Show for a radio first. We had then guys booked in for a chat and live session in Marconi House before the country was hit by Covid-19. Obviously, due to social distancing and no in-studio guests allowed we arranged an 'Isolation Session' This involved the band hooking up at different times in their Camden Recording studio then putting it all together for the Fergal D'Arcy Show.   View this post on Instagram   Getting ready to play a few acoustic tunes with the boiz @theblizzardsie tonight in @thefencemullingar with @tonichousecollective Will be the craic, c’mon down if you’re in town! 👀 . . 📸 by @ruthlessimagery #theblizzards #thefence #mullingar #tonichousecollective #irishmusic #newmusic A post shared by Louize (@louizecarroll) on May 16, 2019 at 11:43am PDT   They did NOT disappoint. A brilliant cover of the Zedd and Maren Morris tune from 2018 'The Middle'. Bressie and Louize from the band joined Fergal to chat about how the Coronavirus has hit them and other Irish bands really hard, both give their tips on how best to deal with isolation - (Bressie is well known for his work in mental health and bass player Louize is also a  trained Psychologist)

After a two and a half month hiatus we are back, and what an episode we have for you today. Today's guest is veteran radio broadcaster and journalist Matt Cooper. Matt invited us to Marconi House where we chatted about Matt's own career in journalism and broadcasting, his views on the current state of Irish media and, among other things, Matt's trip to North Korea with NBA star Dennis Rodman, and of course we had time to talk about his beloved Leeds United also. Hope you enjoy!

It was one of the highlights for another amazing show at Camden recording studios. Now, becoming an annual tradition, The Fergal D'Arcy Show upped sticks from the usual surrounds of the Marconi House studio and settled into a spectacular showcase of Irish and International music.

We took our first ever trip to Marconi House, home of Today FM amongst others, to interview their DJ and all round sound guy Fergal D’Arcy. We talked to Fergal about his humble beginnings in Clare FM, his rise to popularity with iRadio and his move to the big shmoke to work for Today FM.

Elderbrook, aka Alexander Kotz is in Ireland tonight to play The Academy Dublin. He is the voice behind the grammy nominated 'Cola' with duo Camelphat.  Have a listen to our favourite rework of the track. It is made even better by Mousse T's big beats.   Elderbrook has released 2 summer bangers Capricorn & Sleepwalking, both heavily featured on Lost in Music. He will have an EP out before the end of the year and we can expect an album in 2019.  Capricorn is one of those earworms that you never get tired of.   Alexander came into Marconi House ahead of his gig in The Academy and chatted with Ed Smith about his journey from being an indie, hip hop and folk artist to being one of the most exciting dance music artist around. You can listen to this interview by clicking the link above.    We have @_elderbrook in with us for a chat on Lost In Music after 7. The rising dance star is playing in Dublin tonight. @edsongsofpraise caught up with him about his monster summer tunes and that Grammy nomination. pic.twitter.com/0kHODfF3mt — Today FM (@TodayFM) October 25, 2018 Lost in Music with Ed Smith Weeknights 7pm

Have a listen by clicking the link above to his track 'Full Recovery' recorded in studio here in Marconi House, thanks to our Gavin Blake on sound.  Here's the skinny on the rising star.  Curtis Walsh is already impressive and he has only just begun! The IMRO 2017 Christie Hennessy Songwriting Competition winner has been supporting The Academic, Lany and Tom Walker in recent months.    In fact, he has spent the past year gigging, with full audiences and an avid fan base, Curtis released 'Full Recovery' earlier in the summer. The song has been streamed 614,000 times which is pretty spectacular.  'Full Recovery' was written to help someone who Curtis was seeing through a hard time. "I wrote 'Full Recovery' to try to change the mind frame of the person I was seeing so she would realise no matter how bad the situation is, that with a bit of patience and trust, everything will eventually be okay."         This fella is in #PlayIrish Session tonight with @edsongsofpraise @CWalshMusic is one to watch Lost in Music Weeknights 7pm pic.twitter.com/fIaFnfeN5D — Today FM (@TodayFM) October 16, 2018

His music comes at a time when the charts are filled with sweet pop and love songs, Sam Fender is writing lyrics that speak out about mental health for men. It is refreshing to hear a new artist write about what is real for them in their World.  Sam was in Ireland to appear at Other Voices Ballina, so he nipped into Marconi House to record especially for Lost in Music.  The video is powerful stuff.  Keep your ear out for this young man, he is a future star.  Lost in Music with Ed Smith Weeknights 7pm.
