John Sergeant's acclaimed memoir takes us from his somewhat eccentric childhood to his 30 years' service with the BBC. Memorably hand-bagged by Margaret Thatcher on the steps of the Paris Embassy as she lost the leadership contest, and the man to whom Ron Davis confessed his midnight perambulations on Clapham Common, Sergeant has been the man on the spot in most of the major news stories of the last 20 years. His mordant wit, keen sense of the absurd and acute powers of analysis pervade this audiobook, and his understanding of the labyrinthine workings of Westminster, and of the corridors of Broadcasting House, is second to none.

Since that first experimental broadcast, music has been the dominant sound on radio. This documentary from American RadioWorks explores the history of music on the radio and how it became not only the economic engine of a major American industry but an engine for cultural and political change in American life.
