Destination Freedom

Was listening to Radio 4 on Sunday and after Alice Walker's Desert Island Discs this came on

Half hour show on this groundbreaking radio show I'd never heard of. Fascinating stuff.

Anyone heard many/any of the shows? They mentioned shows about Ellington and Armstrong which would be fun to hear.

Not good form but I'll reply to my own post.

Lots of these show on Archive.org which can be found easily by googling

Possibly better on the historical figures than the dramatisations about Duke and Pops, but its interesting to hear radio from this long ago and wonder at its impact.
