Hi Kate, 

Yes - I'm totally familiar with each. The first chapter of a book I'm writing details Marson and her work with Madden.

What I'm looking for are recordings of radio programming from that era.......

Una Marson, who hailed from Jamaica, presented Calling the West Indies
and Caribbean Voices during the early 1940s from the BBC.

There is a biography about her by Delia Jarrett Macaulay

Subject: Re: [BBC-HISTORY] West Indian Radio

Hello again,

Does anyone know a source for any early West Indian radio programming?
I've heard from some that it's super hard to find, in that many shows
were presented live over the BBC. 

Any sources, please?

And of course the term Scotland region rather than as now nations and
regions is indicative of a london centric mindset which is slowly
disappearing.

Once Scotland is again an independent nation, we can but hope that the
BBC will still exist - albeit with a revised governance structure

	Darrell
	I can help with one name, Peter Thompson, who was head of
outside broadcasts for many years through the 50s and 60s at BBC
Scotland - although in 1951 he might have held a slightly lower
position.
	Hope this helps.

	Everyone,
	
	It's me again, attempting to indentify a few names within my
notes.
	
	Please see the attached memo. While I surely know who Goldie,
Noordhof, Kennish and Swallow are, I'm unclear on the others, and their
significance.
	
	Can anyone help, please?
	
	Oh, how I wish the BBC would digitize its staff listings....
