Oh Jo - may I also echo your extremely kind sentiments and congratulate you and the RSN for all the hard work and time you have put into it. It will be great to meet all the RSN scholars at the MeCCSA conference in 2018.
I am delighted to have Hugh as external examiner and can only be honoured by him accepting!
Looking forward to the ongoing conversation!

Its called 'Americanradiohistory.com<http://Americanradiohistory.com><http://Americanradiohistory.com>' and has hundreds of old UK radio magazines available to read online dating back to the 1920s and 30s. As an example I put 'Val Gielgud' into their search box ( 'Search whole site' ) and it threw up 126 articles. The search takes about a minute as the site has so many magazines available !
