Cross Talk: Season 2 Episode 6

On International Women's Day:  One of the unsung great Women pioneers in Radio.   From March 8, 2019.  The first "Director of Talks" at BBC Radio was a woman.  She was recruited by BBC in 1926.  One of the programs she created in 1929 still airs today; 90 years later! So why don't Radio professionals, students and academics know about Hilda Matheson?

Makes use of bits of the "Week in Westminster" from BBC (2019).  Refers to "Radio Girls" by Sarah-Jane Stratford (New American Library, 2016), "Broadcasting" by Hilda Matheson (Home University Library, Thornton Butterworth, 1933) and my review https://paulcrossradio1.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/how-a-novel-about-radio-becomes-a-valuable-resource-for-teaching-and-learning-about-radio/ (2017)
