Summary: Episode 9 brings us to the famous '2LO': London is calling the world, on our journey towards the BBC's birth. Hear the voices that launched broadcasting in the UK, plus rivalry and pranks, including Arthur Burrows and Peter Eckersley recreating a 1922 moment via clips from 1938 and 1960. (It looks weird written down, but trust me.) This episode's 'AM' (Airwave Memories) comes from radio producer Chris Byland. Send yours by recording a 1-2min audio clip of you reminiscing about your earliest memories of radio/TV. Your 'FM' (First-hand Memories) are welcome too - a new feature of emailed-in observations of when YOU saw radio in action. Email me here. A reminder: we're unaffiliated with the BBC. We're just fascinated by how they got under way - and maybe it'll tell us more about today's world of broadcaster v government v press... - We air a few seconds of rare audio of radio pioneer Captain HJ Round...
