Over the last few months, I've been in discussion with the BBC about
open licensing some of their content. As an experiment, they've agreed
to open licence a selection of audio "snippets" of notable people
talking, from certain of their radio programmes.
I uploaded the first three yesterday:

and am helping them to run an event, "Speakerthon", in London, on
Saturday 18 January 2014, to upload more, Details are at:
