I've been away for a couple of weeks and just catching up on my emails...
I just wanted to say Andy that this is one of the most original and clever GLAM collaboration projects I've seen - very clever and very clearly of mutual benefit. Well done in negotiating this! Congratulations.

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:
