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:

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. -Liam
