Tommorrow's Technology Today Background

The first product of the HMFC Memorial Sound Archive is the collection of all the episodes known to survive of the radio show, Tomorrow's Technology Today.

Painstakingly restored by Robin Catling and Victoria Pritchard, with the assistance of Studio 1919, Tomorrow's Technology Today was a pioneering broadcast which ran from 1936 to 1939.

As a short-form, interlude show, Tomorrow's Technology Today was intended to discuss current and future inventions, according to Lord Reith's manifesto for public broadcasting to inform, educate and entertain.
