There's something aplenty for all interests and much more besides. The quality of the subjects on diverse topics are consistent in sociological value. Orwell's radio broadcasts have not survived as recordings. But this very welcome volume goes some way to filling that gap. We can't hear his voice, but we understand what made him and the times he lived in. Human nature hasn't changed so much that much here is still relevant today.
