    This engagingly-designed site describes itself as coming from "innovative collaboration of Washington DC theatre and audio artists, writers, composers, and citizen storytellers dedicated to reviving (and reinterpreting) the American Radio Play. Using sound, snips, music, and scripts from 1915 to 1950, we produce internet audio events and live RadioTheatre performances. Relatively little of this is accessible online, except for a few podcasts.

    Remarkable online museum devoted to the work of the inventor of the wireless, Guglielmo Marconi, his other scientific discoveries, the impact of wireless, the development of modern communications, and the work of the Marconi company today. Beautifully inventive in its use of Flash animation (version 4), the site illustrates Marconi’s life and legacy through sound and film clips (using Real, Windows Media Player or QuickTime), photographs, Flash animations (including the role of Marconi broadcasts in the Titanic and the capture of Dr. Crippen), photographs and case studies. There is an online archive with digitised Marconicgrams, documents, and ephemera relating to early radio, television and communications history. There is a simpler HTML version of the site which includes access to the archive.

    The Radio 4 site provides supporting information to the wide range of programmes produced by the station, but for researchers its most valuable feature is likely to be ‘Listen Again’ , which makes available a selection of documentary and news programmes from the past week (for contractual reasons it is not possible to do this for comedy and drama), including Analysis, From our Own Correspondent, Home Truths, PM, Today and The World at One. Radio 4 Choice is a weekly documentary podcast.
