[Swprograms] Worth a listen: BBC Radio 4: "MI6: A Century in the Shadows"

[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Radio 4 has begun a three-part documentary series commemorating the
100-year anniversary of MI6, the UK's analog to the USA Central
Intelligence Agency.  Considering the importance that radio has played
in the communication of information between field agents and
headquarters, folks here might find it worth a listen.  Bletchley Park
- the codebreaking center for British intelligence - is mentioned in
the first episode of the series.

The first episode, "Gadgets and Green Ink", is available on-demand
until roughly 0900 UTC on Monday, August 3rd; that's when the second
episode, "Heroes and Villains", goes to air; that episode will then be
available online for a week.
