Vatican Radio's inauguration: a sound picture

To mark and to celebrate World Radio Day, Vatican Radio looks back to its own inauguration by Pope Pius XI and Guglielmo Marconi on the 12th February 1931.
In this programme presented and produced by Veronica Scarisbrick you can hear a sound picture of that special day, with the voices of this Pope, of Marconi and his daughter Elettra, as well as the crackly sound of that very first historic broadcast.
By the way this is one of the programmes we downloaded on to Benedict XVI's i Pod when he came to visit us here at the beginning of his pontificate.
