\"RNW-MediaNetwork\"<\/a>Earlier this week, I posted an article<\/a> about wind-up (clockwork) radio inventor, Trevor Baylis.<\/p>\n

I recently discovered a 1995 episode of RNW’s Media Network, which featured Baylis–and the clockwork radio–in the context of inventions that would carry us\u00a0beyond\u00a0the new millenium:<\/p>\n

Remember Trevor Baylis and the wind-up radio? I organised a conference for Radio Netherlands at the International Broadcasting Convention IBC between September 11-14th 1995. We decided to celebrate the fact that we were 5 years away from a new Millennium by looking at the technologies that would carry us forward. That included a look at different codings for DAB, a reality check on radio by Sri Lankan broadcaster Victor Goonetilleke and a special performance about the Clockwork Radio from Trevor Baylis, the British inventor who turned up in Amsterdam and charmed the audience with his frank, funny and brilliant introduction to the concept of wind-up radios. A few weeks after the conference we produced a special CD for those who took part. This is a copy for those who missed it. It’s double the length of a normal Media Network, just over an hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can download<\/a> this archive episode of Media Network on the Vintage Vault website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
