In this episode, Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by Elizabeth Darling to discuss 'Palace of the Ether', her new book about BBC Broadcasting House published by Lund Humphries. The Grade II* listed Broadcasting House, iconic headquarters of the BBC, was completed in 1932, with a substantial number of architects and other designers were involved in the process of its creation, including the architect G. Val Myer and the engineer Marmaduke Tudsbery, Edward Maufe, Raymond McGrath, Serge Chermayeff and Wells Coates. Its position as the first purpose-built headquarters of the national broadcaster means the building has much to tell us about interwar architecture, media history and the institution itself. This episode was supported by Lund Humphries.
