A quick hit of Voiceworks: Sound Business today with an unusually topical focus as Jim Salveson turns his attention to Ukraine and the invasion of the country by Russian forces in the spring of 2022.
In March, as part of an effort to support Ukraine's defence of its borders, the BBC announced it would be using short wave radio transmissions to deliver trustworthy news to the population of the country (and neighbouring Russia).
In this episode of Voiceworks: Sound Business we delve into exactly what the BBC is doing, why it's doing it and where, throughout history, this kind of battle against propaganda has yielded positive results.
To cover all that the guest on this show is Dr Kate Vigurs, A historian and author who has studied the history of Short WAve radio and its role in major conflicts.
