- Veteran BBC radio broadcaster John Snagge - who first broadcast for the BBC in 1927 - discusses how microphones evolved throughout his career. Mr Snagge recalls the bulky 'meat safe' microphones originally used by the BBC - which were wheeled around on mahogany legs, Reisz microphones - that needed the occasional kick to unpack their carbon crystals, and moving coil microphones which had to be housed in a hut during outside broadcasts to minimise background noise.
For the purposes of illustration, some BBC archive images have been added to this interview.
This clip is from Nationwide, originally broadcast 27 March, 1972.

Crazy his first broadcast was 50 years prior and we are now watching 50 years after
This was an absolutely fantastic and interesting video. Thank you for sharing.
And thank YOU for letting us know about this fascinating history!
Thank you for sharing BANDREW ...interesting one...by the way CONG for the 300 k
Well, that is marvellous. Michael Barratt was clearly enjoying himself and Snagge was wonderfully authoritative - such beautiful vowel sounds.
What a voice though, even in old age...
John Snagge was a great broadcaster.
That first microphone was just 😳
This man is 118yrs old today..
Amazing to think his first broadcast was nearly 100 years ago. A very important figure at the BBC, not only during WWII but apparently he was also instrumental in getting The Goon Show on air.
Rare, is this really true?
@@boeingpameesha9550 Yes it is. They also used his name for parodies of his broadcasts for which he did special recordings.
Someone ought to dig up Mr Snagge and give him a microphone. I could listen to that voice all day.
Wonderful to see him in vision.
My only experience of hearing John Snagge was as the often put-upon announcer who was part of the Goon Shows, so lovely to see him years later still sharp and as witty as ever.
What a joy to see John Snagge speak
Great interview, and thanks guys for adding those archive images to this edit 👍
It's fascinating how fast technology has come. I can only imagine what will humans have 200 years from now. Great upload.
A great interview, and the archival stills adds to it.
Thank you. Its this kind of content that makes this channel so amazingly wonderful! Sitting here with my SM7b and Heil PR40 its good to know where things began!

Does anyone at BBC Archives actually watch the content they upload. John Snagge said here at 0:25 his first broadcast was on December 11th 1924. But in your description you say "John Snagge - who first broadcast for the BBC in 1927" - come on BBC Archive, are you really that lazy?
Are men being psychologically manipulated to speak softly like women? 🤔
