A talk about books by Harold Hobson
Few broadcasters have made their radio debut as a result of a challenge, but Harold Hobson , on being so challenged while he and his friends were listening to a broadcast talk, took it up on the spot and wrote the synopsis of his talk while the broadcast was still going on. He sent it up and it was at once accepted. He gave the talk in May this year.
The other week he gave an amusing broadcast on talking to stars, in which he showed how inept he was as an interviewer. He graduated at Oxford and is on the editorial staff of the Christian Science Monitor. He is now engaged on a study of Bernard Shaw for a book to be published in the autumn.

During the last war a soldier wrote from the trenches to Lady Scott saying how the heroic story of Captain Scott had inspired him and his fellow soldiers in their own task. Certainly in all the history of British heroism there is no story greater than that of the almost superhuman feat accomplished by Scott and the members of his Polar expedition in 1911-12. Foiled. as they were of the triumph of being first at the South Pole, they achieved in a sense a greater feat by their triumph over, defeat itself.
Tonight's programme has been broadcast before. It is a reconstruction from documents, letters, and diaries, of the story of the Scott expedition from the moment it was planned until its tragic conclusion in the little tent, so near and yet so far from the safetv of the expedition's base.
