PLATO'S dialogue translated and arranged by Francis Kinchin Smith
Produced by RAYNER HEPPENSTALL
This is the first of seven Plato dialogues to be broadcast during the summer and autumn. It is an early dialogue and in tone it is lightly satirical. Protagoras was a sophist or professional teacher. Like Socrates, he was in his old age denounced for atheism and in attempting to escape by sea, drowned. Of this fate there is no hint in the present dialogue.
Further Plato dialogues to be broadcast are: The Republic, The Symposium, Phaedrus, Apology, Crito, and Phaedo.

A diatribe against the world in general and women in particular by PHILIP O'CONNOR with electronic sound by MARC WILKINSON
Production by DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
In this experiment in the fusion of words with electronic music, the sounds are derived from the words alone and reinforce the poet's diatribe. The poem itself is often ambiguous; sometimes it deals with specific matters, at other times it is vague, even surrealistic. The setting accentuates these changes of mood, sometimes stressing the normality of a passage, sometimes aiming at horrible sounds of mutation as though of a radioactive wasteland.
