Many of the audio resources are available for download (free!) "on demand" via the BBC School Radio website. Teachers in the UK can also order copies of the audio programs on CD or cassette for a fee.
In addition to the audio programs, the accompanying Teacher Notes provide teachers with talking points and other resources which can be used in conjunction with the BBC School Radio programs.
One of the most interesting series in the collection is the WWII Audio Clip Library. These audio resources provide students with eyewitness accounts, speeches, sounds of war, and popular culture. Many of the programs focus on the lives and perspective of British children during the war.
Included along with the audio clips are historical photographs and additional information to help children place the information in a historical context, and provide students with a unique opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of World War 2 and its impact on the world.
Here is just a small sample of the vast resources in the WW2 Audio Clip Library:
- Listen: 7 year old boy describes the bombing of London
- Listen: Air Raid Siren
- Listen: Vera Lynn sings "White Cliffs of Dover"
