The History Zone

Tonight's History Zone is produced by Bobby Seiler and he's provided this blog post to give us an idea of what we can look forward to...

With summer in full flow, Jamie McIvor introduces a History Zone celebrating the good weather with a collection of archive programmes with a seasonal flavour. This classic collection of "do you remember where you were" radio programmes include fascinating programmes on everything from the terrorist attacks on London in 2005, the death of Princess Diana in August 1997, the Pope's visit to Glasgow in 1982 and Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech from August 1963.

There are also personal recollections about Frank Sinatra's legendary gig at Ibrox in 1990, the Gloup Fishing Disaster in Shetland in 1881 and the history of the Edinburgh International Festival. Even if the weather doesn't behave itself, you're guaranteed some summer memories on this week's History Zone

Tonight's History Zone goes out on MW this evening at 0030 and is available to listen again on iPlayer.
