BBC Radio 4: Hidden Histories of the Information Age 23rd October 2014 at 13.45.
Repeated week commencing January 4th with LEO story on 7th January at 9.30 am. One
of six 15 minute programmes, presented by Aleks Krotoski, devoted to specific exhibits
at the new Information Age Gallery which opened on 24th October in the London
Science Museum. The program, on the 23rd of October, told the story of LEO as ushering
in the new age of business computing. It involved interviews with Jessica Bradford from
the Museum (content manager of the new Gallery, Gloria Guy and Frank Land from the
LEO Computers Society, a teashop manageress who had been a user of the original
teashop ordering program and nicely rounded off by Tilly Blyth (who had been largely
instrumental in the making of the new Gallery from concept to final exhibit) from the
Science Museum. Altogether a well-balanced telling of the LEO story and how it fits
into the development of the Information Age. It can be heard on
