Hello, I'm looking for information about archival WWII-era, BBC radio recordings consisting of four separate radio programs read by E. Graham Howe. The lectures or shows were titled "Cross Purposes", "Create and Share", "How Long", and "The Great Unseen". There is evidently information about these BBC radio shows in the book Where this War Hits You: Four Broadcast Talks (1941) OCLC 2174883, which represents an edited transcript in book form. I'm hoping the book also includes more information about the broadcast. Obviously, I do not have access to this work. What's odd, is that the four shows were supposed to be somewhat controversial, but I can find nothing about the controversy. I'm wondering if the chaos of this war-time era is responsible for the dearth of information on this subject. So I guess what I'm asking is, can anyone find anything else about these BBC radio broadcasts by Howe? Internet Archive has a few words here and there, but not much I can add to the article on Howe. On Google Books, I noticed at least one major work about BBC radio during WWII, but nothing about Howe. Even stranger, I can find nothing regarding his death in 1975, neither an obituary nor a death notice nor a courtesy notice in a professional journal, which is also very odd.
