This piece gives context and meaning to the songs people heard on the radio during World War Two and that are familiar to many of us today.
Amanda Wilde lets the people who experienced that era serve as narrators and do all the talking.
It starts with them introducing themselves and they tell us what life was like for them during WWII and what these songs("White Cliffs of Dover", "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me" "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and others) meant to them.
With some archival tape and plenty of music, this piece has a good pace, it draws the listener in.
