Some are in English and some in Czech, many of them are broadcasts produced by the BBC, others by the Czechoslovak government in exile as part of the fight against Nazi Germany on the airwaves. Radio archivists are gradually working through the material and already some fascinating recordings have turned up. They include a completely forgotten radio play by František Langer who was one of the best known playwrights in pre-war Czechoslovakia. The play, recorded in English, tells the life story of the first Czechoslovak President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.
