Earlier this summer, I wrote about songs that were popular in 1968. Then last week, I listened to four really great podcasts from the BBC Documentary Archive on this pivotal year. The four episodes of "1968: The Year that Changed the World?" were originally broadcast in 2008 by BBC World Service Radio. The neat thing about this series is that it examines events around the world - Vietnam, Paris, China, Britain, the United States and more.
The links will take you to the BBC World Service page for each episode where you can stream the programs or download them as an mp3. Each page also has a description of the episode and a list of related links. Alternatively you can download the programs on iTunes, which is where I found them (or more accurately, they found me after I subscribed to the podcast).
Episode One - American Election and Vietnam.
Episode Two - The Revolt of the Young.
Episode Three - Race and Nationalism.
Episode Four - The Communist World.
Happy Listening!
