David Hendy is "intrigued by the relationship between radio's past and radio's future ... I'd like to know - and I'm looking for ways to find out - exactly what it felt like for ordinary people to listen to radio in the earliest years, how it changed the way they thought about the world."

And Chris Keene has started to post his Pops to his Dipity timeline.
