From BBC Radio 3. Written by Adrian Bean; Full-cast dramatisation.

Sir Oliver Lodge is a strange and forgotten figure from the Edwardian era:
an Establishment scientist, the unacknowledged inventor of the wireless
before Marconi, a dabbler in psychic phenomena, the friend of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle and Albert Einstein. He was also a tragic figure: destined to
spend his life searching desperately for a way to communicate, using seances,
with his son, Raymond, killed on the Western Front in 1915. Sir Oliver
believed he had cracked the thin veil that separates two worlds.

Many of those seances were transcribed and form the heart of this drama.
