I have written a small survey on this, and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone would take the time to complete it.

For the first episode of Oral Studio History, we were fortunate enough to get Malcolm Addey to sit down and talk with us. We recorded a conversation that lasted almost two and a half hours in Studio B of Avatar Studios.
