He was a fellow of Christ's College Cambridge, and principal of Cardiff University from 1949–66.[1] Among his publications were a monograph on the reign of Richard II, as well as a biography of 19th-century writer Robert Smith Surtees, titled Jorrick's England.

The actual audio content I care about could probably be decoded on a cheap ARM microcontroller or something if there wasn't so much random stuff in the way.
