Centuries of Sound - 1945 Part Two
I made this!
A four hour immersive soundscape of original music, radio and other sounds from late 1945. Click through for listening options or search for "Centuries of Sound" on yr podcast app.
Can't believe I have finally made it through to the end of the war years, it has honestly been a bit of a struggle, mostly due to my stupid decision to download hundreds of hours of radio recordings. The August section here contains both Hiroshima and VJ Day, and is probably the last long audio/news collage until the 1960s. From now on, mostly music ahead.
There's also lots of good music in this one, of course. But better is on the way.

I'm not sure whether it's a concern or not
but as you go into the 50s and 60s, aren't you going to be getting into music that's mostly still in copyright?
I mean, it doesn't stop youtubers, but given the amount of work you've put in it'll be a small risk of a takedown notice the closer you get to the present

There are three ways mixes go out -

thanks, informative
always enjoy your mixes, especially the early 20th century stuff. My dad was a fan of the baritone Peter Dawson, not widely known now but was biggest recording star of his day for the early phonograph in terms of output.
I reckon the pendulum will swing back to the recording companies now in terms of copyright. Where once the sheer volume made it hard for them to enforce, now with AI matching they'll get better at policing and they'll get the locked down web they always wanted

Great stuff.
Speaking as a patient, I'd love a return of face-to-face GP appointments. If the receptionist grudgingly allocates you a phone call after running through their flow chart, it's so impersonal, and from someone different every time, half of whom end the call as soon as they possibly can. Been years since I was granted a physical visit, but I think I used to be seen for anything up to 20 minutes. Lucky to get five minutes for a call. But I suspect our practice is ridiculously oversubscribed now, since the nearest two shut down.

I still do as many face to face appointments as I did five years ago
Far more in fact.
GP appointment demand has gone up over 20% just in the last three years though and the administrative burden has increased far more than that. We cover 14500 patients, up a thousand from a couple of years ago. Staff sickness has also massively increased with six of my colleagues off ill over the past couple of months, two off on maternity leave and one on long term sick due to burnout. We're trying to book as much locum cover as we can but availability is limited.
I started my on call at 8 this morning and finished seeing patients at 2.15pm going late into my afternoon surgery which started at 2pm and finishing at about half seven before finally going home to eat something and then start on my blood results and letters.
Higher demand and fewer doctors means waits for a routine appointment are now five weeks. The reason the receptionists seem grudging is they literally have no appointments left to book patients into. It's the same at my wife's practice, it's the same at my friend's practices, we haven't been able to get appointments for my children with our registered GP.
I know it's just as shit for other public services, the country is fucked.

Voting Labour is the answer. We can't afford the cost of Conservatism, and running the NHS into the ground is the tory plan.
Removing tory incompetence and tory corruption will free up billions of pounds per year (this is not even a joke). We need to pay doctors and nurses at least the same that Australia and NZ are offering, and increase recruitment too.

National Insurance doesn't pay for the NHS but yes increasing funding is part of the answer.
Staff retention can improved by making staff feel valued rather than getting the media to make them scapegoats for underresourced services not being able to cope with demand, addressing pension and other problems that mean it makes more financial sense for senior clinicians to retire in their 50s than keep working and stop imposing unnecessary workloads and targets to achieve short term political goals.

Our GP's receptionists are on the whole very good, when there are enough of them to be able to answer the phone. I don't know if it's better recruitment or training.
On the other hand, when my wife went to Hastings to stay with family while waiting to have our baby, the GP receptionists behaved like their job was to prevent you from seeing a doctor.

I think very few people appreciate how difficult and stressful their job is.
Most people assume it's as simple as 'answer the phone, book the appointment'.
Most of the patients ringing in will already be feeling frustrated at having to wait in a queue and often having to make several attempts to contact the surgery for what might seem like a fairly straightforward request. The receptionists are constantly having to apologise for a situation that isn't their fault and trying to manage patient's expectations whilst knowing that often they won't be able to provide a satisfactory resolution eg they either tell the patient that they can't have an appointment that day or they have to explain to an irate clinician why they agreed to give a patient an emergency slot for something that clearly wasn't an emergency.
They have to remember all the various protocols and services and which clinical staff can deal with particular problems, have to make decisions about how urgent things are without having clinical training, are subjected to constant abuse and get paid less than if they worked on a supermarket till.
