    Orwell's Last Stand: A Cold War Documentary

    By 1949, George Orwell was dying. He didn’t know it, but the next 12 months would be his final stand against totalitarianism. Stuck in the Cranham Sanatorium in the Cotswolds, Orwell, real name Eric Blair, was attempting to get over the ‘white plague’ of tuberculosis, publish 1984, which he had completed by December 1948, and spread the readership of Animal Farm. He would also cooperate with a new secretive organisation, The Information Research Department, and correspond with an agent operating for another unit from the secret world, The Pond.  With thanks to The Imperial War Museum, Paul Lashmar, Dorian Lynskey and Mark Stout.  Lashmar’s Spin, Spies and the Fourth Estate can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spin-Spies-Fourth-Estate-Lashmar/dp/1474443087/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1614502073&refinements=p_27%3APaul+Lashmar&s=books&sr=1-1 Lynskey’s Ministry of Truth can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ministry-Truth-Biography-George-Orwells/dp/1509890734/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RBKVCZKRPG2K&dchild=1&keywords=dorian+lynskey&qid=1614502154&s=books&sprefix=Dorian+Lynskey%2Cstripbooks%2C185&sr=1-1 Music credit:  Scott Buckley’s Machina, Beautiful Oblivion and Ascension licenced under CC-BY 4.0 https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/ Audio credits:  Emma Topping, Ash Steel, Norman Reddaway (interviewed by ©The Imperial War Museum) and Christopher Hitchens reading Robert Conquest’s George Orwell (1969) poem  About the Tech, Power and Media Podcast  The Tech, Power and Media podcast looks at the intersection and relationships between technology, media and the power it creates, limits and changes.
