Fifty years ago folksingers Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger collaborated with BBC Radio producer Charles Parker to create the award-winning Radio Ballads -- a tapestry of real people's voices, field recordings and musical narrative. Sara Parker, the daughter of Charles Parker, describes the making of the Radio Ballads, past and present, and shares excerpts from the programs along with new material uncovered from the Charles Parker Archive.
