18. Orwell: talks producer
This realization came from Orwell’s switch in roles at the BBC from 1941 to 1943, from a Talks Assistant in the Empire Department to a Talks Producer for its India Section. As a producer, he expanded and improved distance education programs aimed at English literature students at Bombay and Calcutta universities. To this end, he recruited high-profile speakers such as T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Stephen Spender, Harold Laski, William Empson, a range of poets, cultural critics, scientists, and intellectuals—mostly Indian—to speak on a wide variety of topics.
