Presenter at the beginning and at the end of this unique interview is Pete Myers (1939-1998), who was a radio host at Radio Netherlands English section for many years. He joined Radio Netherlands in 1976, so this must be from his years at BBC radio where he joined the African radio section in the mid-sixties and was the first presenter of 'Good Morning Africa'.
