Dr Alcuin Reid, author of "The Organic Development of the Liturgy" was interviewed on Vatican Radio the other day. See the page "Old Rites, New Needs". The subtitle of the item is "With the Latin Mass Society in the UK reporting new interest in the celebration of the Tridentine rite, many priests are wondering where to turn for help..."
Alcuin Reid and John Medlin are interviewed extensively in the fifteen minute piece which gives both of them an opportunity to make a number of important points and clear up misunderstandings.
A positive feature about the Latin Mass Society on Vatican Radio is another of those things that would have been unthinkable only a short while ago.

It waould be nice to know what Dr Alcuin Reid and John Medlin had to say. Is there a recording of this? Or a transcript even??

I never heard this; it didn't appear to come onto the RSS feed.
You need to go to the link I gave. Then click on the little speaker icon at the end of the line of text. This starts the recording up in real audio (streaming - you can't download it.)

I think you can, at least in Firefox - just R-click and select 'Save Link As...'
If you are using Firefox, there are tools available for downloading embedded content for offline use. Try Download Embedded for most content and Media Pirate for Flash videos (YouTube, Google Video, etc).
Thanks, Edmund. Silly of me not to have noticed that - in the past with some of these streaming things, the right-click & save didn't work. perhaps that was in the days when I was using IE.
Thank you for the links to those plugins, too.
Father Tim ....oops, I never noticed the speaker icon, need new glasses. Yes, its a good and concise recording. Looking forward to attending one of the Masses at Merton College. Keith C
Doesnt Vatican Radio deserve to be better known and promoted? All parish newsletters should show the SW frequencies, 5890, 7250, 9645, 11740 kHz. Mass in Latin daily at 6.30am, Office at 4.00pm, sung latin, rosary, Latin, daily at 7.40pm, etc.. Solid fare, though English programs can be a bit wishy washy at times. These days good SW radios are compact and cheap, not just for geeks, or am I a geek....?
