Other notable recordings include suffragette Christabel Pankhurst and the first sitting woman MP, Nancy Astor; legendary industrialist Andrew Carnegie; the historic abdication broadcast of Edward VIII; Mahatma Gandhi on Hinduism and Aga Khan III on Islam; William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and philosopher Bertrand Russell, pondering the extinction of the human race.
