The From the home of the co-breakers and the birthplace of modern computing, this is the Bletchley Park podcast.

Welcome to another Bletchley Park podcast Extra.

On the 29th of July,

Bletchley Park's royal patron, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Kent,

officially opened our World War I exhibit, The Road to Bletchley Park.

Many of those World War I coat breakers went on to work at Bletchley Park during the Second World War and among them was Alastair Deniston, the first operational head of the government

code and cipher school.

In our August episode, we featured an edited version of an interview with two of Commander

Deniston's granddaughters, Candid Connolly and Judith Finch.

In this extra, we bring you the full interview with them as they talked with pride about AGD.

Before that, we sat down with author and historian on Bletchley Park, Dr Joel Greenberg,

for an overview of the commander's secret work.

This episode is being released today, the 30th of September, as part of

International Podcast Day, and we welcome any new listeners to our show. This is what we

call an extras episode, where we follow up an earlier story, with more content so you can

delve deeper into a subject. Our normal podcast is released on the 10th of each month,

and we bring your stories told by the actual

veteran code breakers, world-renowned authors and historians, our staff and volunteers, and

occasionally the odd Hollywood A-lister.

Just finally, how important is it, do you think, that Bletchley Park is kept alive and

accessible to people?
