[MikeBr]

Radio Prague English section 30 minute feature for streaming/download:

 

"Jan Šesták was a music-obsessed mega-fan of Radio Luxembourg, tuning in every evening, despite the risks, in communist Czechoslovakia. Tony Prince was a top DJ on the Europe-wide station, which regularly reached tens of millions of listeners. This is the story of how the two met when Prince performed in Šesták’s native Brno on a 1970 tour, starting a friendship that continues to this day. It is also a story about the power of radio."

 

They recently wrote a book about this, The Royal Ruler and the Railway DJ
