Peter Henry Ashcroft of Sapley, England has been one of Radio Canada’s most loyal listeners since the early 1960s.

Before the advent of email, he was quick with a pen, ready to post a letter voicing deeply held opinions of a variety of subjects.

Ashcroft is an inveterate writer and definitely not a man who hides his light under a bushel.

The Internet, it seems, has only increased his output.

It is quite unlikely that any RCI staffer, at least on the English side, does not know the name Peter Ashcroft or read–on air or off–a letter or bit of verse he has composed.

As we honour RCI’s 70 years, we would be hard-pressed to find a more willing celebrant

Peter Henry Ashcroft spoke to us from his home on a bright, crisp day in Sapley.

  1. Hi
    RCI

    I am fine. I have been in touch with the Radio World since 1993 with the letters, e-mails etc. Now the world is changing very quickly. Most of the material has already been transferred on the internet. But in some countries, internet is almost available, then the only reliable source to send their views in that region is the shortwave broadcast. Just like, new Afghan Govt. has shut down the internet in all over the country. I have a question, what is the new agenda of Radio Canada International for Afghanistan and its neighbouring countries.
    Regards
