The Rise and Rise of Personal Testimony 05 July 2006
There are magazines exclusively devoted to it and the internet is becoming increasingly a home to it, but the idea of going public with personal testimonies is nothing new. From the earliest days, Woman's Hour was putting real voices on air, as listeners told their stories.
