There's countless interviews with Arthur Scargill centered around the miners strike but probably not as many leading up to 1984. The latest episode of the Barnsley Museums podcast was recorded by John Kelly (founder of Lamproom Musical Theatre Company) in 1983.

Don't mind having a working weekend when you get to spend it at the National Coal Mining Museum being part of the "History and Legacy of the 1984/5 Miners’ Strike Symposium". Thanks Professor Keith Gildart for organising the day, lots to think about for future research 🤔 ✊ ncm.org.uk/whats-on/histo…
