I’ve finally had a chance to watch a few of the Logic Lane episodes that we recently posted, and I was delighted to discover that the 5th part of the episode on Oxford philosophy of the 1930s (featuring a conversation between Isaiah Berlin and Stuart Hampshire) includes a brief audio clip of J.L. Austin lecturing. I wanted to draw it to your attention, in case, like me, you too have never heard Austin’s voice before.
[Note: see Nat Hansen’s comment below for more about this recording of Austin lecturing]
The clip begins about 1 minute into the 5th section of the film (which, for your convenience, I’ll embed again below):

Thanks for posting the clip of Austin.
The British Library has a recording of Austin’s 1959 Gothenburg lecture that the clip in the video is from.
If anyone’s interested, I listened to the tape a couple of years ago and wrote a short account of what it was like:

That was great, thanks.
Hello, Nat and Teague. Anyone know where to get a hold of the transcript, if it exists?
Hi Lorenzo, there’s no transcript that I’m aware of, but that lecture is now available to listen to online!
