Ironically, the links in this chain are very difficult to trace. There was a weekly radio program broadcast on 612 ABC Brisbane, Queensland, Australia titled "The Karinthy Connection".  This apparently was the first broadcast:
12 April 2011 , 6:18 PM by nicole gundi
In 1929, Hungarian writer and poet Frigyes Karinthy wrote a short story called Chains.
Few people know of the book or the author but you would know the phrase he coined, “six degrees of separation”.
Welcome to The Karinthy Connection.
Finding all the programs in the series is not easy. One can only trace them backwards. The last program I was able to find was this, but without a backward link:
The Karinthy Connection with Bern
13 December 2011 , 7:08 PM by Bern Young
This is the previous installment:
This is the still previous installment, with the customary introduction. From here you can trace the series back to the beginning, episode by episode:
The Karinthy Connection with James Reyne
29 November 2011 , 7:23 PM by Bern Young
In 1929, Hungarian writer and poet Frigyes Karinthy wrote a short story called "Chains". Few people know of the book or the author but you would know the phrase he coined, "six degrees of separation".
This is The Karinthy Connection.
Every Tuesday after 5.30pm, a music lover is invited onto Drive with Bernadette Young to continue the musical chain.
If the series picked up again in 2012, I don't have the patience to hunt it down. I cannot find it in the current or recent programming of the station. There is or was a separate program on this station called "The Chain", but whether this was inspired in any way by the same idea I do not know.

Science fiction, utopia ... & the Hungarian contribution
Here is my 10th podcast, recently recorded:
I tell a story interweaving the developments in ideas of utopia, dystopia, and in science fiction from the 16th century to the future. I briefly discuss the utopias of the 16th and 17th centuries and the proto-science fiction of the 17th and 18th centuries. The bulk of my presentation focuses on the 19th century, in which science fiction takes shape, new utopian prospects arise, dystopian scenarios emerge, and the future is invented. I begin the story of true science fiction with "Frankenstein" (1818) and continue with developments in France and the USA, with an excursion into futuristic works from Hungary. I discuss key roles played by Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe, and Edgar Page Mitchell. I review the history of time travel fiction prior to and including H. G. Wells. I then summarize developments in utopianism. Towards the end of the 19th century dystopian works appear. Wells' "The Time Machine" (1895) marks a historical turning point, as do his other science fiction and futuristic works. Finally, I review key dystopian works covering the years 1920-1970.
The Hungarian literary contribution does not play a sizable role in my podcast, but others would neglect it completely. I mention the historical significance of Imre Madách's The Tragedy of Man (Az ember tragédiája, 1861), Mór Jókai's The Novel of the Next Century (a.k.a. A Novel of the Coming Century; A jövő század regénye, 1872), and Sándor Szathmári's Voyage to Kazohinia (in English, 1975, 2012; in Hungarian, first (censored) edition, Kazohinia (Gulliver utazása Kazohiniában), 1941; in Esperanto, Vojaĝo al Kazohinio, 1958) and Maŝinmondo (Machine-World, in Esperanto, 1964).

The Contributions of Esperanto to World Culture: Part 3: Hungary
Jen nova mia podkasto anglalingva: La kontribuo de Esperanto al monda kulturo: parto 3a: la Esperanto-hungara beletra konekso (daŭrigata). La cetero estas en la angla:
Here is my latest podcast:
I reiterate the main points of parts 1 and 2, with a reminder of the importance of Esperanto for Hungarians then and now, especially as a conduit for Hungary's humanistic cultural heritage in the face of bigotry and barbarism. I then review the activities on behalf of Esperanto on the part of leading Hungarian writers associated with the literary journal "Nyugat" (1908-1941), with special attention to Mihaly Babits and Frigyes Karinthy. I also discuss the classic verse drama "The Tragedy of Man" by Imre Madach, with a passage in Esperanto and English translation. I outline the landmark Esperanto anthology of Hungarian literature of 1933, with a note on author Mor Jokai (1825-1904). I round out my presentation of the pre-World War II era by highlighting two additional Hungarian Esperantist writers, Lajos Tarkony and Imre Baranyai.
Following fascist, Nazi, and Stalinist repression, Esperanto publishing resumes in Hungary starting in 1956. I discuss the leading Hungarian Esperanto cultural magazine "Hungara Vivo" (1961-1990) and the prominent editor, scholar, and critic Vilmos Benczik. I summarize the literary achievements of two important postwar Hungarian Esperantist writers, Endre Toth and Istvan Nemere. I close with a quote from Graham Greene's novel "Stamboul Train".
At the beginning of part 3, I make a pointed remark about the resurgence of reactionary politics in Hungary, alluding to anti-Semitic and anti-Roma provocations.
Note that I reiterate the importance of Madách and Karinthy for Szathmári.
At the end I also mention Istvan Ertl.
My performance here is not perfect, but hopefully it is listenable. I tend to overdo details, but efforts such as these are rehearsals for future efforts.

The Contributions of Esperanto to World Culture: Parts 1 & 2
Or, in Esperanto: "La Kontribuoj de Esperanto al Monda Kulturo: Partoj 1 & 2." Jen mia nova podkasto, de la 3a de majo 2013, kaj mia anglalingva resumo de mia anglalingva podkasto.
Parto 1: Superrigardo: Kulturo & Esperanto, Zamenhof, historio de Esperanta beletro. Parto 2: La centra rolo de Hungaroj kaj Hungario: Literatura Mondo, Soros, Baghy, Kalocsay.
Kun miaj deklamoj en la Esperantaj originaloj kaj en anglaj tradukoj:
"Ho, Mia Kor'" & "Pluvo" de L. L. Zamenhof, kun tradukoj de Marjorie Boulton
"Sunsubiro" & "En Ĉi Murdepoko" de Kálmán Kalocsay, kun tradukoj de A. Z. Foreman
5/3/13 The Contributions of Esperanto to World Culture: Parts 1 & 2
Part 1: Overview: The concept of culture is discussed, as is the question of whether and in what sense the Esperanto community can be considered a culture, a question on which even the most celebrated Esperantist literati have differed. I emphasize the Esperanto phenomenon as a subculture and culture-forming process, with overall humanitarian contributions to world civilization, and artistic, mainly literary contributions, of both original works and translations. I discuss the perspective and literary contributions of Esperanto's creator Zamenhof in relation to the Esperanto movement and world situation of his time. I recite two original poems of Zamenhof in Esperanto and in English translation. I give a general historical map of the development of Esperanto literature.
Part 2: Hungary: After World War I, Hungary became the world headquarters of Esperanto literature. The publishing house Literatura Mondo was headed by Tivadar Soros, father of George Soros. I provide virtually unknown historical tidbits on racial issues from the literary journal, also called Literatura Mondo. I then discuss the towering figures of the period between the world wars, the Hungarians Julio Baghy and Kálmán Kalocsay. I end by reciting two original poems by Kalocsay in Esperanto, with English translations.

The Utopian Vision of Sándor Szathmári (podcast)
"The Utopian Vision of Sándor Szathmári" (6 May 2012) is the 6th hour-long episode of my show Studies in a Dying Culture hosted by Think Twice Radio. Click to find my shows including this one. Summary:
5/6/12 The Utopian Vision of Sándor Szathmári
We examine the fiction and ideas of Sándor Szathmári (1897–1974), eminent Hungarian & Esperanto writer, author of utopian & dystopian fiction, futuristic & science fiction, philosophical & social satire. His novel Voyage to Kazohinia, written in 1935, ranks with the dystopian literature of the time—Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell. Szathmári is little known in the English-speaking world, but this is about to change with the imminent publication of the English translation in the USA by New Europe Books. In this episode we summarize the novel and Szathmári’s 1964 novella “Machine-World” published in Esperanto, with special attention to the underlying conceptual structure of Szathmári’s fictional universe. It is also fitting to commemorate Szathmári this year, the 125th anniversary of Esperanto in the public arena.

Jen mia tuthora podkasto en la angla lingvo pri Szathmari: "The Utopian Vision of Sándor Szathmári" [La Utopia Vizio de Sándor Szathmári]. Ĉi tiu estas la 6a registraĵo de mia radioprogramo "Studies in a Dying Culture" ["Studoj pri Mortanta Kulturo"— titolo prenite el la verkaro de Christopher Caudwell, martiro de la Hispana Civila Milito] sub egido de "Think Twice Radio" [Repensu-Radio]. Alklaku por trovi la programon. Jen traduko de la resumo:
Ni ekzamenas la fikcion kaj idearon de Sándor Szathmári (1897–1974) — eminenta hungara kaj esperantista verkisto, aŭtoro de utopia & malutopia fikcio, futureca & scienc- fikcio, filozofiaj & sociaj satiraĵoj. Lia romano Vojaĝo al Kazohinio, verkita en 1935, enviciĝendas en la malutopian  literaturon de la epoko — kun Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell. Szathmári estas apenaŭ konata en la anglofona sfero, sed ĉi tiu situacio ŝanĝiĝos per la nuna eldono de la angla traduko en Usono de New Europe Books [Noveŭropaj Libroj]. Ĉi-okaze ni resumas la romanon kaj la novelon Maŝinmondon publikigitan en 1964, kun aparta atento al la baza koncepta strukturo de la fikcia kosmo de Szathmári. Taŭgas ankaŭ soleni la verkaron de Szathmári ĉi-jare, okaze de 125a datreveno de publika inaŭguro de Esperanto mem.

Zamenhof's 150th birthday on PRI's 'The World' radio
Paging Dr. Esperanto, and what not to say in Ireland’s parliament
By Patrick Cox, PRI's The World, December 17, 2009
An old program commemorating Zamenhof's 150th birthday, with links, as well as a sound file on Esperanto.  This broadcast also deals with words proscribed by the Irish Parliament.
Arika Okrent and Esther Schor are interviewed, with some attention to the Jewish roots of Zamenhof's creation. Okrent sees the late 19th century as the era of social engineering experiments. Schor discusses Zamenhof's background and motivations, as well as the egalitarian ethic of the Esperanto movement. And of course Incubus is mentioned. Okrent's moral: hand over your language and alow others to ruin its perfection, if you want it to succeed. At the end there's a recording of "The Girl from Ipanema" in Esperanto.
As an appendix, Cox gives us more of Schor's interview beyond the limits of the original broadcast format. She expands on Zamenhof's background, including his early preoccupation with the Jewish question, his desire to reform the Jewish religion, his project to reform Yiddish, his participation in the Zionist movement, projects all eventually abandoned for Esperanto. Schor describes Zamenhof's intervention and strategy for Esperanto in some detail, as well as the growth of the language over the ensuing 122 years. She mentions neologisms in connection with the ability to form compound words. Cox finds it difficult to pin down the motivations of Esperantists. Schor learned Esperanto to undertake her scholarly project; there are diverse motivations for others. She acquits herself very well in her presentation of the Esperanto world. Schor's forthcoming book on Esperanto is announced.
The Esperanto segment of this radio program comprises the first 20 minutes, 30 seconds. The rest concerns the Irish Parliament. This is an exceptionally fair treatment of Esperanto.

Sir Peter Stothard vs. Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto
This is smug British shtick at its worst:
Sir Peter Stothard, "The Book Show", ABC Radio National, February 12, 2009
"The editor of the Times Literary Supplement, Sir Peter Stothard, takes us through three new books featured in his august journal. A new book on why evolution is true, reviewed by true-believer Richard Dawkins; a book on why politicians negotiationg with Iran might have to brush up on Persian poetry, and a Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto, complete with Esperanto puns."
This is not very august or literary, it's just retarded. But at least it's publicity. To listen to the Esperanto segment, click here (mp3 - 4MB).
I am not terribly impressed either by Esperantist John Wells' review: "A long kolego," Times Literary Supplement, February 6, 2009.
Even the most cursory overview of the literary history of Esperanto demands a bit more than this.  Anyway, here is Mondial's advert for the book. You can get a fair preview from Google books:
Concise Encyclopedia of the Original Literature of Esperanto by Geoffrey Sutton (New York: Mondial, 2008). 740 pp.
Esperantists are not above criticizing their literary tradition. I've just uploaded an old paper by Holocaust survivor and poet Julius Balbin, with my comments:

Esperanto USA 2010 Congress (4): “Esperanto, Washington, & the World in 1910”
Ralph Dumain: “Esperanto, Washington, and the World in 1910” /
“Esperanto, Vaŝingtono, kaj la Mondo en 1910”
58th National Congress of Esperanto USA (Bethesda, MD, May 28-31, 2010) /
58-a Landa Kongreso de Esperanto USA
On May 30 I delivered my talk on this topic in Esperanto, with the assistance of Verlette Simon, who coordinated my accompanying “slide show.” This talk is part of a larger research effort to analyze the American Esperanto movement of a century ago with a view to the broader social forces that converged on Washington in 1910, as my way of commemorating this centennial and the Zamenhof sesquicentennial. (1)
I briefly enumerated a number of relevant perspectives: diplomacy, science and technology, commerce, labor, women’s rights, religion and freethought, Latin America, European and American Jews and Zamenhof’s own Eastern European Jewish perspective, and the general ethos of optimistic prospects on the threshold of the 20th century which began with epochal scientific and technological breakthroughs. My talk took off from a contrast between Zamenhof’s famous “Land of Liberty” speech and the reality of Jim Crow Washington, and culminated in the hitherto unexplored African-American perspective.
Most noteworthy is the contrast between our national congress of 2010—which could have gone unnoticed by the wider world were it not for the luck of being briefly spotlighted by National Public Radio (2)—and the 1910 International Congress, which was the subject of daily headline news in four Washington newspapers, as well as reportage by newspapers around the nation. My “slide show” was comprised largely of clippings from the Washington Herald and Washington Times, which reveal the range of activities of the Congress, including the performance of Shakespeare’s As You Like It in Esperanto and the use of Esperanto in a major league baseball game, as well as the serious attention given to Esperanto by diplomats, heads of state, government representatives, and a major American labor leader.
Then I sprang the aspect of my project of greatest personal interest: my attempt to document the reportage of Esperanto and international languages in the black press and my quest for the unknown history of black participation in the Esperanto movement. My most significant find here was William Pickens, who surfaced as an advocate of Esperanto in 1906 and who later became an eminent professor and college administrator and leader in the civil rights movement of the time. There’s a further linkage to the contemporary poet Elizabeth Alexander, who writes of Pickens in a poem as the “first Afro-American Esperantist” and who delivered on the steps of the Capitol the commemorative poem she wrote for the inauguration of President Obama! Who could have foreseen such an event in 1910?
I followed up this presentation with an hour-long radio program in Buffalo, NY, on June 7, in which I summarized this talk, added remarks on likely reasons for Zamenhof’s perspective on the United States, and recited my three Esperanto translations of poems by William Blake which I had recited in the “Poezia Rondo” which also transpired at the Esperanto Congress.
