Was Upton Sinclair ever recorded reading The Jungle?

I am after public-domain recordings of speeches from suffragists, socialists, communists or other social reformers/utopians!

For a sound-art project I am looking for recorded audio of speeches of anyone arguing for a better world from a progressive standpoint. Esoteric is fine, but the pieces need to be in the public domain or with a licence that will allow remix, tweak, and build upon, like Creative Commons BY or BY-SA. Thanks!

Not specifically about a better world but the only existing record of Virginia Woolf. 8 minutes of a BBC radio programme

Best answer: Then there is of course Krupskaja from the same year as Virginia (1937)

And even Comrade Lenin From 1919

Both recordings from the Marxist Library.
They have Che Guevara too.
