Listening To The Radio


Remember when people got their news from the radio? Listening to the radio was "the thing" in the early and mid-1900's. Programs like, The Breakfast Club; Amos and Andy; Big John and Sparky; Red Rider; No School Today, etc. kept people listening. News of World War I and World War II had people hungry for news all the time. They wanted news and lots of it. It was the first time in history that people could get their news from electronic means instead of print media. Yes, it was one of the great inventions of the 1900's.
