Episode 5: On the Radio
Update: 2020-11-07
Description
For most people television is the number one medium, I think. But I myself am an absolute radio lover. I grew up listening to it all day long and still today it accompanies me every day. In the heyday of Swing there was no television and people gathered at home around the radio to be entertained and informed. In this episode I unravel for you the complex history of the invention of the radio, tell you about how radio crowned Benny Goodman the "King of Swing" and how Swing was used as an insidious weapon in World War II. Of course, all this is interspersed with the unique flair of the radio program from the past - the conversations, the commercials, the music. Enjoy this episode of Bugle Call Radio - this time the name says it all!
