Radio Day
February: Voices & Identity
Invented in the late 1890s by Guglielmo Marconi and Nikola Tesla, radio changed everything by sending information through the air using radio waves. During its "Golden Age" in the 1920s and 1930s, it became the most important thing in every home. Families would sit together to listen to music, stories, and news about world events. Because it was the first time people could hear voices from far away in real-time, it made the world feel much smaller. Today, the radio reminds us of how important it is to have information that everyone can access easily, even without a screen.
The word of the day: on air (idiom)/ɒn ˈeər/
