Tuning into the radio is now an integrated part of our everyday lives. We
tune in while we drive, while we work, while we cook in our kitchens. Just
100 years ago, it was a novelty to turn on a radio. The radio emerged at the
turn of the twentieth century, the result of decades of scientific
experimentation with the theory that information could be transmitted over
long distances. Radio as a medium reached its peak-the so-called Radio
Golden Age-during the Great Depression and World War II. This was a time
when the world was rapidly changing, and for the first time Americans
experienced those history-making events as they happened. The emergence and
popularity of radio shifted not just the way Americans across the country
experienced news and entertainment, but also the way they communicated. This
exhibition explores the development, rise, and adaptation of the radio, and
its impact on American culture.
