YI recently read Olivia Evans' post on the radio lecture. I also found the lecture intriguing. It's almost surprising how something so seemingly small was such an essential piece of mass communication in the 1930s.
Radio had a rough start, but had nothing but smooth sailing after it had gained reputability. It's funny to imagine such a small piece of mass communication being so earnestly important to entertainment and the only late-breaking source of news might I add.
Olivia did a good job of reiterating what the lecture was about, and I was grateful for her touching bases on all of the content and refreshing my memory. I also agree that it's extremely fascinating that radio grew at such a massive rate.
