The radio is a major part of the 1930’s. This decade is considered the “golden age of radio”. The thought of the radio exhilarated many people, no matter their age. The radio was a distraction from their life for many. For many their radio was the centerpiece in their living room, much like a television is now. Families gathered around to listen from a range of options. President Franklin Roosevelt even hopped onto the bandwagon by having his very own broadcast. Broadcasts like these influenced people’s lives majorly. By 1939, over twenty-eight million American people owned a radio. Eventually, as new inventions came to be, the radio declined in popularity. The radio and the stuff that has been learned from it will live on in American history.
