EMC 2410 Lecture 7 Radio Techniques
During the Golden Age of Radio from 1934-1950, radio became intimate family entertainment. People regularly listened to music, news, sports, talk and weather on their radios. However, radio also featured surprisingly popular comedy shows and dramatic programming. Serial radio dramas allowed characters to develop over time, engaging listeners. Iconic programs like The Jack Benny Show established familiar personas and supporting casts, drawing in large audiences. Radio transformed private spaces into theaters of imagination through the power of audio storytelling alone.
