Program Description

Event Details

 World War II was the first war in history to receive almost continuous coverage on radio. This one-hour presentation examines how radio rose to the challenge of life during wartime, with sounds clips from news broadcasts, presidential speeches, entertainment shows, programs designed to boost morale (both at home and among the armed forces) and more!  Steve Darnall is the host of Those Were the Days, a Chicago radio show dedicated to the Golden Age of radio, and the publisher of Nostalgia Digest, a national publication devoted to chronicling that Golden Age of entertainment. A Q&A session will be available after the presentation.  Please Join us on Facebook live.
