It wasn't a piece of furniture, though it looked like one—a polished wooden box with a glowing dial. For the first time in history, the world was coming inside. Before the 1930s, if you wanted news or stories, you bought a newspaper. But print was cold; it required literacy and effort. Radio was different. It was the first medium to reach a truly mass audience simultaneously. It didn't matter if you were a banker in New York or a sharecropper in Georgia; when you tuned in, you heard the same voice. Radio became a "friend" to a nation battered by the Great Depression. Families would huddle together, staring not at a screen, but at each other, or into the glowing vacuum tubes, as they listened to stories that reinforced old-fashioned family values. From the moral lessons of daytime soap operas to the grit of detective hours, radio promised that despite the chaos of the world, someone was looking out for the "American Way."
