Six years in radio's history, recalling an era when both microphones and audiences were larger.... 1: 1936

The wireless listener of the 1930s was fed an incessant diet of dance bands and establishment voices - until 1936 when it was discovered that the microphone could operate outside the confines of the studio and Sir John Reith's bright young men rushed headlong into the world.
