The second of four programmes depicting radio from the listener's point of view. This week: the 1930s.
"We looked upon the radio as a lifeline. You had newspapers of course, but you could not get the news really quickly. And the music - it was wonderful to be able to hear all those dance bands. In the 1930s the radio really was the centrepoint of our lives." Producer Angela Hind
