It seems the United States always been a divided nation in many respects. Since its founding, proponents of the right and left have battled for influence and control. It was no different during the Great Depression of the 1930s, as the struggle played out on the new medium of radio. Father Charles Coughlin was a Catholic priest who's radio shows reached millions. He promoted right wing conspiracies, Christian Nationalism, and antisemitism on the air. Louisiana senator and former governor Huey Long was a progressive populist who on the radio called for wealth re-distribution, government involvement and expanded social programs. In Coughlin you hear Rush Limbaugh, in Long you hear Bernie Sanders. We have two presentations, Coughlin in 1939, and Long in 1935. Both were early supporters of President Franklin Roosevelt, but went their separate ways after he was elected. More at KRobCollection.com

In March of 1932 Jack Benny was headlining on Broadway as part of Earl Carroll's Vanities when friend Ed Sullivan invited him to appear on Ed's radio show. At the time Benny had no great interest in radio, but he went on Sullivan's quarter-hour show March 19th, 1932, as a favor. His first line was “Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jack Benny talking. There will be a slight pause while you say, ‘Who cares?” Canada Dry Ginger Ale's advertising agency heard Benny and offered him a show. Benny debuted on NBC's Blue Network on May 2nd, 1932. This initial series aired Mondays and Wednesdays. Benny's wife of five years, Sadye Marks, who'd performed with him on Vaudeville, joined the cast on August 3rd as Mary Livingstone. In storyline she was a young Benny fan from Plainfield, New Jersey. Eventually she read humorous poetry and letters from her mother, and much later she would become a main deflator of Benny's ego. On October 30th, 1932 the show moved to CBS. During this time Benny began ribbing his sponsor in a gentle, good-natured way. Canada Dry got upset, and despite a rating in radio's top twenty, they canceled the show after January 26th, 1933. Chevrolet, which had recently lost Al Jolson, was waiting in the wings. On Friday, March 17th, 1933 at 10PM from New York, Benny debuted with The Chevrolet Program over NBC's Red Network. The June 23rd, 1933 episode was the last of the season as well as Mary Livingstone's twenty-eighth birthday. Howard Claney was announcer with Frank Black as orchestra leader and James Melton as the tenor. When the show returned in the fall it was on Sundays at 10PM from New York. Benny's program slowly began to morph from variety into more developed comedic skits. He also started to show the character traits that would come to define his persona. Unfortunately, Chevrolet didn't like the series and fired him after the April 1st, 1934 episode. But, the General Tire Company immediately scooped him up. Benny debuted on their program the following Friday, April 6th, 1934 at 10PM. There, he first worked with announcer Don Wilson. Wilson would remain with Benny until 1965. Often the butt of weight-based jokes, Wilson's deep belly laugh that could often be heard above the studio audience and his deep, rich voice became a show trademark. This is audio from that April 6th, 1934 episode. That summer Mary and Jack adopted their daughter Joan. She was two weeks old. Jack later said in his autobiography that as Joan grew older, she came to look like he and Mary. She had Mary's face with Jack's blue eyes and his love for music. Benny, Don Wilson, and Mary Livingstone worked together, along with tenor Frank Parker and orchestra leader Don Bestor on The General Tire Show until September 28th, 1934. Then, General Foods came calling. They wanted Benny's help saving a gelatin product of theirs called Jell-O, which was getting badly beaten by Knox Gelatin in sales. On October 14th, 1934 Benny moved to Sunday nights at 7PM from NBC's Blue Network. His rating immediately leapt into the top five. On April 7th, 1935 the show was regularly broadcast from New York for the final time. The Jell-O Program would be moving to Hollywood. Benny simultaneously made Broadway Melody of 1936 and It's In The Air on film. Until the mid-1930s, New York and Chicago were the main broadcasting hubs. Frank Nelson remembered early Hollywood radio. Nelson began working with Benny in June of 1934. Even in 1935, it was still more costly for shows to originate from Southern California. Here's actress Mary Jane Higby, who grew up in Los Angeles, but moved to New York in 1937, explaining why. On November 3rd, 1935 Kenny Baker joined the show as the new singer. That year, Benny's show climbed to second overall in the ratings. The following year Benny made The Big Broadcast of 1937 on film, and on October 4th, 1936 Phil Harris debuted as the new band leader. With Phil Harris in place, Benny's most-famous cast was taking shape.

Bo and the crew talk about the old days of Bo's radio career and Bobby Petrino returning to the Arkansas Razorbacks in the fifth hour of the show live in the BankPlus Studio. Bo talks about doing his show from Hooters in the past and going to the original Hooters. Arkansas insider John Nabors joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about Bobby Petrino returning to Arkansas and KJ Jefferson possibly leaving live in the BankPlus Studio. John talks about the news of QB KJ Jefferson entering the transfer portal and how the Razorback star released something different on his Instagram. John doesn't think KJ will get drafted and transferring will help him get paid in college while competing with another school. John talks about how he is surprised that Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman is getting another season and how he is using Bobby Petrino as a last ditch effort. John says he was in utter shock when hearing the Bobby Petrino news and he is actually excited to have him back. Dave Bartoo of the College Football Matrix joins the show on the Farm Bureau guest line talking about Alabama and their possible future int eh CFP. Dave talks about how it isn't cut and dry that Alabama will be in the playoffs if they beat Georgia. Dave mentions that game control is the biggest metric in picking teams for the playoffs and he thinks Alabama needs Texas to lose. Dave lists the teams that will be in the playoffs with a conference championship win and who will still be out. Dave looks at how things will change next year with the 12 team playoff and how there won't be the same excitement. Bo asks Dave about the SEC Championship game between Alabama and Georgia and who he likes to win. Dave compares the scoring efficiency numbers of the two teams and talks about which unit has the edge. Dave talks about the chances Louisville has of beating Florida State and the implications of an upset in the ACC championship game. Dave talks about how a Louisville win would help Alabama if they beat Georgia and then Texas and the Tide could both get in the CFP.

This coming Thursday, the Portobello Timebank has arranged a talk at Bellfield to mark to 100th anniversary of the public broadcasting in the UK, which took place at the end of last year. They've enlisted the help of Tom Stevenson, a retired professor of Microelectronic Technology at Edinburgh University. His talk - The Story of Early Radio – tells the history of radio from the birth of an idea in the mid-19th century to the creation of the BBC and on to its impact in, for example, the Second World War. Scotland has its place in this story – and its development in its earliest years. David Calder caught up with him to find out more.Entry by ticket from Eventbrite.

From the archives (2008) : Anthony Rudel, author of "Hello, Everybody! The Dawn of American Radio" - a fascinating chronicle of the earliest days of radio, a technology now easily taken for granted - but one which utterly transformed our country's cultural life when it first emerged in the early 20th century.

In the spring of 1935, nineteen year-old Orson Welles was living in New York, appearing on stage in Katharine Cornell's stock company and workin on CBS' American School of the Air and The March of Time. The next year, Welles was on the debut episode of CBS's Columbia Workshop. The program's creator Irving Reiss recognized Orson's talent, while Welles studied the creative risks The Workshop took. He began to assemble his Mercury Theater troupe just as FDR launched the Federal Theater Project. John Houseman invited Welles to be part of an African-American theater unit in Harlem. Their first co-production was an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Welles changed the setting to a mythical island. Voodoo took the place of Scottish witchcraft. The play opened on April 14th, 1936, at the Lafayette Theater in Harlem. It received incredible reviews. By that autumn, Welles was traveling between Chicago and New York, appearing on Mutual Broadcasting's Wonder Show, and on The Columbia Workshop. On Sunday April 11th, 1937 The Workshop broadcast a verse-play written especially for radio by Archibald MacLeish. It was called The Fall of the City. It was an allegory on the rise of fascism. The broadcast took place at the massive Seventh regiment armory on 67th street and Park avenue in New York. Reiss used over one-hundred fifty extras, and entrusted Welles to be the narrator. To get proper sonic differentiation, they built radio's first narration booth. The Fall of The City was selected by The New York Times as one of the outstanding broadcasts of 1937. Time magazine noted that it proved to listeners radio was science's gift to poetry and poetic drama. The Fall of the City made Orson Welles a star. Mutual Broadcasting was about to give him the opportunity of a lifetime.

An audio drama is a dramatized, purely acoustic performance. It is often in the form of radio plays, which are plays that have been adapted for audio. These plays generally feature sound effects, music, and actors. An audio drama shouldn't be confused with an audiobook, which is the reading of a story for the medium of audio. These can, sometimes, include music and sound effects, too. Audio drama, specifically that of the late 1920's and 30's, are what inspired me to create Retrospection Radio. Audio drama is still quite popular today, with some more famous audio drama podcasts including Wolf 359, The Magnus Archives, and Welcome to Night Vale. We, like the other audio dramas I just listed, have gained inspiration from that time period. But audio drama was actually around long before it's rise. Today, we'll be discussing the early history of audio drama, leading to the rise in popularity in the 1920s. Noah is a content creator interested in telling unique and engaging stories.

In the previous episode, I interviewed Prof. Elizabeth “Betsy” Enriquez about her research on the history of colonial radio broadcasting in the Philippines. This episode is a continuation of our dialogue, and this time we talk about what she discovered while researching in the archives in the Philippines and the US. We also reflect on the relationship of archives with colonial history. The previous episode is not a requisite to be able to follow our discussion in this episode, but if you haven't heard it yet, please give it a listen to understand some of the contexts of our conversation.   Elizabeth L. Enriquez is a Professor at the College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines Diliman (UP). She is the author of the book Appropriation of Colonial Broadcasting: A History of Early Radio in the Philippines, 1922-1946 (UP Press 2008) and the monograph with video documentary Radyo: An Essay on Philippine Radio (CCP 2003), both pioneering and still the only extensive works on Philippine broadcast history. Before teaching at the UP, she worked in radio and television for almost 18 years, mostly as a broadcast journalist.  In 2015, she returned to the air by hosting programs on UP's official radio station DZUP.   Sonic Entanglements is hosted and produced by meLê yamomo. Thijs van den Geest is our sound engineer and sound editor, and Jean Barcena is our publicity manager.

This is the June 17 Third Thursday at Hoover's virtual program recording.Radio as we know it today emerged at the dawn of the 20th Century–first popular with amateur operators then becoming commercially viable in the 1920s.Growth was so rapid that some control was necessary to make room on limited spectrum as radio enthusiasts were going “on the air” on any frequency, at any time and with any power.Professor Stephen Coon will discuss this history and also look at how regulatory decisions made by Herbert Hoover and others still affect today's industry including social media.

In this first part of a two-episode interview, I spoke to Elizabeth “Betsy” Enriquez about her pioneering research on the history of the radio media in the Philippines. We listened to extant recordings of music and audio programs created by the front-runners of the Filipino radio broadcasting industry. Betsy talked about the historical context of mass media culture in the US-occupied Philippines between the 1920s and 1940s. And she explained the anti-colonial strategies of the first Filipino radio programmers, hosts, musicians, and performers.   Elizabeth L. Enriquez is a Professor at the College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines Diliman (UP).
