It's World Radio Day today, celebrating its invention and how it's changed over the decades. Here's some examples from one of the first 1930's to earbuds and windup radios.
As we go thru the decades in pictures,we have to find Jive Bunny who is hiding in one of them. #XPSHQ https://t.co/3AXQzTHQ6K

It's World Radio Day today! Yours truly played a small (but crucial, of course) part in getting UNESCO to establish it. Radio still rules, dear listeners. #WorldRadioDay https://t.co/sx3wr8h718
Happy World Radio Day. I’ve worked at some great stations, with even better people, many of who are true friends. The best medium around. #WorldRadioDay (It’s also 6 months ago today that I did my last radio day at the BBC to help my mental health. A coincidental-but-happy day♥️) https://t.co/7ThOoOVIIc
As today is World Radio Day I thought I'd share this article about Bruce Bairnsfather's appearances on America's NBC radio network in the 1930's.
