Broadcast of the human voice first took place more than 100 years ago. Other media and fancier appliances have come along in the meantime, and many are pretty cool. However, none has eclipsed radio for practicality, immediacy and overall ability to connect a mass audience with information, ideas and feelings. In spite of this, contemporary radio and radio history are all but ignored by most of the media. Thus, I Still Love Radio . . .

From Pearl Harbor To Elliott Bay: Radio (and other things) on December 7, 1941
I wrote a piece this week for Crosscut.com about how the ramifications of the Pearl Harbor attack (including radio broadcasts) were experienced in Seattle. I'm also scheduled to appear this coming Sunday, December 13 on KOMO Newsradio AM-FM's Beyond the Headlines with Charlie Harger at 5:00 am, 10:00 am and 10:00 pm Pacific, addressing the same topic (I'll post a link to audio of the program sometime next week).
