Everyone talks about television as if it had been the first medium that brought the country together. On one television history forum, a guy asked what people did in the early 1950s if there wasn't a television station in their town -- did they put up gigantic antennas hoping to catch a snowy glimpse of a distant television station? No, silly. They kept on listening to the radio like they had for decades. Many shows like "You Bet Your Life" were simulcast on radio had more listeners than viewers. Radio _was_ the medium that brought the country together. Television was just an enhancement of radio.

I wonder if any of that equipment is still in existence?

There's got to be something in a museum somewhere.

I enioy your vids but it would be really really neat if you could find snippets of any recordings for these 1920s events. You do a good job but I could just listen to an audible recording, why not spice it up by adding in some actual recordings from the decade?

Unfortunately, there are very, very few recorded radio broadcasts from the 1920s (almost all of them experimental) and almost all of them come from the last few years from the decade. The oldest one is from 1924, so there's nothing from 1923 to go with this video.
