The Golden Era



	Radio
			The radio was not only a source of information, it was the entertainment mediem of the golden era. It was the center of attention in most American homes. Most people learned of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and other breaking news via this electronic gadget. Many of the serials and characters that later became famous television shows and movies started as radio shows adapted from books and comics. The same can be said for many actors such as Orson Wells (left). They owe their start to radio too. Even presidents and other heads of state made use of this great form of communication.
