      Just turn the TV on and close your eyes and play make-believe

    I like video like that because it can help me as English learner to listening how pronounciate the words.

      I looked, and it was precisely what I had feared.

    President FDR and his fire side chat was needed. He is the one who pulled America out of the Great Depression.

      It's likely that his programs only made it worse. WWII pulled the country out of the Depression.

      I agree with that. One of the dumbest things we ever did. It's insolvent. Families should take care of their own. I've saved for my own retirement. I don't think unborn children should have to support me in my old age. They should be saving for their own retirement, not supporting mine. It's a Ponzi Sceme.

      a lot of people find it hard to save.

    Alastor in his era..
    Anyways,
    This was mostly their entertainment in that era how times are simple yet meaningful. Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to live in 1930s? I might have a different point of view.

    In many ways Radio is still as popular today as it was when it was initially developed in the 1920's. 80% of all sales today are primarily from AM Radio Broadcasting topping all the sales from other Internet sources. Saturdays especially are filled with programs advertising vitamin and nutritional supplements. And they sell and sell big!

      I disagree. In the 1920’s, radio was a phenomenon and a craze. Today it’s an appliance and irrelevant to most people. I also dispute your 80% figure. What your source for that? (I worked in radio for 50 years btw)

    There were no $ 500. Radios in the 20s and 30s . I know I was born in 1936 , that's a price for a new car in the 20s . This narrator needs learn more before talking about the 1920s &1930s .

      That does seem very pricey. My kolster radio made in 1938 would have cost £10 around £150 today

    You can keep the lack of technology; I just want the "common" currtacy" and Patriotcy that we had!
