Podcast #138 – Radio History on Display at the San Francisco Airport

Listen Later

We visit the “On The Radio” exhibit on radio history at the San Francisco Airport Museum, where travelers can feast their eyes on 27 cases full of historical items related to radio’s past, ranging from 1920s crystal radios to 1970s novelty radios. Jennifer chats with exhibit curator Daniel Calderon and California Historical Radio Society President Steve Kushman about the exhibit. And Paul brings us an update on where unlicensed radio, aka Pirates, stand under Trump’s FCC.
