    History Café: The Democratizing Power of Radio

    History Café Events
    Gourmondo Café at MOHAI Gourmondo 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle, WA, United States

    The original "social media," radio united Americans in tough times of economic distress and war, and happier times like the dawn of rock music and the rise of professional sports. In Washington, radio was there for countless historic happenings - as well as mundane moments - and broadcaster and historian Feliks Banel has been studying and sharing this distinctive Northwest radio history for 20 years. From the earliest known recordings of local radio, through the unique effects of "War of the Worlds" in the Evergreen State, to chilling wartime bulletins and the years of lively Top 40 and beyond, Feliks will share audio clips and photos to tell stories of radio in Washington.
