★★★★ · How radio is good (insert clip here) · Spuzz · 2017-07-13
Quite an ironic little picture of showing radio's progress by showing every news clip imaginable. Everything, from President Hoover winning the election to Hindenburg ("Oh the humanity!" explosion! We do also, get a nice overview of what the radio can be used for, eg weather forecasts, traffic forecasts and announcing sales (sale on beef shanks!). Quite a simple (and obvious) film, but one which can be enjoyed on it's merits. Reccomended!
