This week join Andrew and Jonathan as they discuss the beginnings of NBC and the pivotal role radio played in establishing the network paradigm. Do you know your Marconi's from your Sarnoffs? What does "red" and "blue" have to do with it? And most importantly, how does a fruit millionaire play a role? Join us as we explore the origins of the National Broadcasting Company during the turbulent radio times of the 1920s.

Then be sure to stop back two weeks from now on Thursday November 5th, 2015 to listen to our next full length episode. You can leave a comment on this page and can always reach us via email at: feedback@tvhistorypod.com
