Today in Radio History- July 20, 1897

Hello America,

Today marks the 114th anniversary of the founding of Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company in England. We here at the Hear Again Radio Project are interested in far more than radio drama. We want to connect with the people and inventors that pioneered the technology that enabled storytellers to bring intimate stories into homes across America and the World.


To read more on Guglielmo Marconi and the invention of the Wireless Telegraph go HERE.

You can also read Erik Larson's great book Thunderstruck about the race to transmit reliable wireless signals across the Atlantic Ocean. You can buy it HERE
