by Salisbury University Students (1994)

1 folder (0.1 linear feet)

In a series of interviews of local Eastern Shore residents in 1994, Salisbury University students and teachers collected folk life material. For this assignment, Karin Kuntz chose to cover the folklore associated with radio broadcasting from the 1930's to present. Her paper contrasts the role played by the radio throughout different time periods. To obtain first-hand insights about this topic, she interviewed a retired couple and asked them to describe what it was like to listen to the radio back in the old days. Video and audio recording enclosed.
