Radios

I found the lecture on radio very interesting. What I found most interesting was how soap operas originated on radio. Today, when most people think of soap operas, they think of really overly dramatic shows on TV. I found is so cool that they actually started on radio and why they're called soap operas was really interesting to me too. Soap operas are called soap operas because they were radio dramas that were mainly sponsored by soap companies. The original target was to housewives. I think this further proves a point that I previously talked about in a response to someone else's blog about how from its golden age to now, our perceptions of what radio was then and is now have changed dramatically as well as all of the things that have come as a result of radio.
