Have you ever wondered how public broadcasting in America even happened? In his book "Shadow of the New Deal - the Victory of Public Broadcasting" Josh Shepperd excavates the history of public broadcasting as we travel back a century to the early days of radio. It was crude. It was primitive. Frankly, most of the "educational" broadcasting of a century ago wasn't very good. Somehow, it survived, eventually it flourished, and ultimately it became the public broadcasting that we know today.
The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, Wright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
