  RADIO USE IN THE CLASSROOM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Radio instruction will be integrated into school life as an accepted educational medium.” (19) In the beginning there was much enthusiasm for the use of radio as an instructional aid, but there were still many problems to be solved.
Radio was a very new idea for the school system so many schools did not have radio receivers and if they did there were not many classroom programs on the air, and the programs that were on the air may not have been relevant to what a teacher wanted to teach his/her class.
Radio might not have been a big hit in the classroom because it was hard to plan your lessons around what times a certain program was coming on and so forth.

 Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television: Listening to Radio: 1920-1950
The book is best when it presents a history of radio listening in the words of the listeners; it's not as good when it slips into a history of the radio programs.
The accounts of when and why the radio audience listened, what their parents thought, who listened with them, and what sets they used, all of which the reader encounters in the book's first section ('How They Listened to the Radio') remind us of what oral history does well.
Barfield and his informants are aware of the limitations of memory as historical evidence but sometimes they can't help trying to remember when particular shows appeared, who starred in them, and what it all meant, especially in the book's second section 'What They Heard' and those endeavors prove less helpful and less interesting.
