The first 12 minutes of this podcast are pretty good. I think it captures well the wonder of radio -- magic carpets, signals taversing the Himalayas and all that -- but the presentation is kind of confused. The PRX podcasters keep saying that it was recorded in the 1930s, but then we hear references to the Nuremburg trials and the possibility of sharing the atom bomb. So there is some confusion in the presentation.

Can anyone find the original recording from the 1930s about the wonder of radio, without the references to things that happened in the late 1940s?
Thanks to Rogier for sending this to me.
