“Happy Days are Here Again” went the most popular
tune of 1930, but for most Depression-era Americans, the sentiment
amounted to wishful thinking. In 1932, Herbert Hoover was defeated by
Franklin Delano Roosevelt by a landslide. It quickly became apparent
after this runaway victory that FDR embodied and indomitable optimism
and a speaking voice which seemed tailor-made for the medium of radio.
He began delivering regular radio addresses to the nation known as
“fireside chats.” And FDR wasn’t the only thing Americans were
listening to. Now with unemployment at an all-time high, more Americans
than ever were relying upon radio for their evening entertainment. Hard
to believe maybe, but radio performances truly struck a deep chord with
the American public. And all such tunes and talk were most magnificently
enjoyed on radio sets just like Crosley’s Companion. Careful attention
to detail makes this mini, yet magnificent, Cathedral-style radio as
authentic as the 1930’s original.
