WEDNESDAY IS NATIONAL RADIO DAY!!! That means it’s time to celebrate the invention of the radio and all the news, information, and music discovery that comes with it.

The first commercial radio broadcast happened on August 20, 1920, by a station in Detroit with the call sign 8MK, and the medium is still going strong. Today, let’s create a whole playlist that celebrates the radio!
