On this day in 1922 President Warren Harding introduced the first radio to the White House. Radio at the time was the new cutting edge high tech device. I have always loved radio, even more than television. I’ve always loved listening to baseball games, music, talk shows over the radio. Some of my fondest memories growing up were of listening to the radio.

President Harding would be the first president to be heard on the radio on June 14th, 1922 while addressing a crowd at a dedication to a memorial site to Francis Scott Key, the composer of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
