‘Broadcasting Democracy’: FDR’s Radio Drama Strategy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first U.S. president to recognize how broadcasting could help further a political agenda. On March 12, 1933, eight days after his inauguration, Roosevelt launched a series of radio-exclusive addresses.

‘Globalizing Chocolate and Tobacco’: The Debate Over Unlikely Medicinal Treatments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s highly unlikely that any doctor today would recommend chocolate as a medicinal treatment or prescribe tobacco as a curative.
