Because music was such an important part of society during 1905"s and later on, it provided the foundation for broadcasting for the future. Later, radio was a way to distribute a form of entertainment for a large audience. Before radio people resorted to going to theatres to see operas, concerts and plays. Later on radio will prove to be the turning point for musical appreciation throughout the country. .

             On March 2, 1930, the article in the New York Times titled "When Noted Men Enter The Studio," illustrates how radio shaped politics in our culture. The article states that prominent government officials, who never tremble while speaking before large audiences, are often times shy and hesitant when they approach radio"s microphone. For instance, Senator Borah is known as an inspirational speaker, however he dislikes the microphone. He detests speaking at a piece of metal. He understands the importance of radio but he yearns for a live audience. In addition, Secretary Mellon is shy as well, both before the microphone and in the public but once he initiates his speech he speaks better on the radio. On the other hand, Secretary James Davis of the department of labor, pulls the microphone over to him and speaks as if his heart is in the job. On one occasion he sang. It was the first time in history that a cabinet officer ever burst forth into song over the radio. The response by listeners was overwhelming. It is evident that the political speakers who could adapt to the radio broadcasting were more favorable then ones who could not. This technology has shaped the way people thought of politicians. The radio provided the most effective means of distributing a speech to large numbers of people. If a politician were not able to get their ideas and thoughts across the radio waves accurately then this would affect their political career in a negative way. Society began to expect political figures to use radio as a means to get their message across.
