Radio mirror (Nov 1937-Apr 1938)

RAD 10 MIRROR to have a wide circle of friends, to widen your field of interest, also so that no matter what subject a new acquaintance is interested in you will stand a reasonably good chance of being equipped to converse with him on that subject. "Radio stands ready to help the busy person do this. Perhaps you haven't time to read all of your newspaper every day, plus a good current-events magazine every week, but you surely can find time to listen to two fifteen-minute broadcasts of news and comment. In addition, whenever you have half an hour to spare, there is practically certain to be some excellent educational program on the air —the University of Chicago Round Table Discussion, America's Town Meeting of the Air, the Magic of Speech programs, the March of Time, Dr. Walter Damrosch's music appreciation hours, the American School of the Air— the list is long enough to fit any time of any day in the week.

"But — there's a warning here, too. Don't practice this method of broadening your interests with people who are not already your intimate friends. Remember that the average person is interested only in what concerns him personally, and your first fumbling attempts at re-forming what you have heard will only bore him. A friend, however, is interested in you for your own sake, and will be as interested as you are. "Perhaps you can listen to certain programs, like the March of Time and America's Town Meeting of the Air, together with a few friends, and then talk about what you have heard afterward. If you can get a good argument, so much Those perpetual arguers, Tom Howard and George Shelton, supply the comedy for the NBC Sunday Night Party.
