Across the world, but particularly in the United States, the 1920s showed a remarkable growth in popular media and entertainment.  The radio, and the programs it featured, quickly became the star of this new popular culture.  Your job, in a group of four or five, is to recreate a radio show from a particular date.  The show should not only be entertaining, but should be informative as well.  Of course, since you are recreating something from the past, you must be careful to be historically accurate and appropriate at all times.
