'WEVD was an American brokered programming radio station with some news-talk launched in August 1927 by the Socialist Party of America. Making use of the initials of recently deceased party leader Eugene Victor Debs in its call sign, the station operated from Woodhaven in the New York City borough of Queens. The station was purchased with a $250,000 radio fund raised by the Socialist Party in its largest fundraising effort of the 1920s and was intended to spread progressive ideas to a mass audience. A number of national trade unions and other institutions aided the Socialists in obtaining the station."

When I was a teenager, listening to AM radio was something done by the elderly. Favorite radio stations were dialogue radio (called talk radio in California). However, there was one non-Spanish foreign language station that stood out to me among the rest. WEVD. It had European languages such as Polish, German, and Yiddish. I often wondered what the station must have been like with Jewish and Polish or German announcers in the same work station. It would have been like cats and dogs. Of course, the Jewish programs were probably off the air on Friday nights and Saturdays, so no one had to worry about such potential horrors.

I listened to the music. Most of the time I had no idea what I was listening to. it was just a matter of hearing the sounds and being
able to duplicate them.

These days there is nothing comparable to that. One can find Internet radio stations from just about every country that transmits sounds.

I was going somewhere with this, but it's too late to continue, so I will pick up on it at a later time/date.
