Radio Collecting Clubs Welcome to the Collectors Show Guide To Radio Collecting Clubs. All of the information contained in this short guide was taken directly from the respective collector club web sites. It is as accurate as those sites represent. Should you find the information in error or lacking in some other way, please let me know. I will be happy to share it with the club and update the information here. Collecting radios is a more popular than I knew and more important to history and culture than I previously thought. Radio was the first electronic means of communication. Whether for two way communication or broadcast, radio made the world smaller. With radio it was possible for more people than ever to hear from their leaders, learn about world events, or hear great music than ever before. The advent of radio and broadcasting allowed people to listen in on the world with more immediacy than print or even motion pictures could deliver. To hear my interview with Michael Jack, who is an accomplished transistor radio collector, go to Web Talk Radio (www.webtalkradio.net), iTunes or other sites listed on the web where podcasts can be found.
