Radio Day (Episode 39)
Check out my latest episode!World Radio Day is celebrated every year on February 13 to mark the important role that radio plays in our lives and in society. The day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012, and its history can be traced back to the first International Radio Conference in Geneva in 1974. February 13 was chosen as World Radio Day as it was the day of the establishment of the United Nations Radio in 1946.UNESCO describes the radio as “a powerful medium for celebrating humanity in all its diversity and constituting a platform for democratic discourse.”
