Have you heard On the Media’s Peabody-winning series The Divided Dial?  It’s awesome and you should, and now you will. In this episode they tell the story of shortwave radio: the way-less-listened to but way-farther-reaching cousin of AM and FM radio. The medium was once heralded as a utopian, international, and instantaneous mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet. But, like the internet, many people quickly saw the power of this new technology and found ways to harness it. State leaders turned it into a propaganda machine, weaponizing the airwaves to try and shape politics around the world. And as shortwave continued to evolve, like the internet, it became fragmented, easily accessible, and right-wing extremists, conspiracy theorists and cult leaders found homes on the different shortwave frequencies. And even today - again, like the internet - people with money are looking to buy up this mass-communication tool in the hopes of … making more money. This is episode one from the second season of <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/divided-dial">The Divided Dial</a> a limited series from <a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm">On The Media</a>.  <ul><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Wqu3VZsJkCvdaeGthpyta?si=vQsUdPLlTwiCF6jcjKQ1_A">Listen on Spotify</a> (<a href="https://zpr.io/hKCcFEGTLb5a">https://zpr.io/hKCcFEGTLb5a</a>)</li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s2-the-divided-dial-episode-1-fishing-in-the-night/id73330715?i=1000706636546">Listen on Apple Podcasts</a> (<a href="https://zpr.io/tQ86YmEmiivR" target="_blank">https://zpr.io/tQ86YmEmiivR</a>)</li><li>Listen on the WNYC App (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id470219771?pt=407475&ct=wnyc_mobile_page&mt=8">iTunes</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wnyc.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dwnyc%26utm_medium%3Dwnyc_mobile_page%26utm_campaign%3Dwebsite">Android</a>)</li><li>Listen to the full <a href="https://www.onthemedia.org/dial">Divided Dial series</a> (<a href="https://www.onthemedia.org/dial">https://www.onthemedia.org/dial</a>)</li><li>Follow On The Media on Instagram @onthemedia</li></ul> The Divided Dial was supported in part by a grant from the Fund for Investigative Journalism. On the Media is supported by listeners like you.
