Microphones for NBC and Columbia stand in front of a speaker, with a seated audience looking on, a setup that shows how quickly radio became the main route for political speeches to reach ordinary listeners. The gallery files the picture under Herbert Hoover, whose presidency ran from 1929 to 1933, a period when NBC, founded in 1926, and the Columbia network, which became CBS in 1927, were expanding across the country. Radio let a president speak into millions of homes at once, and a scene like this captures the moment when a address in one room was being carried live to listeners far beyond it.
