Five fun facts about radio as World Radio Day is celebrated

As a kid, I always thought that the people who talked on the radio were actually inside the radio set. It got crazier when I once saw a cockroach crawl out of my grandfather’s double-speaker Sonitec radio. Now I believed that those were the “people” that blasted through those speakers. 

Later, I learnt that there was a studio somewhere that the people spoke through, and then the signal transmitted to the remote areas of Kenya. Even then, I still believed that the musicians/bands/artists would have to avail themselves as the studios to perform physically.
