Shortwave radio has a long history in our world. The transmission can travel across continents, much farther than FM and AM radio. That ability has made it a powerful tool for governments, extremists, or anyone trying to get their ideas to a faraway audience.
Minneapolis-based journalist Katie Thornton tells the story of shortwave radio in the second season of The Divided Dial. It’s an award-winning series of the WNYC program On the Media. Thorton joined Minnesota Now to talk about the show.
