ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

When Radio Was

Radio was a long time ago when people didn't have TV or phones to communicate with each other. It was like a magic box with buttons that would make noises and voices come out of it. People would listen to it to know what was happening in their town or even around the world. It was a very important way of sharing news and stories. People would gather around the radio and listen carefully to the voices and the sounds. It was like having a special friend who would talk to you and tell you all the cool stuff that was happening. Radio was very exciting and it made people feel like they were part of something big.
