Today is National Radio Day!

To celebrate, we talked about the history of the radio! Did you know the first person to discover radio waves was a man named Heinrich Hertz in 1886? However, a receiver that took advantage of these radio waves wasn’t made until around 30 years later, made by an Italian man named Gulielmo Marconi. Since the early 1900s, radio has been used for commercial use, entertainment, and even ministry, which is what we’re blessed to do with WNZR!

How can you celebrate National Radio Day? Well, you’ve already done that by listening to WNZR, and reading this blog, so thank you!

It’s also National Bacon-Lovers Day! If you love bacon, celebrate this day by enjoying your favorite meat from the belly of a pig! Whether for by itself for breakfast or found in a juicy cheeseburger, adding bacon is a great way to add an extra level of flavor to your meal!
