It was World Radio Day this past Saturday. In conjunction with that, we will be discussing the significance of this day, as well as play clips from some of the shows we did in the past, which centres around one of the sub-themes of the World Radio Day 2021 -- highlighting radio’s services to our society—natural disasters, socio-economic crises, epidemics, fighting misinformation, etc.
