Indiana School of the Sky
The Atom Yields Power
par
Indiana School of the Sky is an educational radio program presented in a school-broadcast setting. This recording is identified as “The Atom Yields Power,” a title pointing to the program’s subject: the use of atomic energy.
The episode offers a radio lesson rather than a dramatic story. Its title suggests an explanatory treatment of how atomic power can be harnessed, making it suited to listeners interested in science and the public understanding of a major new technology.
The appeal is in hearing a historical educational broadcast address atomic energy as a subject for learning. It provides a glimpse of how radio brought classroom-style instruction to listeners beyond the schoolroom.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
