Hear It Now

MacArthur Speaks Before Congress

von

Hear It Now is a documentary radio program that brings listeners reports and voices from the news. This installment centers on General Douglas MacArthur speaking before Congress, offering a contemporary account of a major public event.

The program’s documentary approach draws on recorded speeches and news reporting to present events through the words and sounds of the moment. Rather than a fictional drama, it gives listeners a direct encounter with public affairs and the people shaping them.

Its appeal lies in hearing history as radio journalism: a formal address, presented in its original context, becomes the focus of an attentive and immediate listening experience.
