Bertolt Brecht 1932

The radio could inarguably be the best apparatus of communication in public life, an enormous system of channels provided it saw itself as not only a sender but also a receiver. This means making the listener not only listen but also speak; not to isolate him but to place him in relation to others.
Bertold Brecht, Der Rundfunk als Kommunikationsapparat, p. 129.
