‘Station B-U-L-L’ and the Day Groesbeck’s Make-Believe Radio Broadcast Sparked a Real Panic

In December 1932, while the Great Depression weighed heavily on everyday life, a bit of homespun entertainment emerged inside Browder & Henderson’s store on the Groesbeck square. There, clerk Joe Thomas Henderson and fellow employees rigged up a playful contraption—a miniature “broadcasting station” in the back of the store that fed into a radio receiver at the front.

A Message to Thomas
