On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with radio historian Liz McLeod about how American radio networks covered D-Day, the Allied landings in France of June 6, 1944. More than 25 years ago, McLeod ranked D-Day as the most significant event in old-time radio history for the many broadcasting firsts, the quality of the coverage, and the technical and organizational innovations that made it all possible.
