In the first tweet, Eric LoPresti writes, ''Just talked to my 94 year old grandfather - he recalled that Chicago canceled schools when he was in 8th grade for weeks because of an outbreak of infantile paralysis (polio) and classes were on the radio - the newspaper published when each class would be on for each grade. According to this book, that was the start of @WBEZ which to this day makes programs which education me (this American Life), and make me laugh - @petersagal.'' The post denotes that WBEZ is a radio station.
