Three of my favorite activities, swimming, biking, and hiking were very popular during the Depression. Camping, another former favorite, was also popular. The board game “Monopoly” was introduced during the Depression, and was immediately popular. As they cost little or nothing, they became popular among people who became unemployed. Radio was more popular than records, and radio sounded more like the TV shows that came later. Some radio programs became TV programs.
