In this paper I intend to describe the history of the first ten years of higher level educational radio programs in Japan. One of the company executives of the Tokyo Broadcasting Station - the first radio station in Japan - believed that one of the roles of broadcasting should be the democratization of knowledge and he tried to develop educational programs of university level for every family. This can be considered as a kind of "University Extension" program. At the same time the radio was expected to form a national consensus through transmitting the will and policy of the government. This trend can be considered to be a form of mass enlightenment or propaganda. My intent is to clarify how history actually developed between these two different trends, focusing on the series program "Radio Home University Courses" from the perspective of the democratic movement of the Twenties and the fascistic leanings of the Thirties.
