Long before the network era, radio writers and programmers developed methods and performance styles that were grounded in emerging audio technologies. Making Radio reveals radio as the missing link in the history of modern sound culture.

Recenzje

This compelling new study by Shawn VanCour adds substantially to our understanding of how radio came to sound the way it did, detailing how sound engineers, studio managers, technicians, and performers negotiated technological, regulatory, and taste cultures to produce what listeners across media now recognize as modern, professionalized, and commercial sound.
