Listening in Good Faith
This article interrogates the privileging of intimacy in contemporary discussions of media in general and audio journalism in particular (within a broadly Anglo-American frame). It posits that the prominence of the term in relation to podcasting specifically, together with the communicative practices it purports to describe, has become ideological. The article begins by exploring how the intimate address of radio and podcasting has been variously…
Communication in the Radio Century
Radio figures in this chapter as a liquid medium, forever adapting and shifting form, occupying public spaces, inhabiting individual minds, negotiating, and renegotiating the modern variability of time and space. As the quintessential pioneer of modern communications, with a century’s experience of experimentation and renewal, and as an audio medium that puts into relief many of the dominant currents of visual and digital media culture, this chap…
Everybody’s Scrapbook
Responding to the wave of retrospection around the BBC's centenary, this article explores the BBC radio Scrapbook series to reflect on the mediation and mediatization of anniversaries from the earliest days of the radio century to the present.The Scrapbooks were both experimental and popular with audiences, deploying innovative audio montage to listen back to a particular year in history.The history of this sometime staple of the schedules illumi…
Up in the air? The matter of radio studies
This article is based on the keynote lecture presented to the Radio Conference 2018, and offers a review of the field of radio studies in the decade since the publication in this journal of ‘Ten years of radio studies: The very idea!’. While still wary of the limitations of ‘the very idea’ of radio studies and indeed of ‘radio’ itself, this article finds research in the field to be international, interdisciplinary and intermedial, and well placed…
Radio’s Vernacular Modernism
This article explores the modernism of pre-war radio in terms of the framing device of the schedule, rather than exceptional texts or ‘features’. It suggests the flow of broadcasting could be experienced as a montage of remediations that invited reflexive engagement with the conditions and contradictions of modernity. The schedule thus appears not only as a site for the mediation of modern experience and a new sensorium, but as a modernist text i…

Feminine Frequencies
Towards a periodization of listening
Taking its cue from literature on visual culture this article addresses the possibility of a plurality of listening positions or, more precisely, the possibility of periodizing competing or co-existent ‘auditory regimes’. It therefore contributes to what Douglas has recently described as an ‘archaeology of listening’. By the 1920s film was being theorized as a new sense organ presenting a distracted, modern (and potentially progressive) way of se…
