Reviews

The editors brilliantly bring together a range of influential and engaging scholars and practitioners of radio, not just to define and map areas of radio studies such as listening, communities or entertainment, but also to set the agenda for the future investigation of radio and audio cultures. This handbook understands radio not only as (still) an incredibly powerful media, but also as a burgeoning audio culture and field of research. This handbook is compelling and useful and will serve both scholars and practitioners. * Tiziano Bonini, Associate professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication, University of Siena, Italy * This is a superbly wide-ranging collection with a wealth of approaches and methodologies, with a particular emphasis on radio and audio production scholarship. Contributors include new and well-established authorities who explore historical and contemporary radio and sound practices on a scale that is both global and intimate. This collection represents essential reading for scholars and a comprehensive introduction to students new to the field of Radio and Podcast Studies. * Leslie Grace McMurtry, Lecturer in Radio Studies, University of Salford, UK * The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio tours the globe for an important and innovative examination of entertainment, listening, emotions, communities, democracy, radio research, and futures. The contributions from Australia, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom brings life to contemporary research that crosses borders with shared research foci. The inclusive nature of lived experience, archival research, and analysis that ranges from early radio to podcasting will have a significant impact in radio studies for decades to come. Congratulations to all the contributors and the editors, Kathryn McDonald and Hugh Chignell. * Anne F. MacLennan, Associate Professor, York University, Canada * The Handbook’s interdisciplinary thinking and focus on underrepresented contributors and communities should motivate the ongoing broadening of the purview of modernist radio studies … an engagement with hitherto neglected audiences and a focus on improved accessibility to archives can ensure the continuing relevance of a medium that ‘is and always has been […] in flux. * The Modernist Review *
