standing Radio, Andrew Crisell re-addresses the characteristics of this fascinating and paradoxical medium. He explores how radio processes such genres as news, drama and comedy in highly distinctive ways, and how the listener's use of the medium has important implications for audience studies. In addition, Andrew Crisell's revised historical account of radio brings the reader right up to date, and includes a brand new chapter on talk-and-music radio - the format adopted by so many of the new stations - in which he explains why the sound medium, even more than television, has played such a crucial role in the development of modern popular culture.
