Today it is difficult to imagine that radio once not only competed for the public's attention with cinema and television, but was much more popular than the visual media we are accustomed to. In the first half of the 20th century, radio broadcasting not only transmitted music, entertainment programs and news, but also became a meeting place for many experimental practices that blurred the boundaries between popular and elite art. Jeff Porter's book is dedicated to the most interesting pages in the history of radiophony in late modernism. Drawing on philosophy, critical theory and sound studies, the author analyzes in detail the boundaries of the acoustic and literary imagination - serial comedies and soap operas, theatrical productions of classics, experimental plays by modernists and even sound art practices. Among the heroes of his book are Orson Welles, Samuel Beckett, Dylan Thomas, Glenn Gould and many other figures who saw in radio not just a new means of transmitting information, but a space for a fundamentally new form of art.
