Colleagues,
Published this week is "Radio's Legacy in Popular Culture: The Sounds of British Broadcasting over the Decades" by Bloomsbury Academic.
It's suitable for undergrad and post-grads - especially those who are studying the culture and re-presentation of radio.
And it provides a topical, readable, summary of radio's first 100 years.
Please consider ordering for your university library.
A sample chapter is at: https://bloomsburycp3.codemantra.com/viewer/61c091c75f150300016f10af
It's the only academic monograph to find a link between the BBC's first Director of Drama... and Bob the Builder.
It features 300 case studies from film, pop music, fiction and art. Writers, fans, and creatives include James Joyce, Evelyn Waugh, George Lucas, The Buggles - and, yes, TV stop-motion characters too. Each offers a critique of BBC, commercial, pirate and online radio listening.
The author, Martin Cooper, has spent 20 years in BBC Local Radio and ILR. He is Assistant Subject Leader Emeritus in Journalism & Media at the University of Huddersfield.
