Series: Bloomsbury Handbooks

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio presents exciting new research on radio and audio, including broadcasting and podcasting. Since the birth of radio studies as a distinct subject in the 1990s, it has matured into a second wave of inquiry and scholarship. As broadcast radio has partly given way to podcasting and as community initiatives have pioneered more diverse and innovative approaches so scholars have embarked on new areas of inquiry.

Divided into seven sections, the Handbook covers:

- Communities

- Entertainment

- Democracy

- Emotions

- Listening

- Studying Radio

- Futures

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio is designed to offer academics, researchers and practitioners an international, comprehensive collection of original essays written by a combination of well-established experts, new scholars and industry practitioners. Each section begins with an introduction by Hugh Chignell and Kathryn McDonald, putting into context each contribution, mapping the discipline and capturing new directions of radio research, while providing an invaluable resource for radio studies.

Reviews for The Bloomsbury Handbook of Radio

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, 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 *
