Listening In: Radio and the American Imagination, from Amos 'n' Andy and…

I've just finished reading it. The authors proposal, set up at the intro, comes completly forward. It is very well written and articulated. I do hope the expectation expressed by the book end comes to fruition, of a new cycle of renewal for radio. It seems to be heading that way, after all the FCC/Congress just approved (2009/10 me thinks?) low power FM stations. It's also interesting to note the repeating motive of rebellion-integration showcased. This book certainly helped me frame some thoughts better and look at other ideas in a different light.

I just don't grasp so well - and freely admit some personal unwillingness on my part - this question of femine/masculine. I should probably head somewhere and read what is considered gender specific traits on general. ( )
