Summary:
From Archibald MacLeish to David Sedaris,
radio
storytelling
has long borrowed from the world of literature, yet the narrative
radio
work of well-known writers and others is a story that has not been told before. And when the literary aspects of specific programs such as The War of the Worlds or Sorry, Wrong Number were considered, scrutiny was superficial.In Lost Sound, Jeff Porter examines the vital interplay between acoustic techniques and modernist practices in the growth of
radio
. Concentrating on the 1930s through the 1970s, but also speaking to the rising popularity of today's narrative broadcasts such as This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, and The Organicist, Porter's close readings of key

radio
challenged the conventional distinctions between highbrow and lowbrow cultural content to produce a dynamic popular culture. Jeff Porter teaches English at the University of Iowa.
