Wolfman Jack, the Martian Invasion, Payola, and Howard Stern are all key phenomena in the cultural history of radio. This course provides an historical perspective on the cultural and social implications of the first broadcasting medium. While the primary objective of this course is to shed light on the history and social concerns of this period through an analysis of radio programs, students also analyze the form and structure of radio entertainment in relation to other media, such as television and film, and spend time learning how to listen to radio, which requires a different sort of attention than our heavily visual culture requires.
