Radio

From the creation of Marconi, to its exploitation by Orson Welles and the war commanders from the second world war to present day. Perhaps the ultimate propaganda machine.

* Radio communications; our publisher’s pet love.

* Radio as entertainment from prim and proper at the BBC to the late great disc jockey, Wolfman Jack. Is George Lucas’s “American Graffiti” the best movie about radio, rock ‘n’ roll and youth rebellion ever?

* Radio in the future. The internet, satellite links, space communications. Will you need an Oxbridge PHD in Astro Physics just to switch on?

* Radio, the recording industry and rebellion. From jazz and blues to punk anthem. I am an anarchist. God please save her majesty to FU to Da Police (NWA).

“Turn the radio down. I can’t concentrate on my knitting”

Sorry Grandma!
