Images of the golden age of wireless and family life before the age
of television have widespread currency. Their dominance raises
fundamental questions about the extent to which people's memories
of early radio and everyday pre-war life are shaped and mediated by
these public histories. For geographical reasons radio has played
an unusually important part in twentieth-century Australian life
and culture. Australian radio must therefore stand as a major
example in the study of the medium. This book, first published in
1988, examines the early history of Australian radio, looking at
the beginnings of radio itself and at the ways in which cultural
tasks were determined for it. This is a detailed analysis of radio
discourse and the construction of audiences, drawing on a range of
theoretical material to examine questions about the production and
dynamics of popular culture, the relationship between politics and
everyday life, and the changes brought about in women's lives.
