摘要

Radio realized its fullest potential during the 1930s when the nation's future prospects seemed to have evaporated as the consequence of economic collapse. The year the stock market imploded was also the year radio's most popular program-Amos 'n' Andy-debuted. It, and myriad programs like it, was exactly what the beleaguered audience sought to distract it from the grim reality of record unemployment and soup lines. Indeed, while radio's escapist entertainment was a much-valued refuge from the storm, the medium became more than a firewall against the national crisis and turmoil.rnBruce Lenthall's discerning study covers a lot of territory, beginning with the seminal perspectives of public intellectuals, such as William Orton and James Rorty, regarding the impact of early radio on cultural standards, democracy, and human identity and individuality. Lenthall astutely observes that critics of the period "asked many of the right and fundamental questions about the age-even as they proved to be wrong about some of the answers" (p. 52).
