This issue of JRAM includes a diversity of articles that remind us how deeply radio and audio media reach into various aspects of our culture. The first two papers explore the role of women in radio. Jennifer Proffitt examines how women were involved in promoting democracy and supporting radio's efforts to inform women through the Women's National Radio Committee during World War II. The group gave awards to radio programs that promoted democracy, and they lobbied for certain political and social issues important to women. Erika Engstrom examines radio programs produced by women that feature music by women. These radio producers are passionate about their work, which makes these programs excellent sites for feminist analysis.
