Radio Drama
This is a bit of a mixed bag of a book. There's lots of fascinating material about the history of radio drama, and quite a bit of discussion about the unique capabilities of radio drama as an art form. However, the book has a more academic take than I'd have ideally liked - I'd have preferred slightly less literary theory, and slightly more literary practice. The chapters of the book that do deal with the nitty gritty of writing and producing a radio play have a sketchy, disconnected quality, as if they consist of classroom handouts hastily compiled into book form.
Still, there's much good material in this, and it has a well-annotated bibliography, which I expect to be a good guide to further reading.
