"Radio is an alteration of space and a structuring of time. It extends space if you're making music, shrinks itif you're listening. It both joins people together and reaches them where they are lonely... We listen to radio... to keep from being depressed or isolated, to feel connected to something, to enfold ourselves in its envelope of pleasure, information, power: while the absence of any spontaneous or innovative event, or of any specific (vs. abstract) intimacy, contributes precisely to depression, which after all is merely a sidewise description of powerlessness..."
Jody Berland, "Contradicting Media: Toward a Political Phenomonology of Listening."

A recent web site listing many things about radio. My link here is to their Theme Index page, which is a links list searchable by category. Looks good, still in the development stage.
