ABSTRACT In this article, I investigate how colonized cultures were presented to “home” radio audiences through sound (music, speech, sound montages) during the inter-war years. The focus is on how a small group of broadcasts containing musical representations of the colonies of Greenland and India afforded the imaginative work and temporary imagined communities to Austrian, Danish, and British radio listeners in relation to the spatiality and otherness of distant peoples and locations. I suggest a typology of four modes of musical representation in broadcasts reaching from the European tradition of musical exoticism to the use of recordings of indigenous music. Biography: Morten Michelsen is a popular music scholar and professor of musicology at Aarhus University. His research interests include popular music and mediation, music radio and sound studies, historical radio studies, questions of taste and music criticism, and popular music historiography. 2013–2018 he led the research project A Century of Radio and Music In Denmark ( www.Ramund.ikk.ku.dk) and contributed to other large research projects concerned with radio. Among his recent publications on sound, music, and radio are three anthologies on music radio, including Tunes for All? (Aarhus University Press, 2018) on Danish music radio and Music Radio: Building Communities, Mediating Genres (Routledge, 2019) on international music radio.

Communication technologies have played a central role in the rise and fall of empires throughout history. Harold Innis’s (1950) pioneering work offers a broad view on the phenomenon, through a comprehensive analysis that extends from stone and papyrus to the printing press. However, when considering the empires of the 20 century, no other communication technology was more influential than broadcasting, which was used to promote and to fight colonialism and different political ideologies. The center stage assumed by radio in the interwar period led European imperial nations to be among the first group of countries to invest in overseas broadcasting, aiming to unite the home countries with those living in the far reaches of the empires. The audio medium was then perceived as a powerful tool for creating “a sense of national heritage and history” (Hilmes, 2002, p. 10) within national borders but also overseas in territories under European domain mostly in Africa, Asia and the West Indies, where a community of white expats were believed to be eagerly expecting to be kept in contact with the home countries. Imperial broadcasting was, from its inception, a problematic operation for many reasons, starting with the stations’ lack of knowledge about those who were actually tuning in to the transmissions. This led the stations to depend on the feedback from listeners living overseas and who, in the Dutch, British and Portuguese cases, wrote to the broadcasters from the early days of the transmissions (Kuitenbrouwer, 2016; Potter, 2021; Ribeiro, 2014). While ceremonial events were prioritized for their potential of creating a sentimental bond among expatriates in the colonies, light entertainment, news and informative talks also made up a significant portion of the programming schedules. One of the characteristics shared by imperial broadcasters until the end of the Second World War was their lack of interest and/or capacity to reach the majority of the colonial population who did not speak European languages. In many territories under European domain, namely in Africa, language fragmentation was the norm, which made it difficult and expensive to reach non-Europeans.

Abstract Una Marson was a pioneering colonial broadcaster from Jamaica who was the first Black woman to work for the BBC. She produced and presented its Overseas Service programs Calling the West Indies and Caribbean Voices. Recently, scholars have revisited her work, but they have not acknowledged her legacy in a way that befits her accomplishments in radio. We find this observation revealing and have traced concrete actions by the BBC to erase her contributions to transborder radio broadcasting. This study considers how race, ethnicity, gender, and colonialism contributed to her obscurity and insights into the burial of her broadcasting legacy.

ABSTRACT This article offers a critical review of Brazil’s Indigenous language broadcasting landscape, from traditional analogue transmission to podcasts and online radio. The study introduces Brazil’s Indigenous linguistic diversity and locates the current vitality of Indigenous languages within Brazil’s constitutional provisions and broadcasting legislation that both support and impede programming in languages other than Portuguese. Following an assessment of media penetration and uptake, and a contrastive review of four Brazilian radio stations that have either substantial Indigenous content or a dedicated focus on Indigenous issues, the article concludes with an assessment of the outlook and challenges for programming in this sector.

ABSTRACT Radio presenting is a rewarding yet challenging undertaking for novice and experienced radio personalities. Self-efficacy, a key determinant of performance, is an under-researched psychological variable that may influence radio presenters’ performance in a highly competitive industry. This study explored the self-efficacy beliefs of radio personalities at a community radio station in central South Africa. Eleven semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted and analyzed by means of directive coding. The findings in this study unpack the factors that impact positively and negatively on self-efficacy beliefs and may help navigate station management toward rendering the necessary support in empowering and retaining these employees.

Abstract Cross-border targeted radio is evident among listeners to South Asian and Christian stations in Vancouver, BC. Canada’s earlier restrictions on religious stations left Vancouver faithful with only U.S.-licensed stations. This study also chronicles the struggle to get Canadian South Asian stations on the air. South Asian programming for Vancouver started on U.S.-licensed stations. When Canadian regulators approved South Asian stations, they also tried to move against the American stations. It will be shown that listeners will find what they want on the radio dial in spite of a station’s location and station operators took advantage of many loopholes.

Abstract This study focuses on freedom of expression among university radio stations in Turkey. Our aim is to reveal the obstacles university radio stations face in speaking freely and to propose a solution to them. We take our conceptual framework from the Habermasian public sphere and focus on the practice of speaking on the radio. Using a qualitative analysis method, we conducted in-depth interviews with the managers of 34 university radio stations in 21 different cities in Turkey. We found that there are many obstacles to freedom of speech facing university radio stations in Turkey.

Abstract True crime podcasts (TCPs) are increasingly saturating the Australian media landscape. The most downloaded podcast in the country is the TCP, Casefile and overall true crime is a popular podcast genre. Despite this, there is limited Australian research exploring the perspectives of TCP listeners. Using data from a survey of 124 university students, this article identifies popular subject matter, listening patterns and stylistic attributes of TCPs. Additionally, listener motivations and perceptions are identified. This paper highlights the importance of critically examining Australian TCPs as contemporary sites of information and pleasure that the public may regard as authoritative resources on crime.
