y "raised on radio" -- and that's everybody brought up in the thirties, forties, and early fifties -- this is the ultimate book, combining nostalgia, history, judgment, and fun, as it reminds us of just how wonderful (and sometimes just how silly) this vanished medium was. Of course, radio still exists -- but not the radio of <b>The Lone Ranger</b> and <b>One Man's Family</b>, of <b>Our Gal Sunday</b> and <b>Life Can Be Beautiful</b>, of <b>The Goldbergs</b> and <b>Amos 'n' Andy</b>, of <b>Easy Aces</b>, <b>Vic and Sade</b>, and <b>Bob and Ray</b>, of <b>The Shadow</b> and <b>The Green Hornet</b>, of Bing Crosby, Kate Smith, and Baby Snooks, of the great comics, announcers, sound-effects men, sponsors, and tycoons.<br><br>In the late 1920s radio exploded almost overnight into being America's dominant entertainment, just as television would do twenty-five years later.

Hardback. Condición: Good. In the late 1920s radio exploded almost overnight into being America's dominant entertainment, just as television would do twenty-five years later. Gerald Nachman, himself a product of the radio years, takes us back to the heyday of radio, bringing to life the great performers and shows, as well as the not-so-great and not-great-at-all. Nachman analyzes the many genres that radio exploited or invented, from the soap opera to the sitcom to the quiz show, zooming in to study closely key performers like Jack Benny, Bob Hope, and Fred Allen. Raised on Radio is a generous, instructive, and sinfully readable salute to an extraordinary American phenomenon. Nº de ref. del artículo: CIN037540287XG
