- Summary:
- This book's nostalgic pleasures will grab anyone who has ever whiled away the afternoon listening to a baseball game, smuggled a transistor radio under the blankets to listen after hours, or driven cross-country to Top 40 hits. But Listening In is also a wry look at how radio has shaped our views of the world and our place in it. Through this eminently readable work, readers will see radio as both shaper and reflector of our lives.
