Points on a Curve: Radio in Its Own Time and Place

Alan Hall focuses on radio's capacity to evoke a sense of place that exists uniquely in a non-visual, linear dimension.

"As well as allowing for the natural unfolding of events in real time -– the real time of a broadcast –- radio can also walk in step with the pace of the listeners' imagination as events progress, narratively or more erratically. This can induce profound 'impressionistic' experiences in the ambiguous play between the moment and the location, fact and feeling."
