This is the story of how early radio transformed the sense of home and of nationhood in 1920s and 1930s Britain. The arrival of "wireless" is commonly covered from the broadcasters' point of view, but this book is about its reception by listeners, tracking how they integrated the new medium into their own households, and, through it, became connected in a new sense of nationhood. It will also shed light on how the dynamic digital newcomers of the early 21st Century - downloads and podcasts - are changing society today. Illustrated with archival material, It accompanies an exhibition in 2025
