After the Break
Television as we knew it is irrevocably changing. Some are gleefully announcing the death of television, others have been less sanguine but insist that television is radically changing underneath our eyes. Several excellent publications have dealt with television's uncertain condition, but few have taken the specific question of what television's transformations mean for the discipline of Television Studies as a starting point. The essays collected in this volume aim to fill this void. Two fundamental questions string the various contributions together. First, is television really in crisis or is the present not so extraordinary when revisiting television's development? Second, should we invent new theoretical concepts or are our old ones still perfectly relevant? To answer such questions the authors in this volume take up diverse case studies, ranging from the academic series Reading Contemporary Television to Flemish Fiction, from nostalgic programming on broadcast television to YouTube, from tell-sell television shows to public television art in the 1980s.

Radio girls
\"The Great War is over, and change is in the air, in this novel that brings to life the exciting days of early British radio...and one woman who finds her voice while working alongside the brilliant women and men of the BBC. London, 1926. American-raised Maisie Musgrave is thrilled to land a job as a secretary at the upstart British Broadcasting Corporation, whose use of radio--still new, strange, and electrifying--is captivating the nation. But the hectic pace, smart young staff, and intimidating bosses only add to Maisie's insecurity. Soon, she is seduced by the work--gaining confidence as she arranges broadcasts by the most famous writers, scientists, and politicians in Britain. She is also caught up in a growing conflict between her two bosses, John Reith, the formidable Director-General of the BBC, and Hilda Matheson, the extraordinary director of the hugely popular Talks programming, who each have very different visions of what radio should be. Under Hilda's tutelage, Maisie discovers her talent, passion, and ambition. But when she unearths a shocking conspiracy, she and Hilda join forces to make their voices heard both on and off the air...and then face the dangerous consequences of telling the truth for a living.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Analysis of Narrative Strategies in Independent Non-Fiction Narrative Podcasts in Ibero-America
This study analyses the narrative strategies employed in 11 independent narrative non-fiction podcasts from seven Ibero-American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico. The research concentrates on identifying the primary narrative trends applied within this genre of audio journalism, focusing on how the role of the narrator and the structure of the story boost credibility and listener engagement. The methodology combines semi-structured interviews with 16 podcast producers and content analysis of 73 episodes to explore how these podcasts shape their narrative approaches. The results reveal that these podcasts use various journalistic subgenres, including interviews, sound chronicles a recognised genre within narrative and radio journalism in Ibero-American, and other more artistic or experimental formats such as radio features, along with narrative structures like episodic, Aristotelian, and counterpoint, allowing for diverse forms of storytelling. In addition, the study underscores the incorporation of sound archives, personal life stories, and other audio techniques to enhance the narrative’s depth and emotional resonance. These elements contribute to producing socially relevant stories that often challenge stereotypes and address underrepresented voices in society. Ultimately, this research highlights the role of independent non-fiction podcasts in the evolution of audio journalism in Ibero-America.

Intimacy in Podcast Journalism: Ethical Challenges and Opportunities in Daily News Podcasts and Documentaries
This research contributes to understanding how podcast intimacy shapes the evolving relationship between journalists and their audiences in the digital age. Intimacy in podcasting refers to creating a close emotional connection between journalist and audience, facilitated by this audio format and the growth of headphone—and earbud—listening. Podcasting allows for a more personal relationship, where journalists not only inform but also share emotions and experiences. However, this “emotional truth” can blur the boundaries between fiction and reality, raising ethical challenges regarding objectivity. Based on 14 semi-structured interviews with journalists producing daily news podcasts and documentaries, we examine how intimacy is constructed and experienced in these types of productions. Using a qualitative approach, we explore the boundaries of intimacy in journalists’ discourse, as well as the challenges it poses and the opportunities it offers for the production of news podcasts.

\Broadcast now published\: An Interview with Caryl Phillips on the Publication of His Radio Plays
[...]A Kind of Home: James Baldwin in Paris (2004; 137-66), A Long Way from Home (2008; 213-61), and Dinner in the Village (2011; 263-99) are biographical dramas addressing the lives of major figures of the African diaspora: respectively, James Baldwin, Marvin Gaye, and Richard Wright together with C. L. R. James. What is interesting to note is that, with such features, The Wasted Tears plainly anticipates some of Phillips's later fictional work also focusing on a single woman raising black children in England, including his first stage play Strange Fruit (1981), his first fiction The Final Passage (1985), as well as the more recent novel The Lost Child (2015; see Rangúin 3-4). Broadcast once a week from London between 1943 and 1958, this literary radio programme, which aired creative contributions by West Indian artists, is widely known to have had \"a significant influence on the development and shape of literature in the Anglophone Caribbean\" (Griffith 3), as Glyne A. Griffith writes in his well-documented volume on how BBC Radio decisively fashioned the field. If the typescripts of Phillips's major audio plays have now been made accessible, the texts of his peers' audio works have remained for the most part unpublished and for this reason have not been critically assessed after they were broadcast.4 While an audio drama by Jamaican-born Nigel D. Moffat entitled Lifetime was released in Best Radio Plays of 1987, other radio plays by such writers as Fred D'Aguiar, Winsome Pinnock, Roy Williams, or Benjamin Zephaniah are difficult to track, either lying in archives or included in poorly distributed publications.5 It is to be hoped that the quality of the radio plays by Phillips that have recently come out will convince scholars of the significance of a genre that has as yet received little attention in the context of contemporary Caribbean literature.
