"New Deal docudramas provide 'missing link' in history of educational radio," by David Goodman and Joy Elizabeth Harris -- Current "Hayes and Goodman's timely examination of educational broadcasting--and the government interventions that made it possible--holds key lessons for confronting media-related challenges facing us today." -- Victor Pickard, University of Pennsylvania "In their insightful and lively account of the long-neglected history of the Educational Radio Project, David Goodman and Joy Elizabeth Hayes have illuminated one of the major 'missing links' of American radio history, radio's unique role in the nexus of education, and civic culture during a crucial period of upheaval, as well as the innovative cast of characters behind its development." -- Michele Hilmes, Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin-Madison "The rise and demise of the Educational Radio Project has much to teach us today about the challenges facing public media in the United States and how the determined efforts of activists a century ago demanded a public-interest broadcast culture." -- Derek Vaillant, author of Across the Waves: How the United States and France Shaped the International Age of Radio.
