This article examines listeners’ attitudes toward podcast advertising and investigates the effect of host-read advertisements. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, the study builds a layered understanding of host-read ads’ impact on listeners. The mechanism of a host-read ad is integral because it accesses the listeners’ relationships with both the host and the podcast team, shaping their estimation of credibility and providing narrative transport.","PeriodicalId":44611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radio & Audio Media","volume":"30 1","pages":"362 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45900695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MacLennan","doi":"10.1080/19376529.2021.2006443","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19376529.2021.2006443","url":null,"abstract":"Radio and audio media are remarkable for their appeal globally as well as their ability to address many diverse groups, communities, languages, and cultures. The enduring appeal and flexibility of radio and other audio media has sustained it despite competition and change. This issue contains a variety of original research that reflects the ongoing and emerging fields in radio and audio media research. Diversity in playlists, community radio, creating community, representation, digital radio, podcasting, and linguistic communities are all part of this issue. Heikki Hellman and Arto Vilkko’s article, “Is There Diversity on Popular Music Radio? Developing a Methodology for a Quantitative Analysis of Radio Playlists,” “develop[s] indicators that cover four components of musical diversity: origin, ownership, repetition, and epoch of music (Hellman & Vilkko, 2021, p. 193).” This study of the diversity of Finland’s radio playlists proposes relevant variables and indicators that can be applied to the further study of radio, in particular diversity. “Sonic Borderscapes in Richard Curtis’ Film the Boat that Rocked (2009)” by Jopi Nyman examines pirate radio with respect to sonic borders and community (Nyman, 2021). Nyman tackles the concepts of shared national cultural values, borderscapes, belonging, and becoming. The article’s focus on “transgressive programming emanating from beyond the border offers moments of affect and pleasure for the new generation by bringing them together, which leads to the formation of an alternative public space (Nyman, 2021, p. 227)” allows for an investigation of audience identity and alternative culture of dissent. In “Characteristics of the Classic Radio Experience Perceived by Young Listeners and Design Implications for Their Digital Transformation,” Stefan Hirschmeier and Vanessa Beule examine the changes in consumption of radio with the advent of nonlinear radio automated playlists (Hirschmeier & Beule, 2021). This examination of the traditional radio experience as it moves into digital radio is based on interviews with a younger audience. It identifies 5 categories of 37 radio characteristics that frame the experience of radio. “Missing, or Just Missed? Mediating Loss in the Missing Richard Simmons Podcast” by Kelli S.

To explore the effectiveness of these campaigns, we used meta-analysis to examine the results of 20 published studies on the effectiveness of health messages embedded in radio-based EE programs. The results suggest that these messages had small but significant effects in changing health related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. We also found that research methods, health issues, and exposure levels were significant moderators of these effects. These results have both theoretical and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":44611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radio & Audio Media","volume":"30 1","pages":"387 - 407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19376529.2021.1931229","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47780466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research is based on desk research and interviews with the key actors in community radio development in Bhutan, in 2019, supported by the first-hand experience gained during conducting research on Bhutan media system gained by one of the authors during visits in this country in the years 2015–2018. In this article we concentrate on local community radio stations located in rural areas: KYD from Khotakpa, Edi from Dechen Pelri and Lhop Community Radio Station from Lotokuche. We highlight the unique context in which community radio in Bhutan functions – the geographical conditions and mountainous terrain, which cause separation from other surrounding indigenous communities, differences in spoken language and the cultivation of their own cultural identity. The over-arching argument in this paper is that local factors are really important to understanding national media systems and that the national government commitment to GNH helps to explain community radio in Bhutan.","PeriodicalId":44611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radio & Audio Media","volume":"30 1","pages":"227 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/19376529.2021.1920024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49437083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
