"Jean
Shepherd of WOR in New York regards radio as a new medium for a new
kind of novel that he writes nightly. The mike is his pen and
paper. His audience and their knowledge of the daily events of the
world provide his characters, his scenes, and moods. It is his
idea that, just as Montaigne was the first to use the page to record
his reactions to the new world of printed books, he is the first to
use radio as an essay and novel form for recording our common
awareness of a totally new world of universal human participation in
all human events, private or collective." |
