Imagination in Radio

Radio used to be labelled (also pejoratively) as the “blind medium” or the “theatre for the blind”. The intimate nature of radio as a medium is also an aspect often associated with audio production. Reková explains why the “blindness” is an advantage and addresses specific radio grammar and its methods of inspiring listeners’ imagination. Stories make us happy or sad—they make us feel emotions. Our feelings do not know the difference between fiction and nonfiction, emotions always feel real, even though we know that one story is true and the other one is not. And stories in radio bring listeners to an adventurous journey.
