Radio On: A Listener's Diary by Sarah Vowell

3.0

So I picked up this book in an attempt to get pumped up for producing this radio show this month... and because Sarah Vowell's segments on This American Life are almost always my favorites. This book hit on a couple interesting notes but never followed the train of one thought long enough to see where it was going, or better yet, how it changed over the course of a year and was influenced by the project. I'm not sure what a non-radio dork would get out of it. I found the diary format refreshingly simple, if a little gimmicky, but again was frustrated that there seemed to be no real growth in understanding the medium over the duration of the book.
