Synopsis

Radio Comedy Impact explores the significant yet often overlooked role of radio's golden age in shaping modern comedy. It reveals how limitations in early radio, such as relying solely on sound, spurred remarkable creativity. Did you know that radio forced writers and performers to master timing, voice acting, and sound effects to create vivid comedic narratives? The book argues that radio was not just a precursor to television but a crucial incubator for enduring comedic techniques. The book examines the transition of radio talent to television and the lasting impact of radio humor. It analyzes iconic programs like "The Jack Benny Program," illustrating how these shows developed techniques still relevant today. The book uniquely focuses on the comedic aspects of radio, highlighting the innovations that arose from the medium's constraints. Organized into four parts, it begins with the genesis of radio comedy, moves through the talent migration to TV, analyzes specific programs, and concludes with humor in contemporary radio.

Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument 
 
 
 
Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. 
 
 
 
Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.
