Turn It On

From Jo Tacchi's "Radio Texture: between self and others":

In the radio industry, there has been a long-standing notion of a stereotypical female listener, who invited the male presenter into her home, as 'romantic visitors descending on a bored housewife.'

[...]

Trisha was not 'having an affair' with an individual male presenter, or with the station as a whole. She was 'having an affair' with her self, in relation to a world that can, and does, exist in the soundscape that she was able to create when alone at home.

I, on the other hand, am attempting to 'have an affair' with BBC Radio 4 'as a whole.'
