There are a number of excellent radio art works by Swedish radio artist Åke Hodell. "Spirit of Ecstasy, Racing Car Opera" is one that showcases his language play, his compositional use of repetition, and his left wing politics. The piece was commissioned by the Music Department of the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation and was performed as a live broadcast on April 25, 1977. In his twenties, Åke Hodell trained as a fighter pilot in the Swedish air force. In 1941, his plane crashed and he was forced to convalesce for two years, during which time he became an avid anti-militarist. Åke Hodell came from a family of actors and artists and found his way to writing and theater and soon was part of developing a hybrid practice now referred to as text-sound composition. Text-sound composition is a blend of radio play and musique concrete, and in Åke Hodell’s case, includes playful and politically pointed uses of language and sound.

The Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive is an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. It aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM/Shortwave broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or pirate transmission. The archive is a product of Wave Farm's Radio Artist Fellowship.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and the Radio Art Fellowship program.
