Radio artist Gregory Whitehead and radio producer, historian, and lecturer Virginia Madsen join WGXC for this special live broadcast. Madsen is the Senior Lecturer in Media at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. She has produced an extensive body of work in radio and sound performance, and is currently writing the first international history of the documentary in radio. Whitehead is the award-winning writer, director and producer of more than one hundred radio plays, essays and acoustic adventures for the BBC, Radio France, Australia’s ABC, NPR and other broadcasters. Whitehead is the co-editor of the influential anthology of writings on the history of radio and audio art, Wireless Imagination: sound radio and the avant-garde, and the author of numerous essays that explore the politics and paradoxes of radiophonic space, as well as the diverse absurdities of the moment.
