16 November, 2022 - The Music, Audio, Radio and Sound Working Group sponsored a webinar celebrating the publication of The Routledge Companion to Radio and Podcast Studies.

Edited by Carlos F. Del Valle Rojas and Francisco Sierra Caballero, this is the 18th title in the Palgrave/IAMCR book series Global Transformations in Media and Communication Research. The book explores how communication confronts power, property and the market in Latin American cultures.
