Description: "Sounds in the Dark chronicles the history and development of nighttime radio in the United States from its inception in the 1920s through to its present all-night format. Michael Keith examines and analyzes the attraction and popularization of nighttime radio in relationship to social, cultural, and industrial influences.".
