This piece explores radio’s potential as a space and form for autoethnography. Radio offers the possibility of random encounters and of reaching a wider (and non-academic) audience. Radio isolates and concentrates the expressive qualities of the voice and the associative meanings of sound. Radiophonic space has distinct poetic, political, and relational features that shape the quality of knowledge produced in it. A quantum space, radio is discontinuous and diffracted, much like the boundaries of a self.
