Product Description
Stefan Collini, Guardian Review, September 22, 2007
'Filled with riveting detail and anecdote, constantly illuminating ... endlessly engrossing.'
Review
...meticulously documented... a magnificent chronicle. (Laurie Taylor, THES )
An unalloyed treat... If Radio 4 is a great four-funnelled liner, radiating serene intelligence and self-control, this is the ship's secret logbook. Life on Air is a gem. (Libby Purves, The Times )
Filled with riveting detail and anecdote, constantly illuminating ... endlessly engrossing. (Stefan Collini, Guardian Review )
Hendy has explored those relating to Radio 4 in its first two decades very thoroughly indeed. (Stefan Collini, Guardian Review )

Hendy charts in masterly detail the improbable evolution of a network. (John Tusa, Times Literary Supplement )
Hendy examines a many-faceted national treasure with the cool eye of a jeweller and the ardour of a proper fan. (Libby Purves, The Tablet )
Revelatory. (Advance praise from Ned Sherrin, broadcaster )
Eminently readable, utterly reliable, on occasions painfully frank, it is a joy to read. (Advance praise from Gillian Reynolds, Radio Critic of the Daily Telegraph )
A tremendous read: impeccable research used with wit and insight about a national treasure. (Advance praise from Jean Seaton, Official Historian of the BBC )
This is the reverse of sexed up. (Valerie Grove, Literary Review )
[An] academically rigorous, but eminently readable book that rightly sub-titles itself A History of Radio 4 (Jenni Murray, Daily Mail )
engrossing and highly entertaining reading...this is a rich book about a rich subject (Camden New Journal )
[A] fine, meticulous history (Financial Times )
There is a nugget of surprising and entertaining fact on every page. (Lisa Mullen, Time Out )
