- The_Radio_Reader abstract "The Radio Reader is a daily half-hour radio program heard on 100 public radio stations in the United States. It has been hosted and produced by Dick Estell since 1964 and claims an audience of 1.5 million listeners. Since Estell's retirement from Michigan State University in 1986, the show has been recorded and produced in his home studio in Haslett, Michigan, near East Lansing. The program actually dates back to 1934 and was initially called The Radio Reading Circle at WKAR, Michigan State's public radio station. Broadcasts were 15 minutes and had no regular reader. Robert Coleman became the first regular reader and changed the name to its current one. Larry Frymire became the regular reader in 1944, and continued until he retired and was succeeded by Estell. Until the Estell era, it was heard only in Michigan markets and read an array of books ranging from classics such as Pride and Prejudice to modern works.Estell only reads recently released books, often selecting best-sellers. The shows begin with a minimal introduction and brief summary of the book so far and the previous day's reading, transitioning into the direct reading of a portion of the book. As of May 2006, he had read over 500 books over the air. About 12 books are read each year.The show was first recorded on an Ampex 601, a practice that continued into the 1980s. The recordings were mailed by WKAR in Michigan to other stations for broadcast. In 1979 NPR stations became connected by satellite, and the show began to be distributed that way. Until the mid-1990s the show was recorded onto reel-to-reel tape, but as that became obsolete the switch was made to Digital Audio Tape and then Mini-Discs.In 2006 the recordings began to be distributed by FTP and e-mail and via streaming over the internet by certain radio stations.".
