Welcome to the website of Sean Street, poet, broadcaster, writer and teacher. I hope you’ll take time to explore some of the projects I’m involved with, and that you’ll find them of interest.

I’m married to the theatre director and writer, Joanne Street, and my daughters, Jemma and Zoe are working respectively as a media researcher/painter, and music journalist.

I continue to make radio features for BBC Radios 3 and 4, engage in teaching and research in Bournemouth Media School, Bournemouth University, write on radio and literary matters, and from time to time publish my poetry.

That’s the story so far; now read on!

Crossing the Ether:British Public Service Radio and Commercial Competition 1922-1945

Between 1920 and the outbreak of World War ll , radio listening in the UK was a battlefield fought over on one hand by a somewhat paternalistic BBC, and on the other by Europe-based commercial stations, broadcasting populist sponsored English-language programmes. This book explores fully for the first time the importance of the tension between these two in terms of the cultural and technical evolution of sound broadcasting in Britain.

“A wonderfully researched book.” Noah Arceneaux, Jhistory, H.net Review
