Abstract
It is ten years since this journal published ‘Ten Years of Radio Studies: The Very Idea!’, a reflection on a decade of work since the launch of the Radio Studies Network (Lacey, 2008). To caricature the main thesis, I argued against the idea of ‘radio studies’ on the grounds that there is no such thing as radio, and that setting up a new intellectual enclave would continue to isolate, distort and marginalise our work pragmatically, intellectually and philosophically. This essay is a response to the editors’ invitation – and challenge - to revisit that argument another ten years on.
