“…This is not to say, however, that there were no female voices involved in radio since its birth. The presence of women in radio developed in lockstep with their increased presence in the public sphere, as they gained greater visibility and made themselves heard on the airwaves during the twentieth century (Skoog, and Badenoch, 2020). Approaching the matter from a situated position, and being aware that the knowledge put forth is partial and conditioned by our specific point of view (Haraway, 1991), we proceed to offer a brief overview of the presence of women in radio in several Western countries.…”

Introduction and Objectives. This article explores the interaction between voice and gender relations in the context of radio broadcasting education. The research speaks to the gender inequalities that are increasingly being questioned, especially by younger generations. Methodology. We have employed Critical Discourse Analysis in a corpus of twenty texts elaborated by the students of Radio National de España’s Master’s Degree. They were asked to write a reflection on their personal experiences with voice, drawing connections to their gender identities. Results and Conclusions. The results show a previous knowledge and acceptance of gender theories, their relationship with radio dogmas, and their resistance and creativity in the face of voice normalization.

“…We concluded that this women's listening habits research in Malaysia is scanty. However, women are dominant radio listeners globally as discovered by Statista (2019), Skoog & Badenoch , (2020) and Ibrahim, Sulaiman, & Kamu (2021). It is helpful to stress that women's lives are highly complex and that not many studies focus on women and radio, specifically in Malaysia.…”

In the context of radio, the gist of development communication is how the radio is used to aid social development. Although there are studies on radio listenership, research on women's listening habits in Malaysia is inadequate, although women are dominant radio listeners globally. This study examines factors that motivate women's listening to the radio, mainly in Semporna, Sabah. The central question is how radio has become significant among women in Semporna? This research employs a quantitative research approach. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from 294 female respondents. A chi-square test, factor analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction were used to analyse the data. The findings of the chi-square test analysis revealed a significant link between radio listening and possessing a radio set at home (X2 = 33.871, df = 1, p 0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test with Bonferroni correction was conducted to see whether the agreement score in listening to the radio for entertainment and peace of mind is different according to four factors: age, marital status, level of education and occupation. Thus, radio is no longer the primary medium to get information, except for undocumented people.

Radio listening has been intimately entwined with women's lives since its invention in the 1920s. The emerging field of radio studies has encompassed research about female radio pioneers and the historical importance of radio made by women, providing a critique of the gender blindness of radio history writing. There is now a body of feminist radio history work and related women's radio archives which demonstrate how women have been “rewritten” back into radio history. The relationship between women and radio spans research and practices concerning the nature of women's radio and feminist radio and the agency of women as program makers and managers. A reoccurring theme is the persistence of inequalities and limiting gendered roles in different parts of the radio industry worldwide and the opportunities afforded by newer forms of sound production and distribution such as community broadcasting and podcasting. Research about women's radio production has been instrumental in reconfiguring modern media spaces of identity and agency. Women have used diverse approaches within feminist and community radio to be agents of resistance against traditional representations of themselves in radio and have made forceful inroads into gender equality. Women are active as program makers in different program genres and women's radio stations, programs, and services have been set up in most regions of the world in the latter half of the 20th century. New sound platforms such as podcasting and online archives have amplified the voices and ultimately the reach of women's radio, creative audio/radio production and women's radio activism.
