I'm an Oil Tanker

by Fi Glover

Fi Glover is a bit of a traveller. She is also more than a little obsessive about the radio. In January 2000 she set off on a journey which took her around the world, via many radio stations and some very strange communities. From Somerset Sounds to Howard Stern City, Miami to Monserrat, it is a wonderfully funny and strangely moving quest to find the perfect radio station.

Bought I on a Bill Bryson kick years ago, three times Ive tried to read it and got bored. Perhaps it’s because I’m not a radio listener or perhaps it is dated but this one can go now.

Not quite as geographically wide-ranging as I'd hoped; U.S. radio takes up quite a bit of the space. Still, the author does a good job varying the programming covered during her travels.
