| Summary: | The article is an attempt to describe contemporary radio features focusing on the theme of travel. We point to different ways of talking about travel in this artistic radio form, through analysis and interpretation, we try to see how, and by which artistic devices, we can talk about worlds near and far, in a medium devoid of images. Our observations are based on listening to dozens of radio features created in recent years. We propose thematic categories for radio features, because the theme of travel is taken by the authors in various ways. In one case, the feature makers focus on the character of the traveler, in another on the journey itself. There are also programs presenting the journey as a kind of escape before war or terror. This diversity also applies to formal solutions. Radio features about travel are characterized by a large variety of stylistic, compositional and aesthetic features. We can also speak about the style of a particular artist, whose talent, sensitivity, ingenuity and aesthetics influence the style of individual programs about travel. |
