companies sought to discover what kinds of records would appeal to
consumers, they turned to performance forms already familiar to
contemporary audiences—sales pitches, oratory, sermons, and stories. In <em style="box-sizing:border-box">A Most Valuable Medium</em>,
Richard Bauman explores the practical problems that producers and
performers confronted when adapting familiar oral genres to this
innovative medium of sound recording. He also examines how audiences
responded to these modified and commoditized presentations.</p>
