Beckett and the Third Programme
This article aims to demonstrate how Samuel Beckett’s work for radio was produced within a very particular context: as part of the cultural experiment in radio broadcasting undertaken by the Third Programme, and how there were concerted efforts on the part of the BBC Drama Department to encourage Beckett to write for them, resulting in work he wrote specifically for the radio medium between 1956 and 1962. It will also explore responses to Beckett radio work recorded by Audience Research Reports, discussing them in relation to the processes of listening in relation to mass and minority broadcasting.

Abstract
This article aims to demonstrate how Samuel Beckett’s work for radio was produced within a very particular context: as part of the cultural experiment in radio broadcasting undertaken by the Third Programme, and how there were concerted efforts on the part of the BBC Drama Department to encourage Beckett to write for them, resulting in work he wrote specifically for the radio medium between 1956 and 1962. It will also explore responses to Beckett radio work recorded by Audience Research Reports, discussing them in relation to the processes of listening in relation to mass and minority broadcasting.
