Summary/Abstract: The yeti is not a cupboard. If it were a cabinet, we would call it a cabinet, nota yeti. Many of you will remember the classic scene in which Uncle Pista Besenyő tries to convince his audience of his point of view with this irrefutable logic. But beyond this pearl of absurdist humour, it is perhaps worth asking: in the age of new media, is radio still radio at all? What is behind what most of us still know as radio in 2019 and which has been part of our everyday lives for over a century?What is the secret of radio? What makes this centuries-old medium still popular, inescapable, and much used in the age of hypermedia?
