This article examines the literary features of the Catholic radio broadcaster KRO between1928 and 1940. The KRO's literary program is considered to be a remarkable case inDutch broadcasting history ,for it included both an official feature on literature and a so-called'women's hour’, that frequently aired lectures on novels and poetry as well.
