Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This article uses the example of the radio �quiz show' Vox Pop (1932-1947) to illustrate the instability of various genre definitions and points to the flux of generic form and generic terminology. Starting out as a show focused on the �man on the street,' Vox Pop, according to its creator Parks Johnson, consecutively developed into a quiz show, an interview show, and a talk show. While quiz shows do relate to "everyday genres" (Bakhtin, 1981) such as parlor games and interviews, they are not clearly defined through established industry practices or audience expectations. The case of early radio quiz shows in the 1930s suggests that genre might be better theorized as a system of fundamental hybridity and arbitrariness. As Derrida (1992) points out, genres as classificatory systems are ever present, but tend to be invoked in a contradictory manner in everyday practice. The instability of genre definitions in early broadcasting therefore does not just speak to a general sense of confusion in the industry, but to the multiple generic affiliations of any given program.
