Two Dollar Radio started as an independent publishing house based in Columbus, Ohio, also known as The Two Dollar Radio Movement. The company was founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Eric Obenauf and Eliza Jane Wood, with Brian Obenauf. The press specializes in literary fiction. In 2013 they launched their micro-budget film division, Two Dollar Radio "Moving Pictures."
In 2008, the publishers were profiled as part of Publishers Weekly’s 50 Under 40 series, which focuses on 50 young individuals involved in publishing to be aware of.
The Brooklyn Rail credits the press with publishing "some of the finest work of contemporary fiction," while Publishing Perspectives called them "a budding literary movement." Popular literature website HTML Giant calls Two Dollar Radio "the hippest, most adventuresome publisher in the United States."
The press occasionally works with outside artists on jacket designs. Esteemed NYC artist Barbara Kruger designed the cover to Gary Indiana’s seventh novel, The Shanghai Gesture, published in April 2009. Photographer Lynn Davis provided the cover photographs for her husband Rudolph Wurlitzer’s four novels that the press has published. San Francisco-based collage artist, Aubrey Rhodes designed the jacket for Joshua Mohr’s second novel, Termite Parade, published in July 2010. Two works of art by Mat Brinkman were used in The Orange Eats Creeps — one on the cover and one as a frontispiece. Two works of art by Michael Salerno of Kiddiepunk were used in Mira Corpora, on the front and back covers, as well as frontispiece and end piece. Ricardo Cavolo's ink-on-paper piece, 1937, is featured on the cover of How to Get Into the Twin Palms.
Two Dollar Radio is distributed in the US and Canada by Consortium Books Sales and Distribution, and internationally by Turnaround Publisher Services.
