Do you remember the last time you used a phone booth? 

Do you remember the last time you even saw a phone booth? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? 

It’s safe to say the phone booth is on its way out. 

WPR's "BETA" decided to talk to Ariana Kelly about her book, "Phone Booth." The book is an entertaining and enlightening exploration of the cultural history of the phone booth and a lament for the loss of these spaces.
