Book Reviews of Raised on Radio

Book Review: A Humorous Romp Thru Radio's Past
Summary: 5 Stars

I refer to Jerry's book many times in my weekly column, Radio Somewhere, in the Asbury Park Press. Jerry has managed to capture all the reasons we loved these radio shows in a highly readable format, taking us through the medium's various stages of maturity. He brings the characters, who we either loved or have heard so much about, to life with all the quirks, escapades, talents and foibles that their actors' possessed. And he gives plenty of context with which to understand the influences on the business and the shows themselves. Lots of behind the scene perspectives. Jerry loves radio and still hosts a radio show, Mind Over Matter, weekly on NPR's KALW-FM, from San Francisco. Reading Raised on Radio you can't help but wish it was all just getting started again. It's a great ride.
