“Radio Pro takes you behind the microphone and behind the scenes by telling twisted tales of how rock ’n’ roll and radio grew up together. It’s not all pretty, but it is all real. But above all, Radio Pro is a love story, one that shines a light on a generation of men and women who made their dreams come true when they discovered themselves on the radio.”
— Bob Shannon, author of Turn It Up! American Radio Tales, 1946–1996
