In the middle of the last century, radio moved toward conglomerate ownership as it was stripped of its network support. With the emergence of television, advertising dollars began fleeing the old medium for the new, and took with them radio's brightest stars: Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Amos ?n Andy and so many more. It was precisely at this point in time that Keller arrived at his first studio with an audition tape and a passion for broadcasting. From building ?stacks of wax, ? to reading live commercials, to color-casting Ohio State football games, there was little in the world of broadcast that couldn't be bungled. Through this rollicking, coming-of-age story, you?ll meet the men and women who made radio in Columbus in the 1950s and ?60?s.

Monkey on a Turntable: Living on Love and Leftovers in Local Radio
Few careers of women television journalists will be written about in memoirs. Stahl's story of her own path to the emerging field of TV journalism at a time when there were few men is an important first-hand account for feminists, media studies and journalism history readers.
Like a good journalist does, Stahl writes with a straight-forward style, includes all the facts to present her point and doesn't sugar coat the obstacles or cringe-worthy moments. Her voice rings true, however, to a woman who faced fears and exceeded the expectations of others to cover major moments in American and world history.
I relied on this book when producing an episode on the Women Who Reported Watergate, for my podcast Advanced TV Herstory.
Recommend to casual and academic readers.
