The Radio Funny Book

A review by John Harris, retired reporter, The National Enquirer The Radio Funny Book offers a fast-paced read with plenty of humor. And along the way, it also imparts interesting insights into the behind-the-scenes operation of radio and the people who make it happen. Bob Doll brings more than a half-century's experience in every facet of radio, starting as a junior announcer, and progressing through manager, and station-owner positions on his way to becoming an author and radio consultant in retirement. Bob has a love of people and a sympathetic ear attuned to human foibles. His book brings out the best of both. And as one who is interested in, but has never worked in radio, I found it instructive as well as humorous. For example, I had no idea how a station is assigned its call letters. I learned in Bob's book. It's not only an entertaining read but an enlightening one as well.
