Radio Active (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780823286706)

Radio Active is William O'Shaughnessy's fifth collection of essays, on-air interviews, tributes and eulogies, endorsements, recollections of an evening, and more from "perhaps the finest broadcaster in America" whose commentaries are akin to "potato chips" per former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger because "You can't stop with only one."

The book opens with a ringing signature defense of the First Amendment and collected O'Shaughnessy correspondence with heroes and "villains," and insightful sections honoring former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, who said, "When O'Shaughnessy is on his game . . . he's better than anyone on the air or in print." There is also a section on the estimable Bush family.

In eliciting "provocative and candid revelations" from his wide circle, this new compendium pulses with brilliant, insightful prose and a life-affirming reverence for luminous people, places, and events, past and present.
