3.0 out of 5 stars Little more than a pamphlet, but that doesn't make it bad., January 24, 2010

To keep this short and sweet, this 'book' does contain decent information. For the price however, you are basically getting 5 pages of text nicely formatted into a 50 page, double spaced booklet. I would recommend this to youths who know little to nothing about the radio industry, but teens and above can easily find this same information on the web.

Jack Broady's book On-Air is a wealth of information. He tells the inside scoop regarding the in's and out's of how to land a job in radio. I followed his advice (Method 2) and got a job offer in a week. I am thrilled to say the least. This book is worth every penny and I highly recommend it to anyone considering an "on-air" career.

This book is not the end all be all of getting a job in broadcasting, but it gives some helpful tips that you may not know. It is very basic and beginner for people who just need some advice about where to begin on the search. It's a hard career to break into, but you have to start somewhere. If you have a mentor I wouldn't buy this book as you will get the same advice from your mentor.
