5.0 out of 5 stars Air Talents! You NEED this book!, June 23, 2002
By Jay Nunley (Charleston, WV USA) - See all my reviews
Personality Radio will quickly become more important to you than a good pair of headphones or digital editing. The advice and instruction are of the utmost value for rookies and veterans alike. The book is well written and simply put...a great read!

More importantly, you will find inspiration and energy in this book. I read a small portion every day before I go on the air to draw on this inspiration and to crank up my energy level.

You will take heart to find there are hundreds of people who've walked down the radio path that have had the same problems, fears, adventures, and joy you have.

Personality Radio should be on ever air talent's bookshelf and in the air studio of every radio station.

5.0 out of 5 stars DJ's choice, August 9, 2001
Whenever I need to recharge myself about this great business of radio, I breeze through the number of stories by the pros that Dan features in the book. Whether you're new to radio or you've been at it for years pick it up and get behind a mic.
