The Radio Gypsies

The Radio Gypsies recounts real and not-so-real stories about the turbulent and free-wheelin’ radio wars of the 1970s as seen through the eyes of two programming consultants. These were the years when FM gained dominance and radio was truly creative and competitive. It’s a comical read about the real sex, drugs and rock and roll that happens on the other side of the microphone. It also recounts the triumphs and disappointments, which exemplify the Baby Boomers’ early adult years. Ride along with Geoff and I.P. in an insane, rollicking adventure that takes them from Waco to Chicago, from London to Swaziland, and to the heights of the most competitive radio battles and markets. It’s written for those of us who lived through radio’s most exciting years, who mark their youth with the tunes and jocks of the ’70s, and for the young men and women still doing their best to get entertainment and music to their listeners, whether terrestrial, satellite or online.
