5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best

I've been a fan of Chuck Schaden forever. This book is a series of interviews he's done with many of the stars of old time radio, and the best thing about it is that goes well beyond the surface. We see where they began their careers, many at the origin of radio itself, and how they proceeded to play or produce many programs that are considered classics. Lots of insights, fueled by the perspective of an interviewer who is extremely well-versed in his subjects, who were clearly flattered by the recognition. Sadly, most or all of the people interviewed here are gone now, but they are not forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening Trip Back to Radio's Golden Era
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2007
Chuck Schaden is the only person ever inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame for being an avid listener. Schaden was a radio fan during radio's golden age and when he reach adulthood, he began collecting and rebroadcasting these shows on his own "Those Were the Days" radio program.

During the 1970's, Schaden had the opportunity to interview many former stars of radio and he often broadcasts these taped interviews on his show. His book, "Speaking of Radio," contains the transcripts of these interviews.

Schaden interviews everyone from Don Ameche and Jack Benny to Rudy Vallee and Willard Waterman (the book contains 46 interviews in all). Most of the subjects were part of entertainment industry but Schaden also interviews World War Two correspondent, Bill Baldwin.

The beauty of the book is that Schaden is so extremely knowledgeable that he is able to ask questions that get at the kernel of whatever program he is discussing with his interviewees (not that he ever takes center stage -- he just knows how to ask the right questions to bring out the best answers). The result is an extremely enlightening read on a largely forgotten but significant slice of American entertainment history.

The book is available on Schaden's website, [...]
