Witty, wise, rueful commentaries from one of broadcasting's funniest, most stylish writers and newsmen. "Charles Osgood is one of the better writers in the us today, any form or medium," says Dan Rather, and Jim Lehrer concurs, "He's a particular mind and voice in a small business where his kind is rare-and cherished." No-one writes quite the way he does-the offbeat stories that produce listeners stop and pay attention; the commentaries where he shares his sense of wonder, dismay, or amusement; the well-spun stories of irony that often burst forth into wordplay or even poetry. See You on the Radio gathers together over one hundred essays on from potholes, perfumes, felons and "freeloaders" ("Bank card customers paying promptly! Taking bread from the tables of the moneylenders!"); to psychopaths and politicians (more alike than you think); to earthquakes, animal heirs, and the advancement of science. In all, it is further proof why, in what of Walter Cronkite, Charles Osgood "is one of the greatest talents in broadcasting today."
