"In dozens of amiable, frequently humorous vignettes... Mahoney fondly recalls his career as a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio technician in this memoir... amusing and highly informative."
— Kirkus Reviews

"What a wonderful book! If you love CBC Radio, you'll love Adventures in the Radio Trade. Joe Mahoney's honest, wise, and funny stories from his three decades in broadcasting make for absolutely delightful reading!
— Robert J. Sawyer, author of The Oppenheimer Alternative''

"No other book makes me love the CBC more."
— Gary Dunford, Page Six
***
Adventures in the Radio Trade documents a life in radio, largely at Canada's public broadcaster. It's for people who love CBC Radio, those interested in the history of Canadian Broadcasting, and for those who want to hear about close encounters with numerous luminaries such as Margaret Atwood, J. Michael Straczynski, Stuart McLean, Joni Mitchell, Peter Gzowski and more. And it's for people who want to know how to make radio.

Crafted with gentle humour and thoughtfulness, this is more than just a glimpse into the internal workings of CBC Radio. It's also a prose ode to the people and shows that make CBC Radio great.

If you are a listener of radio, especially the CBC, this book is for you! And if you have ever been involved in the production of audio (or video), you will quickly identify with the author's trials and tribulations as well as resounding successes. Should you be a layman on the technical details, don't worry: there is a comprehensive Glossary included, but I think context makes it relatable to all readers anyway - I never had to refer to it and the author takes the time to 'set the stage' well in description.
There are so few books that take place behind the scenes of the radio world, and this one is unique. As a lifelong fan of CBC radio, with an interest in how it all comes together, I recommend this book highly to everyone, and if you are or want to be a media production student at college then this book will share some valuable insights that come from decades of experience.
A brilliant, humorous, and exceedingly well-written tale!
