Broadcast Live by Steve Vogel

It's a remarkable story infused with wit and self-deprecating humor. Broadcast Live: 71 true stories, including some I'd just as soon forget traces the remarkable journey of a humble farm boy to accomplished journalist, broadcaster and corporate communicator with (shall we say) interesting waypoints along the path. Steve Vogel invites readers to step back into the heart of America, spanning the latter half of the 20th Century into the new millennium. The result is a captivating memoir that's also a cultural snapshot. In its review, IndieReader says, "With the skill and warmth of a lifelong storyteller, Vogel effortlessly pairs slice-of-life minutiae with a number of significant historical moments." It calls Broadcast Live "always-thoughtful, often-amusing…while illuminating larger truths about American life, media, and the human experience." Publishers Weekly's BookLife says "'Broadcast Live' balances the lighthearted with the profound, springing from prosaic childhood experiences to perceptive adult reflections that touch on social justice, cultural constructs, and a deep contemplation of what the future holds." Vogel is author of the New York Times best-seller, "Reasonable Doubt."
