  • 4 Stars Useful indeed by Mark W. Monahan - London, UK
  • After years of teaching Media and the like, I've discovered that it's near impossible to find a book about radi owhich gives it to you straight.

    I've searched high and low for something that isn't just aimed at those who "already know" and glad I chanced upon this. I've been running a student radio station and needed some insight into the conventions and workings of putting together a radio show.

    It covers not only the basics but also more in-depth topics for those moving towards a more professional show.

    It's more of a reference piece than a "read from cover to cover" book. But definitely worth a look

  • 4 Stars A Nuts and Bolts Primer - worth a read by C. J. mockridge - Devon, UK
  • This is the Haynes Manual of radio.

    Nuts and Bolts. What happens where, when and why. All of it laid bare in front of you. Do as this book says and you will have the basic skills.

    Want to know why Chris Evans sounds good and your mates Podcast doesn't? - Buy the book.

    It is, however, mechanical. It won't give you any spark or colour. It won't make you one of the greats. Followed slavishly it may even make you dull.

    This is the rule book. Read it, re-read it then throw it away - or you'll end up on Heart earning less than a van driver.

    Recommended, but not on its own.

  • 3 Stars Essential Radio Skills: How to Present and Produce a Radio Show by JC - UK
  • Not as much on the production side as I expected - seems to be geared towards those who want to learn about DJs and how the music type shows are presented. Not much use for factual or documentary programs.

  • 5 Stars Essential radio skills! by M. J. Morrow - London
  • This book is a real gem. Working as a hospital radio presenter for two years I have picked up a fair ammount of knowledge whilst 'on the job', but this book is fantastic. I learnt so much. Some things that Peter talks about in the book you would pay good money to be taught at a radio school. Do yourself a favour. If you buy one book to teach you how to be a radio presenter, pick this one!
