great bedtime story!
By A
Came across this book in the library, and it caught my attention. Started to read it and got hooked. Never thought much about all night radio, but it turns out to be quite a story, and Keith is great at telling it. It is well researched and full of great anecdotes and observations. There’s lots to keep your eyes open in this volume. I really like the first person narratives. They add so much to the tale.
