Steve Somers: Me Here, You There, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

On July 1, 1987 The city that never sleeps debuted the first 24-7 all-sports radio station in the USA. Steve Somers was here--and perhaps you, there--in WFAN's earliest days, an anxious sports media journeyman who had accepted a minimum-paygrade contract and the six-hour, overnight time slot that came with it.
> While Somers has been called the soul of WFAN, it was those listeners and callers that became the soul of his shows: Jerome from Manhattan, Short Al from Brooklyn, Doris from Rego Park, and Jerry from Queens (who knew a thing or two about making a show about nothing).
In *Me Here, You There,*Somers reflects on life as a Schmoozer from San Francisco with a dream-come-true of working the concrete jungle. From a childhood calling play-by-play into a lightbulb he pretended was a microphone, to three decades in the WFAN studios, Somers details the luck, leaps of faith, and memorable characters that, for better and for worse, shaped his improbable career.

By turns wry and enchanting, Somers has authored a must-read for die-hard New York sports fans and anyone who appreciates a good story
