Listen to a sample Listen to a sample
A National Book Award-winning author, Stanley Elkin creates novels that are tapestries of humor, satire, and caricature. In books like Mrs. Ted Bliss and The Living End, he offers wry visions of contemporary culture. The Dick Gibson Show is a hilarious panorama of the world of talk radio. At night, a little boy listens to radio stations from Detroit, Memphis, and New Orleans. When he grows up, his first job is with a tiny station in Butte, Montana. But one night, when a transcription error silences the regular program, he stands in front of the microphone to make an announcement. As his voice fills the airways, Dick Gibson is born. Dick Gibson's love affair with radio will carry him on a collision course with station executives and bizarre talk show callers. His passion for air time is unquenchable. As narrator George Guidall highlights the layers of wit, The Dick Gibson Show takes on all the snappy energy of a live broadcast.
