Barry Michaels-Radio is My Life! |
by Dieter Martin |
http://www.thebarrymichaels.com
Thirty year broadcast veteran Barry Michaels, ('Michaels In The
Morning') has quite a few stories to tell! His early life was an
idyllic one, growing up on picturesque farm land in the
southeastern United States, with a Mom and Dad to admire and a
support group of aunts and uncles that many don�t have today.
Barry became interested in radio at an early age, becoming a
�gopher� for one local radio personality and quickly learning
where the emphasis is placed in the term �show business�.
Barry's career began in earnest after college, when he finally
screwed up his courage to apply at a small radio station near
his hometown, where he spoke mostly to cows. Little did
management know that he would have paid them to be on the air!
From having the honor of being recognized by his peers with
nominations as Major Market Air Personality of the Year to
working as a towel boy in a swanky country club between radio
jobs, you�ll share in Barry�s top of the mountain triumphs and

ey lows. You'll get to meet some of the most talented
professionals in the business and you'll cheer the heroes and
clinch your teeth at the bad guys! Barry also honors those who
entertained and inspired an entire generation of radio
personalities-the voices on those fifty thousand watt a.m. radio
stations with legendary call letters like WLS, WCFL, WABC and
more.
From sleeping in his Volkswagen 'Bug' to traveling across the
United States five times in search of the perfect on air radio
job, Barry's stories are poignant and laugh out loud funny.
Learn how Barry was almost gunned down by a psychotic listener
at a radio station in Orlando, Florida before his boss
intervened. See radio through his eyes when he begins work at a
rock and roll station that employs a Catholic priest as a 'DJ�,
and dodges flying beer bottles in one of the many bars he makes
appearances in for his radio station.
The 'Radio Road' is littered with many bumps along the way and
you may even see yourself as Barry attempts to raise three young
sons as a single father and tries a comeback after a bitter
divorce and child custody battle. You may not want to enter the
thirty five dollar a week almost condemned house Barry was
living in while awaiting the court�s ruling. You really don�t
want to wake up in his room during a thunderstorm as rats
prepare to feast on his toes! Meet his new landlord, who�s down
on his luck too, and has a secretive past with the United States
Army. Barry's adventures have taken him from the beautiful
stillness of his blue Virginia mountains to the golden Pacific
ocean--all seen through the window of his beloved Volkswagen
Beetle, which he still owns. It's radio, it�s life, and it's
real. Come along for the ride, and find out the true stories of
those 'masked riders of the hertzian wave.' With photo and audio
collection. Read more about Barry's life here-
