Journal of American History
«Tune in and treat yourself to Susan Ware's fascinating saga of the life and work of radio personality Mary Margaret McBride. Like McBride, Ware is at once probing and entertaining as she analyzes McBrides success from the 1930s through the 1950s, restoring McBride to her rightful place as the mother of talk radio and television.»
Lizabeth Cohen,author of A Consumers' Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar America
«Sincere and sometimes self-effacing, Mary Margaret was the Oprah of her day- her name a household word that might be forgotten if not for Susan Ware's carefully researched and charmingly likeable biography.»
American Journalism
«Drawing on archives that include McBrides radio interviews, as well as letters from former listeners, Ware begins with a description of McBrides radio show when it was at its height.»
Booklist
