| Summary |
The Emperors of Air are funny guys. Sometimes funnier than they realise. They're also irresistible salesmen, but what are they selling? Talkback brings to book readers what the proprietors of radio stations would perhaps want to leave on the airwaves -- transcripts of the wit and wisdom of the talkback Emperors -- introduced with customary flair by Phillip Adams. Hilarious, shocking, depressing and outrageous, Talkback calls into question the values, methods and influence of these self-proclaimed arbiters of public opinion |
