"Talk
Radio Advocate" Francine Silverman is an
author/publicist and radio host who honed her writing skills
as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer.
Her
latest book is Talk Radio
Wants You: An Intimate Guide to 700 Shows and How to Get
Invited (McFarland & Co. 2009), a National
"Best Books 2009" award winner in the Business:
Reference category. The book contains everything a
potential guest needs to know before contacting a host,
including the theme of the show and guest criteria.
Talk radio can be one of the most effective ways of promoting
a new book, business, product, or personal story. It's
fast, it's easy, and for the most part, its free. But
for all of talk radio's benefits, there is one significant
challenge facing prospective talk radio guests: trying to get
on the show. While smaller, terrestrial radio stations
are more likely to accept and respond to guests' requests,
these stations are also far more likely to have websites that
are poorly designed or infrequently maintained. More
often than not, these sites contain little information
regarding guest criteria or procedures, and many don't even
specify whether or not the show welcomes guests at all.
This
book seeks to bridge the gap between show hosts and
prospective guests, providing a reference guide to roughly 700
talk radio shows from the U.S. and around the world.
Based on interviews and submissions from the radio hosts
themselves, it provides readers with all of the program,
including show titles, descriptions, themes, guest criteria,
host' biographies, host-preferred contact information, and
helpful tips on how to best pitch your ideas to the show hosts
or producers. Entries are organized under categories of
show themes, including Religion, Travel, Addiction and
Recovery, Sports, Entertainment, and many more. The book
also includes information on many of Talkers Magazine's Top
250 Radio Talk Shows, interview tips for radio guests, and
tips for conducting a radio interview over the phone.
