Sixty Slices of Life ... on Wry 

The private life of a public broadcaster, read by the author, Fred Flaxman, from his book, "Sixty Slices of Life ... on Wry: The Private Life of a Public Broadcaster," issued by Story Book Publishers.

The book and this radio series are both full of humorous advice on what you can learn about life from your dog, how to get your child to listen to classical music, a unique way to support your public radio station, how to handle door-to-door solicitors, how to cure "the teen disease," whether or not to purchase a potbellied pig, how to speed to success, how to exorcise your evil cholesterol spirits, and -- most important of all -- a better way to make babies.

The book has received nothing but rave reviews all over the internet and is available to stations as premiums for membership drives. More information on the book's website, www.sixtyslices.com.

The radio pieces are numbered 1 through 60, but can be broadcast in any order. They are not being released, nor were they written, in numerical order. They are designed for use in radio magazine programs, to be introduced and "outroduced" by the host. They vary in length. Hide full description
