Meet the Author: Marc Fisher on "Something in the Air: Radio, Rock & the Revolution That Shaped a Generation" January 25, 2007

Washington Post columnist Fisher has crafted a well-written and researched history of radio and its essential role in the emergence of America’s social change and youth movements. In this sweeping, anecdotal account of the great sounds and voices of radio, he explores the evolution of radio. Fisher takes us from a near death (due to TV) in the 1950s, through Elvis and changing times, to alternative FM and Howard Stern’s outrageous antics with narratives from almost 100 interviews. Fisher argues persuasively that radio helped to break down racial barriers, created a common popular culture and birthed the counterculture. An award-winning journalist, Fisher reports and writes about local, national and personal issues.
