Book Description
Before the internet, smartphones or cable, there was a lone social media force that was more powerful than Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok, and all the rest combined. This portal to humanity was conducted by live humans in real time to inform, engage, and entertain the entire human race, and its cost was just a small one-time fee for ownership of this alluring device. The accounts and descriptions of how it operated and the personal journey one could encounter engaging with its usage mesmerized followers to become an invisible, mythical prodigy and a creation most could never imagine living without. While this once unstoppable influence is still with us today, it has now become just another choice in the hundreds of other options we have to keep ourselves entertained. Don’t Touch that Radio Dial is a love story from one who stood within a very small inner circle of performers who helped to create the legacy of the world’s very first social platform. As the curtain is pulled back, beware of the consequences as we ask you, please don’t touch that radio dial. (You don’t know where it’s been.)
