An avid fan of public radio, Phillips was driven to know more about the people who deliver the news, the conversation, and the diverse programs that she and millions of others rely on every day. The result is Public Radio: Behind the Voices, a collection of personal stories from more than forty of the most listened to voices in public radio, including Noah Adams, Susan Stamberg, Scott Simon, Diane Rehm, and Terry Gross.

Phillips is a gifted journalist, able to draw out her subjects' vibrant presence on the printed page. From Publishers Weekly While commercial radio has become increasingly formulaic, Phillips says, the radio audience has established an intimate connection with public radio hosts: "This voice-to-ear relationship is a startlingly radical one in an era when image is everything." The SUNY journalism professor, who has worked at six public radio stations in five states, is passionate about her field, and her fervor is evident throughout these 43 profiles of public radio personalities, her "broadcasting heroes." Blending research with in-depth interviews, she divides the portraits into three categories. Phillips praises the narrative style of Ira Glass (This American Life) and the conversational approach of Fresh Air's Terry Gross, although Glass and Gross both declined to be interviewed.

To say that many of these cases are strange is a vast understatement: some of this is just gruesome - and funny.The most interesting aspects of these stories is the often convoluted journeys these body parts (or remains) make once separated from the famous body: I have always admired Dorothy Parker's writing and her persona and to read how her ashes ended up being buried - twenty years after her death - on the grounds of the NAACP headquarters is one ridiculous story, a story worthy of Parker's famous sense of humor. Grattan's account provides solid proof that the Union's leaders were planning and executing combined operations all along. His credibility speaks for himself, and if his recent induction into the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame is not enough, we have his conduct, his devotion and love to his fellow human being throughout his life to set as an example.The second half of the XX Century, is rich in events, with their influence still going strong in our daily lives. Great journal for keeping track of workouts and food intake. From phrases as simple and common as 'what do you think?', men and w
