Reviews
“Tony Stoller is a passionate observer of who we are and what can change the way we live. His account of how, through commercial radio, classical music has reached unexpectedly varied and loyal mass audiences, radically challenges many traditional cultural assumptions. An early enabler of Britain’s radio revolution, here he becomes a powerful advocate for why breaking the monopoly of the BBC became an unexpected signifier of profound social change.” (Gillian Reynolds MBE is the radio critic of the Daily Telegraph)
