My name is Don Sainte‑Johnn — author, broadcaster, consultant, and educator. I have written a memoir titled San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Disc Jockey, and I am offering advance reader copies to Goodreads reviewers who may be interested in reading it and sharing an honest review.
The story:
Before playlists were controlled by computers, radio personalities ruled the airwaves. In this behind‑the‑microphone memoir, I trace my path from a determined young broadcaster with a dream to working in major radio markets across the country, ultimately arriving in San Francisco during the golden era of Top 40 radio.
If you ever listened to radio in the 1960s or 1970s and wondered what really happened behind the microphone, this book opens the studio door.
It is also a personal story about the road that led me there — the people, challenges, risks, and turning points that shaped both the broadcaster and the person behind the voice. Along the way, the book captures an era when DJs did not simply play music — they performed it. Every shift was live, every break mattered, and one voice could help define the sound and spirit of an entire city.
For fans of:
Broadcasting history, music culture, classic Top 40 radio, media memoirs, and behind‑the‑scenes stories from the entertainment industry.
Themes:
Radio history, music culture, personal ambition, career struggles, media evolution, and life behind the microphone.
If you would like to receive an advance copy in exchange for an honest review on Goodreads and/or Amazon, I can send:
Digital: PDF or ePub
If you are interested, feel free to comment or send me a direct message. Thank you for supporting authors and sharing your reviews with the reading community.
