THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Steve Oney, Author of ON AIR: The Triumph and Tumult of NPR

"ON AIR" delves into the history of NPR, highlighting key aspects of its journey from a unique newcomer to a major media force.  ON AIR offers a unique glimpse behind the curtain of NPR.

“On Air: The Triumph and Tumult of NPR”

 Fascinating, revelatory, and irresistibly dishy, this is a riveting account of NPR’s unlikely launch, chaotic ascent, and ultimate triumph.

An “engrossing and entertaining…major work of media history” that reveals the unlikely story of one of America’s most celebrated but least understood media empires.  (The New York Times Book Review)

Steve Oney is a longtime journalist who worked for many years as a staff writer for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Magazine and Los Angeles magazine. He has also contributed articles to many national publications, including Esquire, The Wall Street Journal, New York magazine, GQ, and The New York Times Magazine. 

His history of the lynching of Leo Frank, And the Dead Shall Rise, won the American Bar Association’s Silver Gavel Award and the National Jewish Book Award. 

Oney was educated at the University of Georgia and at Harvard, where he was a Nieman Fellow.
