At last, from the man who built it, comes the first-hand account of the rocky road that led to our nation’s first liberal talk radio network.

In Road to Air America, Chicago businessman and philanthropist Sheldon Drobny tells the story of the obstacles he and his wife Anita faced as they tried to make their idea for a progressive radio network a reality. Beyond chronicling their odyssey through the worlds of politics, money and media, Road to Air America shares the historical background to Air America’s liberal voice, and how it led to Drobny's fight against what he sees as the biased agenda of corporate media ownership. More than a compelling read, Road to Air America is a vital tool in the ongoing debate about the role of media in American society.
