BUSHNELL ON BOOKS: ‘Talk Radio: A Novel’ and ‘Prospects: Mining Maine for Riches’
Ham Martin’s colorful portrayal of talk radio’s impact on people, and a novel with an entertaining family and business saga
By Bill Bushnell
TALK RADIO: A NOVEL
Nationally broadcast radio talk-shows have become the acidic theater of political screed. Fortunately, local talk-radio is still focused on things that really matter the town budget, the best lobster bait, house paint tips and bean suppers.
“Talk Radio” is Maine author Ham Martin’s wonderful novel about a very local talk-radio show in Frost Pound, at station WNWT, 1420 on the AM dial, five mornings a week from nine to noon. Martin has written screenplays for 20 years and his skills with characters and dialogue are perfect for this charming and funny story.
