Black Radio/Black Resistance: The Life & Times of the Tom Joyner Morning Show
Black Radio/Black Resistance tells the story of the decades-old, wildly popular Tom Joyner Morning Show, a drive-time syndicated and streaming show with progressive politics, wicked humor, and deeply satisfying adult soul music. As lively and funny as the show itself, Black Radio/Black Resistance illuminates American working and middle-class black lives and politics over the last quarter-century.

Praise for this book
"Micaela di Leonardo's fourteen-year analysis of The Tom Joyner Morning Show brilliantly highlights America's 'best kept secret'--the millions of working and middle-class African Americans' lives and interests ignored by mainstream media. di Leonardo documents the TJMS anchors' and audience's stinging humor, fine musical taste, and broadly progressive activist politics--an important and unique take on the black public sphere in the digital age" -- Dorothy E. Roberts, George A. Weiss University Professor of Law & Sociology, University of Pennsylvania"In this penetrating analysis of The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Micaela di Leonardo brings us inside the world of Black Radio. It is a haven for communion and politics, and not only constructs a distinctive world view, but also provides the ferment for political consciousness and action" -- Stephen Steinberg, Distinguished Professor of Urban Studies, Queens College & Graduate Center, CUNY"Black radio is both a lifeline and a party line...demonstrate the celebrated, unique durability that has been practiced using this technology in the work toward self-possession in Black communities throughout the United States." -- Alisha Lola Jones, Technology and Culture Volume 64, number 4
