Adventures in the Radio Trade

Now Available!

"Mahoney fondly recalls his career as a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio technician in this memoir... In dozens of amiable, frequently humorous vignettes...amusing and highly informative."

~ Kirkus Reviews

"What a wonderful book! If you love CBC Radio, you'll love Adventures in the Radio Trade. Joe Mahoney's honest, wise, and funny stories from his three decades in broadcasting make for absolutely delightful reading!

~ Robert J. Sawyer, author of The Oppenheimer Alternative''

"No other book makes me love the CBC more."

~ Gary Dunford, Page Six

Adventures in the Radio Trade documents a life in radio, largely at Canada's public broadcaster. It's for people who love CBC Radio, those interested in the history of broadcasting, and for anyone who wants to know how to make radio.

Crafted with gentle humour and thoughtfulness, this is more than just a glimpse into the internal workings of CBC Radio. It's also a prose ode to the people and shows that make CBC Radio great.

Testimonials

  • "Joe isn't exactly what you'd call a bestselling author. But he was there for me right from Day One, and that's good enough for me."

    ~ Oz

  • "Joe has never won the Stephen Leacock award. None of his books has ever won Canada Reads, a Hugo or Nebula Award, or the Pulitzer Prize. He’s never won an Aurora Award, a Giller Prize, or any other damned literary award. He did, however, come second place in a chess tournament once."

    ~ Lily

  • "I'm pretty sure he didn't set out to write the best books ever written. That happened entirely by accident."

    ~ Wendy

  • "To be completely honest, I've never read any of Joe's books and probably never will because, first of all, I'm a dog, and second of all, I've been dead quite a while now."

    ~ Maxwell

  • "You can certainly buy Joe's books. And you can definitely read Joe's books. You might even enjoy Joe's books. But frankly, we'd much rather eat Joe's books."

    ~ Lexi and Speedy

  • "They say there's no money in books anymore. It's simply not true. Why, I found a two dollar bill in one just the other day."

    ~ Chloe

  • "There are hundreds of thousands of books published every single year. Why, then, should you choose one of Joe's books over all those others? Because I said so, that's why."

    ~ Brandy

  • “I’ve been told Joe’s writing is quite good. That being said are you going to trust any human’s judgement?”

    ~ Bella

  • I'm part beagle, and therefore a distant relative of Snoopy, who knows a thing or two about writing. And as such I heartily endorse Joe's writing, which, although not anywhere near as good as Snoopy's, could certainly be a lot worse.

    ~ Sarge

  • "I'm far too busy to read Joe's books, so I can't comment on that. But he gives a mean belly rub, I can tell you that. Oh yeah baby."

    ~ Macy

  • "Joe wrote a coupla books? Huh! Who knew? Wait... what 's a book again?"

    ~ Riggs

This is not the Joe Mahoney you’re looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.
