about the book
For over four decades, Gomez Adams has been a familiar voice to Syracuse radio listeners, cracking jokes, spinning tracks, and waking up CNY with a shot of humor, heart, and just a little chaos. Now, the beloved local DJ invites you behind the scenes of his long-running career in radio.
From prank calls and promotional events gone sideways to unforgettable listeners, on-air mishaps, and moments of unexpected tenderness, this is a laugh-out-loud and surprisingly touching collection of stories that span from the analog '80s to the digital now. Packed with nostalgia, insider quirks, and the kind of tales that only happen in live radio, Gomez's memoir is a love letter to the medium - and to the community that's tuned in all these years.
Whether you grew up listening to him or just love behind-the-scenes antics, this book hits all the right notes.
