It's a remarkable story infused with wit and self-deprecating humor. Broadcast Live: 71 true stories, including some I'd just as soon forget traces the remarkable journey of a humble farm boy to accomplished journalist, broadcaster and corporate communicator with (shall we say) interesting waypoints along the path. Steve Vogel invites readers to step back into the heart of America, spanning the latter half of the 20th Century into the new millennium. The result is a captivating memoir that's also a cultural snapshot. In its review, IndieReader says, 'With the skill and warmth of a lifelong storyteller, Vogel effortlessly pairs slice-of-life minutiae with a number of significant historical moments.' It calls Broadcast Live 'always-thoughtful, often-amusing...while illuminating larger truths about American life, media, and the human experience.' Publishers Weekly's BookLife says ''Broadcast Live' balances the lighthearted with the profound, springing from prosaic childhood experiences to perceptive adult reflections that touch on social justice, cultural constructs, and a deep contemplation of what the future holds.' Vogel is author of the New York Times best-seller, 'Reasonable Doubt.'

Steve Vogel is a veteran print and broadcast journalist, columnist, and talk show host who claims his journalism career began with youthful production of a neighborhood newspaper on a farm where neighbors were few. With a B.A. from Illinois Wesleyan University and a master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, his career has spanned print and broadcast news, radio programming, corporate communications and newspaper column writing. His work has appeared in publications ranging from 'The Congressional Record' to 'Corvette Magazine.' His 'Reasonable Doubt' was a 'New York Times' best-seller and is part of the St. Martin's Press 'True Crime Classics' library. He co-authored another true crime book, 'The Unforgiven.' Steve's graduate school education was interrupted by service in the U.S. Army, including a year in Germany where he was assigned to the American Forces Radio Network, broadcasting a daily show from Nuremberg. After finishing grad school, Steve resumed his broadcast work with WJBC Radio in Bloomington, Ill., where he did a daily talk show and headed the station's award-winning news department while also doing commentaries on the Voice of America. He later headed State Farm's media relations department and served the company's chairman and CEO as a communications assistant. Still later, he returned to his print journalism roots by writing an opinion page column. He is the recipient of numerous journalism awards, including a Champion-Tuck Award for economics reporting from Dartmouth College, from the Freedom Foundation, the National Headliners Club, the Radio-Television News Directors Association and the Associated Press. He was a semi-finalist in NASA's First Journalist in Space competition and for a decade served as a judge in the Hearst Journalism Awards program. Steve and his wife Mary divide their time between Illinois and Arizona where he serves as president of the board of the East Valley Pops Orchestra.
