Description: Tells the story of the obstacles the author and his wife Anita faced as they tried to make their idea for a progressive radio network a reality. Beyond chronicling their odyssey through the worlds of politics, money and media, Road to Air America shares the historical background to Air Americas liberal voice, and how it led to Drobny's fight against what he sees as the biased agenda of corporate media ownership.
