Sinossi

In the annals of American broadcasting, few programs have captured the hearts and minds of listeners quite like Monitor, a groundbreaking radio show that aired on NBC from 1955 to 1975. Spanning two decades, Monitor became a cultural phenomenon, captivating millions of Americans with its innovative format, stellar lineup of hosts, and wide-ranging coverage of news, entertainment, and human interest stories.

This book is a celebration of Monitor and the golden age of radio it represents. Through vivid storytelling and extensive research, it takes readers on a journey back in time to experience the excitement and magic of this iconic program.

Readers will meet the legendary hosts of Monitor, including Dave Garroway, Hugh Downs, Gene Rayburn, and Arlene Francis, and learn about their unique contributions to the show's success. They will also discover the behind-the-scenes stories of the show's production, from the challenges of broadcasting live 24 hours a day to the camaraderie among the cast and crew.

But Monitor was more than just a radio show; it was a cultural phenomenon that reflected and shaped American society in the mid-20th century. The book explores Monitor's impact on everything from politics and sports to music and popular culture. It also examines the show's role in shaping the sound of American English and its legacy as a training ground for some of the biggest names in broadcasting.

With its rich cast of characters, fascinating stories, and insightful analysis, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of radio, American culture, or the golden age of broadcasting. It is a celebration of a bygone era, a reminder of the power of broadcasting to connect people and inform and entertain them, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Monitor.

    "The Theory of the Leisure Class" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist. The book is a seminal work of economic sociology and a critique of the consumption-driven culture of the late 19th century United States. 
    Veblen's central thesis is that the upper class, or the "leisure class," engages in conspicuous consumption as a way of displaying their social status and wealth. This behavior, he argues, is not only wasteful and unproductive but also harmful to society as a whole, as it perpetuates a culture of inequality and social stratification. 
    Veblen also discusses the role of technology in shaping society, arguing that the development of machines and industrial processes has led to the emergence of a new class of technocrats who control the means of production and wield significant power over the rest of society. 
    Overall, "The Theory of the Leisure Class" is a critical examination of the social and economic structures that shape modern society. It remains a landmark work in the field of economic sociology and has had a profound influence on the study of consumption, social stratification, and the role of technology in society
