Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.

The Disaster Artist is Greg Sestero's laugh-out-loud funny account of how Tommy Wiseau defied every law of artistry, business, and friendship to make "the Citizen Kane of bad movies" ( Entertainment Weekly), which is now an international phenomenon.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject: the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.

Billy Crystal is 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life.

Take one look at Kevin Smith: He's a balding fatty who wears a size XXL hockey jersey, shorts, and slippers year-round. Not a likely source for life advice. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.

Great book about the radio business
As an old radio guy I loved this book about Joe's journey from hanging around a small radio station, to becoming one of the biggest network voice over artists in the country. The extra production elements added to the audio book are spectacular, and really add to the story!

Just Wonderful
It's great to find somebody who loves what they do and can tell you why, and Joe Cipriano is the champion of that. His inside look at moving up through the ranks of radio, TV and voiceovers gives not only the secrets of the trade, but of the meaning of life--find something, ignore the odds, and rise like the sun. Unlike some well meaning audiobooks, this one is -- naturally -- professionally produced, and a joy to listen to whether on an airplane, in the shower (caution for appropriate electronics), or scraping used Nicorettes off Don Imus' desk. You'll never see Cipriano crucified for crudity, skank, or desperation tactics--and yet he's got the fastest comebacks of them all and in a duel of wits, look out. A pleasure to listen to!

Great story and great narration, obviously...
If you could sum up Living On Air in three words, what would they be?
This was a cool insight to the life and progression of a "voice" I have listened to since I was child. Most of the time without even knowing it was him!
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is the only character really, but my favorite part of his life/book would be when he was a kid learning to be a DJ. It's the time when he was still young and innocent to the ways of adult life and it amazed me how sure Dave was about what he wanted to do. As he said, with some determination and a TON of luck, you can make you dreams come true. What a great way to achieve it!
Which character – as performed by Joe Cipriano – was your favorite?
Usually, I only listen to unabridged, straightforward narrations. A little change in voice for different characters is good, but once all the sound effects and drama re-enactments come in to play, I tend to lose interest. However, in this book, the sound effects were used so well, it really took you back in time to the moments that Dave was talking about. I truly felt the "era" of each sound. In a chronological piece like this, it worked perfectly. It also really helped the comedy stand out and brought you into the stories.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed a ton, a few times out loud. Which isn't something books can often do for me. I think the fact that this was read by one of the world's best voice artist just drew me into the book and helped make it so real. Sometimes narrators can lose and audiences interest. That didn't happen once for me the whole time!
Any additional comments?
I'd say this is a definite great listen! Not like any other biography I've read or listened to, this feels almost like a novel. I would highly recommend it!

This is a great story and you can't beat the narration by the great Joe Cip! It's funny, touching and an all around good read (listen). The fact that he turned the audio version into more of a production than an ordinary audio book really brings it to life.

Amazing Audiobook
This audiobook tells a beautiful story. It takes listeners on a journey from a small town in Connecticut, to Washington D.C. and on to the bright lights and big studios of Hollywood. It covers the ups and downs of radio and voice acting.
Joe Cipriano is an amazing storyteller, with such a legendary career to back it up. The work and audio production From Joe & Ann Cipriano, AJ McKay and others is simply fantastic.
This book has meant so much to me personally. When I was having a difficult time, this audiobook got me through. When my father had two strokes, he listened to this, to pass the time.
Very fun, exciting and worth the listen. The best part, the voice of practically every network TV promo, is your guide.

Wow! Loved, loved, loved this book!
This took me back and reminded me why I do what I do. I can’t put into words how much this book reminded me of my own childhood and my love of Radio. It would take me much longer to find myself working at a radio station than it did Joe but I can honestly say I really identified white his emotions as if I were experience this journey myself.
The production was out of this world. Kudos have to go out to AJ Mackay as this was very different from any other audiobook I have ever listen to but it was also what brought this story to life. I felt like I was listening to my am/fm radio in bed at night losing sleep before the next school day! You rocked it Tim, I mean Dave. Or was it Joe? Awesome and I do plan to listen again. Great stuff!

Story of my life!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Living On Air to be better than the print version?
The audio version is so much fun to listen to, Joe brings so much humor to this listening experience. I couldn't imagine just reading it.
What does Joe Cipriano bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
PpJoe has a great sense of humor and you can tell that a lot of time and care went into the production of this piece.
The sound effects seemed to put you to the right time and place as he re-examined his life journey!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I listened to Joe's story and it reminded me of myself as a child and loving radio, having the feeling that "I have to be on the air"...
Myself not even close as Joe's carrier took him, I seemed to live vicariously through his travels, took me back in time before MS took most of my vision and made it more difficult for me to travel from town to town in radio.
Any additional comments?
Most important, at 43, Joe gave me a new outlook on my carrier and the optimist spirit that Joe puts into his life, I now think I can do what I thought was unimaginable!!!
This book is truly funny and uplifting, even if your travels don't take you into radio or TV, it's just as fun to listen to.
