Synopsis

In Radio Ingleside; A Life On Air, John Harding traces his journey from a small southern town on the North Carolina border to the excitement of big time network news and a 33 year career with Virginia’s largest and most influential radio station. The book opens with John’s vivid imagination running away with him in his backyard in Emporia, Virginia. Soon, his fantasy centers on radio where reality comes on a pirate station in his basement. The young owner of the local station hears him and at the age of 14, a career path slowly emerges as John struggles to find his own identity in a very creative family. His mother was a poet and designer; his father was an accomplished woodworker and carver; sister Barbara was a successful artist and sister June was a Broadway, Television and Movie star. Finding his way, John wrecks the family car shortly after getting his license and flunks the 10th grade. Undaunted, his mother is determined he will go to college. Ultimately, John lands at WRVA in Richmond where he becomes a respected and honored newsman and secretly, the creator and voice of a fantasy character named “Millard The Mallard.” With Foreword by Richmond Radio legend Lou Dean and back cover blurb by longtime radio personality Tim Timberlake, Radio Ingleside is a love story about radio and sadly, its undoing. “Radio Ingleside; A Life On Air” is an expanded version of the Kindle edition.
