“On Air The Triumph and Tumult of NPR”
Fascinating, revelatory, and irresistibly dishy, this is a riveting account of NPR’s unlikely launch, chaotic ascent, and ultimate triumph.
An “engrossing and entertaining…major work of media history” that reveals the unlikely story of one of America’s most celebrated but least understood media empires. (The New York Times Book Review)

At 16, John Badanjek, known as Johnny Bee, drummed for Motor City’s premier rock band, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels. He delivered one of rock’s greatest drum breaks, according to Rolling Stone Magazine.
After the band disbanded in 1967, ”Bee" toured and recorded with Edgar Winter, Alice Cooper, Dr. John, Bob Seger, Ronnie Montrose, Nils Lofgren, and others, providing the backbeat for some of rock's legendary tracks.
In 1972, he co-founded The Rockets, showcasing his songwriting skills. He served as drummer and lead vocalist until 1976.
Bee’s songs propelled the group to national prominence and consistently charted on the pop music charts (“Can’t Sleep,” “Turn Up the Radio,” “Takin’ It Back”).
