From the Publisher
“In a time when social media ‘conversations’ amount to 280 characters or memes, it’s reassuring to see that Joe is reminding all of us that there’s no innovation that can take the place of a meaningful, person-to-person conversation. He reminds us that curiosity, asking thoughtful questions, and being a great listener opens all of us to learning more and making meaningful connections.”

“ Good Listen takes us on a jaunty adventure down the central path by which humans connect with each other—conversation—with an expert talker as our guide. Pardavila’s book is a ‘good read’ for anyone who wants to both smile and learn along the way.”

“I’ve worked in the audio space from the days when it was only radio to today, when audio is everywhere and hotter than ever in these new smart times. This book shows why audio still matters, and despite the changes that have happened within radio, there is still an enthusiasm for the sound of sound. Joe shares his journey from the kid in college to today where he is recognized for what he was involved in creating and what his contributions have become. I’m honored to have been able to work with him and see firsthand the magic that he created.”
