Rich Gardner from Poptoptunes.com joins The Ray Stevens Show to discusses his book, which is a compilation of nearly 1,800 WLS Music Radio surveys spanning from 1960 to 1990. Gardner describes the book as a "time machine," offering a visual history through facsimiles of original radio surveys that often featured DJ photos, lyrics, and local advertisements. He and Scott Childers discuss the nostalgia of collecting these surveys from record stores in the pre-internet era and how modern technology finally allowed him to scan and preserve his 50-year collection into a single volume.
