I struggled with the first third of this book. In the first third, the text is dense and the graphics aren't particularly engaging which made me question the graphic-style for this narrative. Everything picked up in the last two-thirds or so. I became more interested in most of the content and there was more engaging imagery. I think I would have learned more or felt more engaged if the graphics better supported what was being communicated in the dialogue, instead of having panels that were mostly people talking. I regularly listen to almost all of the radio shows featured in the book, so it was nice to learn more about them. Overall, I enjoyed the content but I'm not sold on the format.
