GOOD TALK, DAD The Birds and the Bees and Other Conversations We Forgot to Have

Reading alternate segments filled with understated humor, two engaging broadcast celebrities deliver well-written, wry accounts of their lives together as father and son. The younger Geist, Willie, the smooth and secure “Morning Joe” cohost, performs his part of the book flawlessly as he shares his youthful adventures, his lifelong appreciation of his father, and some fascinating stories about his current family life and television career. The elder Geist, Bill, an equally funny writer, gives a performance that is just as spontaneous and genuine in his sections of the book. His delivery will remind many of the late Andy Rooney. The audio is a satisfying, entertaining look at a great father-son connection, and a refreshing reminder that TV stars can be warm and generous human beings.
