Michelle Santosuosso
Before podcasts, before playlists—radio was power. And Michelle Santosuosso was in the room where it all happened.
Radio Phoenix is part music industry memoir, part cultural autopsy, and part war story. From her start as a teenage DJ to becoming a pioneering executive, Santosuosso stood toe-to-toe with hip-hop legends like Eazy-E, corporate giants like iHeartMedia, and dangerous players like Suge Knight.
With unfiltered, high-stakes stories, she pulls back the curtain on how radio was systematically dismantled—from grassroots innovation to corporate takeover. Santosuosso exposes how deregulation, greed, and gatekeeping decimated creative spaces—and how she survived it all.
This book is more than nostalgia. It’s a frontline account of the fight for integrity in the music business—and a call to decode the system, defend the artist, and reclaim the power of local radio, real community, and the spaces that once made music culture thrive—far beyond the algorithm.
