Steve Somers was here—and perhaps you, there—in WFAN's earliest days, an anxious sports media journeyman who had accepted a minimum-paygrade contract and the nocturnal, six-hour time slot that came with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt was here, overnight and under the covers, that he made a name for himself as Captain Midnight, the steadfast on-air companion to New York City’s finest: its truck drivers, bartenders, students, partygoers, and insomniacs; butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers; those looking for after-dark quiet from noisy days; and, of course, those seeking the precious company that radio, being intimate and personal, can give.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Somers has been called the soul of WFAN, it was those listeners and callers that became the soul of his shows: Jerome from Manhattan, Short Al from Brooklyn, Doris from Rego Park, and Jerry from Queens (who knew a thing or two about making a show about nothing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  Me Here, You There,  Somers reflects on life as a Schmoozer from San Francisco with a dream-come-true of working the concrete jungle. From a childhood calling play-by-play into a lightbulb he pretended was a microphone, to three decades in the WFAN studios, Somers details the luck, leaps of faith, and memorable characters that, for better and for worse, shaped his improbable career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy turns wry and enchanting, Somers has authored a must-read for die-hard New York sports fans and anyone who appreciates a good story\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52841601958104,"sku":"YSL73535","price":9.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/81x7TxlY83L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793336694","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0fp42ydbm","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
