Awake with Drake: Conversations with a Radio Institution

Join author Perry Allen Wood as he turns the tables on Bill Drake and provides a guided tour through the veteran radio host's life. From his collegiate days hobnobbing with Harrison Ford to his long stint on South Carolina airwaves, Drake has seen trends come and go. He spun music from the polka to the British Invasion, covered sports from the Green Bay Packers to the Gamecocks and perfected what he calls "relationship radio." And for 29 years, he was the voice of WSPA-AM, the oldest radio station in South Carolina.
