San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Disc Jockey is a behind-the-mic memoir of a career spent inside the fast-moving, competitive, and culture-shaping world of American music radio.From small-market beginnings to the powerhouse studios of San Francisco’s legendary KFRC, Don Sainte-Johnn chronicles the path of a working broadcaster navigating shifting formats, evolving technology, and the relentless pressure to stay relevant on the air. Along the way, the book captures the rhythm of daily radio life-tight playlists, live remotes, breaking promotions, and the personalities who shaped an era when DJs were trusted companions and tastemakers.More than a nostalgia piece, this memoir explores radio as a business, a craft, and a calling. It reflects on mentorship, rivalry, racial barriers, reinvention, and what it meant to build a voice and a reputation in an industry that rarely slowed down. The story spans AM and FM radio’s most influential decades, revealing how stations connected communities long before digital media transformed listening habits.Written with clarity, humor, and insider detail, San Francisco’s Last Top 40 Disc Jockey offers an intimate look at broadcasting’s golden years-and the people who lived them from behind the microphone.
