If you have ever flipped on one of the CBS evening news or
Sunday morning broadcasts over the last 25 years, then you most likely have
watched a segment reported by Bill Geist. Today, his son Willie follows in his
dad’s footsteps reporting the news on NBC. Their book,
Good Talk, Dad, is a mostly humorous collection of stories in which
they retell the tales of the big events in their lives from sports to children
to military service. While not always a laugh out loud experience,
Good Talk, Dad nevertheless offers a peek
into the lives of the Geist men in a manner that reflects how Bill Geist has
been reporting the news over his long career: with humor whenever possible but
also with honesty and integrity.
I listened to this book on audio, read by the authors, and would recommend it to
those who want to hear (or read) something light and easy. Even those who are
unfamiliar with the Geists will be able to appreciate the stories they share as
they discuss life events that we can all relate to.
