Postgraduate
What do you do when you hate your job, your wife just left you, and you’re amid a crushing mid-life crisis? Recreate your college radio station on the Internet, of course. Or at least, that’s what Danny thought. Now he’s finding it’s not so easy to go home again. In addition to the stress of speaking at a beloved professor’s retirement ceremony, he must juggle rivalries and romances from the past, along with modern complications, as he tries desperately to keep the wheels from falling off. For Danny, the only way forward is to go back in time. He uses the music of his youth as the liner notes to his finest hours, his most heartbreaking moments, and quite possibly, the road map of his future.
This novel has its roots in Nick Hornby, Jonathan Tropper, and Matthew Norman, with dynamic dialogue, a touching and humorous narrative, and a borderline obsession with '80s and '90s college rock. Postgraduate is a literary cocktail of High Fidelity, Plan B, with a hint of We're All Damaged.

Ian Shane’s Postgraduate is an enthralling tribute to college radio and Nick Hornby.
The story begins with fortysomething Danny Jackson learning how to navigate a life he didn’t envision for himself when he was in college. He hates his job and is now freshly divorced. His heart has always been in radio, and when one of his new neighbors suggests he start an internet radio station, Danny goes on a mission that forces him to face his past and rediscover himself. Postgraduate is as much a novel as it is a playlist of Danny’s journey.
We experience this journey through parallel narratives in the present and in the early 1990s while Danny was in college. We get to experience how Danny manages to bring his internet radio station (a revival of his beloved college radio station) to life in tandem with his glory days at the station with his friend and his girlfriend—the girl that got away. If you were involved in college radio, this novel will feel eerily familiar. Even if you’re not, Ian Shane has created a realistic and relatable cast of characters that you’ll be thoroughly invested in seeing how their story plays out as the past and present narratives converge.
Postgraduate is a story of friendship, nostalgia, and 90s music that you won’t be able to put down.

I remember the alternative music era of the early 1990s so vividly, and it was fun taking this trip back to that time.

Interesting memoir of a recently divorced man that instead of falling apart decides to create an internet radio show, go back to get his Master's degree and reestablish friendships. More people should go for it and do what they are good at and enjoy doing.

We meet Danny Jackson on one of the worst days of his life -- the day his marriage legally ended (it was over long before). Danny's quick to assure us that he's had worse days, and not just because he doth protest too much (no matter what it looks like at the moment). He's 44, about to be kicked out of his house, in a job he hates (many reasons are bigger than being forced to use Comic Sans, as bad as that is) and really has no idea what the rest of the year will bring -- much less anything after that.
One of the many accommodations Danny made to get along with his wife was to trim his 4,000+ CD collection down to 150, and now that he finds himself without a real home or family and a strong need to fill up his time so he can't dwell on that he starts rebuilding that collection -- not with current music, either. But with the songs and albums that defined him at that age where music is so important to define, mold and express one's identity -- college. Before long, Danny's investing some real money in stereo equipment as well as CDs. At one point a neighbor/friend from the apartment building says something about Danny having enough of both to start his own radio station.
This idea sparks something within Danny and he sets to do just that -- not a real radio station (or even a pirate station), but an Internet radio station modeled on the one he learned all about Radio on in college, "The L." While putting in the work necessary to launch an Internet station, Danny starts dreaming and scheming. I was honestly a little surprised to see how much work was involved, but after reading this I realize that's just because I know so little about radio (even online) and hadn't given it any real thought before.
He doesn't just want to launch this passion project, he'd like to bury the hatchet with a bunch of people from his college days -- and what better way to do both together than by launching the station in their old studio while they're all returning to say goodbye to a mentor as he prepares to retire. Danny's already speaking for the event, so that part will be easy. He trusts the others will be there, too -- getting them to go along with his plans will be the trick.
Danny doesn't know what kind of audience his online version of "The L" is going to have, but he figures there's some audience -- he'd listen to the kind of station he'll be launching, why wouldn't others his age? So kicks off (and then some) this story of friendship, lost loves, abandoned dreams, the love of music, and the attempt to recapture what we've lost (through fault of our own, or not). While we follow Danny's rebuilding in 2017, we also get (in alternating chapters) the story of how the magic was assembled back in the day, and how it primarily fell to pieces (Danny had a significant roll in that, it turns out).
Danny's glory days really were that (until they weren't) and it was a lot of fun reading about them -- especially when Sam's on the scene. His 44th year wasn't that great for him (it did improve from that inauspicious start), but it was almost as much fun to read, especially when Sam's on the scene. Sam's the one who got away from Danny, the love of his life, etc. She's close to idealized, but Shane's careful not to let Danny do that to her (more than anyone would in memory).
The focus of the novel is (rightly) those two, but Danny's friendships with Marty -- the Program Director of the L -- and Tom are easily as important. The novel could've worked almost as well with the Danny/Tom relationship as the center instead of Danny/Sam. Tom was Danny's high school friend who came to college with him and developed a radio show with him, both planning to keep doing radio together after college. One of my few problems I have is that I think we needed a bit more of Tom early on. I know he's Danny's partner, and the emotions both have toward each other (in the 90's and 2017) indicate that, but he always seems to be playing second fiddle to Sam or Marty. Marty's sort of the older brother figure to Sam, Danny and Tom -- down for a good time as well as advice, and is just cool to read.
Mindy, Marty's co-host, is a character I could've used a little more of, too -- just because I really liked her. The narrative nowhere needs more of her, but I just liked her and wanted more. The professor, Dr. Black, they assemble to honor is a perfect mentor figure. Even Angela, the adulterous ex- that derailed Danny's career, is a pretty well-designed and used character -- but she's about the only one in the book I don't want to see more of.
I don't mean this next sentence as a negative, no matter what it sounds like. There are few narrative surprises for the reader -- by a certain point, you know pretty much how each storyline is going to go. This doesn't mean that there aren't surprises (pleasant and otherwise) for the reader, but it's not that kind of story. You may not know exactly where Plot X will land, but you'll know the ZIP Code for it early on. And that's fine -- the pleasure's in the journey, and Danny ending up where you know he will is just a satisfying confirmation.
If you like Danny, you'll like this book. I'm not sure why you wouldn't like Danny, but I have to admit it's possible. I think we clicked almost instantly, I was definitely on board in the first couple of pages. It's possible you may not like Danny as a person, but would like his voice (well, Shane's voice), I suppose. That should carry you through, too.
On his website, Shane talks about the impact Aaron Sorkin has on his writing -- when you get to passages like this, it's pretty obvious:
You know how maybe the best thing about Zach Braff's Garden State was that killer soundtrack? That's almost the case here. Shane has assembled a great playlist on Spotify to go with the novel -- stuff that Danny refers to in the book, and stuff he'd listen to. I've been introduced to a lot of music that I probably should know through it. Most of what I've written in the last week (and some of what I've read) has had it as a soundtrack, and that'll likely hold true for a while longer. I'm embarrassed to admit how little of it I knew going in -- Danny, Tom and especially Marty would be ashamed that someone who went to college in about the same time as they did wouldn't know this stuff. Maybe I should've listened to more college radio. Unlike, Garden State, Postgraduate can be read without it (and without knowing the music), but this is a great touch. If for no other reason than there's going to be a couple of songs you're going to be curious about after reading about them, this is a great resource.
How much did I like the book? Despite being given a copy (which I'm very grateful for), I bought one. I might give a few away. Danny feels like an old friend, the world is comfortable and relaxing to be in (I should stress about 87.3 percent of what I know about radio comes from this book, so it's not that). This belongs in the same discussion with the best of Hornby and Tropper -- it's exactly the kind of thing I hope to read when I'm not reading a "genre" novel (the problems with that clause deserve their own post, but you all know what I mean). There's an eleven year gap between Shane's first two novels, after reading this you can only hope that his third will arrive much sooner. While I wait for whatever's next, you should go read Postgraduate. You'll feel better than James Brown if you do.

". . . you did a bad, bad thing.”
“Then why are you helping me?”
“Because that’s what friends do. Someone needs to stand next to you when the world falls down around your ankles, and the other starting players seem to be leaving you one by one. You’re still my boy, but I question your decision-making skills.”

On his website, Shane talks about the impact Aaron Sorkin has on his writing -- when you get to passages like this, it's pretty obvious:
“Why didn’t you tell us?”I can't help but hear that last line in a Richard Schiff voice. But the book doesn't only read like the work of a Sorkin-devotee. It has the general feel of Hornby, Tropper, Norman, Weiner, Russo (in his lighter moments), Perrotta, etc. The writing is engaging, catchy, welcoming. Shane writes in a way that you like reading his prose -- no matter what's happening. It's pleasant and charming with moments of not-quite-brilliance, but close enough. Unlike Sorkin, Shane's style doesn't draw attention to itself, if anything, it deflects it. It's not flashy, but it's good. I could've easily read another 400 pages of these people without breaking a sweat.
“I didn’t think you’d find out.”
“Really?”
“Did you have any idea before today?”
“None.”
"Then it’s a mystery to me as to why I’d think that."

This book had a profound impact on me. The emotions displayed in this book felt so real, like the author experienced them at some point. The feeling of getting older and watching the world pass you by is common, but this book takes it a step further as it shows a man determined to fight back and make the transition to middle age a little easier.
One emotion that stuck out to me while reading this book is regret. I’ve read very few books that showcase regret from a male point of view without coming off as sexist. In one particular sequence the main character makes a connection between his failed college romance and the issues he tolerated in later relationships because of it. I’m trying not to be too specific so that you can read it. But it felt real.
The dialogue and writing style flows well, is often witty, and respects the intelligence of the reader by moving forward quickly. The flashbacks to the main character being in college were dripping with nostalgia, but the kind. This isn’t one of those books written by someone pining for yesterday so much he yells at clouds, it’s written by someone that woke up and accepted that life had changed but that didn’t mean it had to be for the worst.
To sum it up, this book has everything I could hope for. It’s a reminder of how the friendships of are youth are the ones that truly matter, in spite of how complicated they can be.

Good Radio
Danny burned almost every bridge of his youth. When he has to go back to honor his favorite professor, will he be able to reconstruct any of them. It’s an interesting story and familiar to a lot of us who are of a certain age. Well-constructed, solid writing, and great characters. Felt like a Tropper story and that’s a good thing for me.

With a huge nod to the likes of Nick Hornby, Postgraduate is an easy to read, humorous yet gripping story of reflection that focuses on friendships, relationships and career choices, all soundtracked to some superlative, alternative rock music from the 90s. Switching between the past and present, there's two stories being told by the main protagonist, Danny Jackson, from two different points of his life. The first being his college years in his early 20s that centres around his time at the radio station, the second being the immediate post-divorce, reflective period in his mid-40s, and both stories are equally engaging.
Danny isn't your quintessential hero and is a flawed character in many ways, but you can't help but empathise and root for him in his quest to find his true calling and correct the wrongs of his past.
I found the nostalgic aspect of the book extremely relatable, especially from a time when you’re young and free and life revolved around friends and that unforgettable first love. It really took me back in time. The dialogue in the story is witty and snappy, and I was made to feel like part of the conversation and the gang in many instances.
Postgraduate is a highly recommended read with an enthralling and relatable storyline that is exceptionally well written and is calling out to be made into a film.

Ian Shane's writing in Postgraduate captures the drama, friendships, and struggles of young adults in college still finding themselves, and of the middle-aged struggling with discovering who they've become is not who they set out to be. The loss of friends, family, and relationships is felt throughout.
Each chapter is titled after a song in the playlist of the life of the main character, Danny, and shows Shane's own love of the music from his college years. Danny's recover from a divorce leads to a mid-life crisis; as he rebuilds his music collection he decides to start an internet radio station built on the bones of his old college radio station. A chance call from an old professor gives Danny the chance to recover a lost love, attempt to mend old friendships, and mend himself in the process.
Within Postgraduate, I like how the story flows from Danny's middle-age life, back to his college years telling the story of what started him on his path, and back to Danny's current life as he must face the music and start all over.

I’m really keen on reading books about a male middle age crisis. In this aspect, Postgraduate is a nice novel, very similar to High Fidelity of Nick Hornby and is perfect for reading in a public transport. I put only 3 stars because the plot is a little bit too predictable, but in general the book is worth money and time I spent on it.

Shane’s hits keep on coming. Safe from ever being considered a One Hit Wonder, Ian Shane delivers a music and radio inspired follow-up to Radio Radio. Outdoing himself with a more complex and more mature story, while still maintaining the satisfying musical themes of his debut novel on top of the many themes of love, friendship, loss, and reinventing oneself in the face of defeat.

Wow! I felt like I was back in college (in the 90s) with the big friend group. All the drama, excitement and sadness you'd expect.
Shane writes a story that's raw and real. I felt like I was a part of the story, wondering what was going to happen next! I couldn't put it down!

Great read. Highly recommended
I bought this book less than 24 hours ago and could not put it down. The dialogue makes you feel like you're part of book and the music references remind those of us in our mid 40s of the early 90s. Well worth the time.

Nostalgia Read
As a former college radio dj, this hit home big time. Highly enjoyable and sent me immediately to Spotify to make a playlist of all the great music. Highly recommended for music lovers, divorcees, and people who make mistakes.

A soundtrack to letting go
Teaching, learning, failing, graduating and trying to live. Music is life in this one. Or, more of, life is music? Threw my phone to the floor a couple of times overwhelmed with emotions. I do not think I can thank the author enough for "Postgraduate".

Very entertaining coming-of-middle-age story, enjoyed it.

Loved the book! You quickly empathize with Danny. I love seeing him reminisce/relive his college days, reviewing his memories, choices and mistakes. Bonus, if you love music!
