SYRACUSE, NY (607NewsNow) — Glenn Gomez Adams, host of Gomez & Friends on TK99 out of Syracuse, has released his first book, You’re Caller Number 7, Please Try Again.

Having been involved in radio in Central New York for over 40 years, Adams has plenty of stories to tell and divulges behind the scenes details from prank calls to introducing Billy Joel at the Carrier Dome.

Adams started writing the book around the time the COVID-19 pandemic hit and started with writing down little stories and memories from his time in radio. Published on October 20th of this year, the here and there style of writing turned longer stories, some of which he was reminded of by his own listeners.

“I noticed there were a handful of funny stories that happened on-air or with coworkers or people I had met throughout my career that I would tell people frequently, so I started the book by writing those down. After I announced that I was writing a book, I had listeners call in and say things like ‘Hey, what about the time you got bit by a three-legged dog?’, which is a true story that made it in the book by the way, and other things that I had forgotten about over the years,” says Adams.

In the coming months, Gomez will have book signings at the Barnes & Noble in Clay on January 10th, 2026, one at Ralph’s Shoe Repair in Syracuse, one at a Syracuse Crunch Hockey Game, and more which can be found on Gomez Adam’s Facebook page here.

“Working radio, it’s easy to kind of get caught up in the grind and sometimes take the job for granted. Writing this book gave me a chance to sit back and reflect on all of the memories I’ve made and laughs I’ve had and how amazing it is to meet so many great people and be able to tell the stories in the book.”
