by Howard Stern
First published 1995
Howard Stern shifts his focus from personal family stories to his radio show family in this second memoir. He gives readers an inside look at his syndicated radio program crew, the people his listeners hear but rarely learn about. Stern appears in drag photos that will surprise his audience. He delivers his sharpest writing when evaluating celebrity guests who visit his show, launching attacks on the Kennedy family, and explaining his relationship with computer technology. His wife Allison gets significant attention, particularly in a hilarious account of her 40th birthday celebration where Stern managed to impress both her and what he calls "her yenta friends." The book serves dedicated fans who want deeper knowledge of the radio personalities they hear daily.
