First published 1993
Howard Stern opens up about his journey as America's most controversial radio personality. The self-proclaimed shock jock examines his career in broadcasting while offering candid opinions on political figures and current events. Stern discusses his battles with network executives and federal regulators who tried to silence his provocative on-air style. He reveals behind-the-scenes stories from the entertainment industry and explains how he built his massive audience by breaking every rule of traditional radio. The book captures Stern's unfiltered commentary on the media landscape and his role as a cultural lightning rod. At its heart, this is the story of a broadcaster who refused to conform and the price he paid for speaking his mind on the airwaves.
