Welcome to Litsy!

Really great so far! Had to skip over Jerry Seinfeld ... very arrogant. This is one of the 2 I am currently reading.

I borrowed this book from a friend after listening to Conan O‘Brien interview Howard Stern on his podcast. They had a thoughtful conversation about their mental health disorders and the profound impact of counseling on Stern‘s life. While I didn‘t read every interview, I read enough to gain an appreciation for Stern‘s skilled interviews.

I have never listened to Howard Stern‘s programme and really enjoyed most of the interviews he has compiled into this collection. Also enjoyed the bonus of his introductions to each of them with a more recent perspective on the discussions than what he may have felt at the time they were done. Not all of them work - but there was a lot of fascinating tidbits throughout.

Of course when I‘m trying to limit books I bring in, my mom brings me this! 😭😂 she found it in a bargain bin because it had a small tear on the spine of the dust jacket!
Sometimes interview books are hit or miss for me but so is Howard Stern so probably for the best to get it for $1 😅

I wish Stern has written a new book from his new perspective. This recycled interviews book seemed like a cash grab once the intros were over.

I have never been a big fan of the more juvenile aspects of his show. But over the years he has built a reputation as being one of the best interviewers, if not the best. Of this I agree. This is a collection of those interviews with original lead ins. Worth a read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ After years of therapy, Stern, realizing that he doesn‘t need to be so outlandish & gross, shifts his interview style. He‘s still shocking, but more thoughtful & respectful. While some of these interviews are compelling, 500+ pages of transcripts & short introductions is daunting. I don‘t listen to his show, but I think this book might bore avid listeners out of their skulls. I wish he‘d pen a full-on memoir. I‘d read the heck out of that!

The sweetest, most empathetic and thoughtful, super intelligent, and devastatingly handsome little blondie has a birthday today. Can‘t believe my first baby is 7!! 😭

We spent the morning at the park, will go out to dinner tonight, and have his party tomorrow. Can‘t wait to celebrate with family and friends!

Gus has something to say about the book my husband is reading.

Pre-Order came in! Hubby loves Howard Stern and has followed him from the very beginning. This book actually sounds good.
