There have been books written by Howard Stern and by those who are (or were) part of his extraordinarily successful radio program, The Howard Stern Show. But never before has there been a book built almost entirely around exclusive, never-before-published quotes from former show members, guests, celebrities, and longtime admirers – tracing its evolution from WNBC to K-Rock, syndication, and ultimately SiriusXM. That is precisely what 'The Great American Nightmare: An Oral History of the Howard Stern Show' delivers. Revolutionizing talk radio and eventually earning the title "King of All Media," Howard Stern became one of the most influential and controversial figures in broadcasting history. 'The Great American Nightmare' explores how The Howard Stern Show grew from a New York radio program into a cultural phenomenon – while examining its evolution, memorable characters and broadcasts, and the controversies that repeatedly put Stern in hot water with the FCC, groups, and individuals. Presented as an oral history, 'The Great American Nightmare' is a documentary in book form – allowing listeners, guests, colleagues, and admirers to tell the story in their own words. Whether you discovered Stern during the terrestrial radio years, followed him into SiriusXM, or simply have a favorite era, the book offers a chance to revisit the people and moments that made The Howard Stern Show one of the most unique and imitated radio programs of all time. Howard Stern never tells this story. The people who were there do.©2026 Greg Prato Writer, Corp. (P)2026 Greg Prato Writer, Corp. Entertainment & Performing Arts Film & TV History & Criticism
