    The uploads have gone a bit quiet on YouTube, not a lot of new content. Does he scale back the show while America's Got Talent is on? I'd like to think not, as afaik they moved the filming to NYC for him as he wouldn't fly to LA.

    I didn't think anyone else listened to Howard other than myself and my brother. Been listening for the past 5/6 years, I download the shows to my phone the day after they happen. Subscribe to the youtube channel too, there's nothing that compares to it when it comes to radio or podcasts he is the king. Listening to George Tikkei form last weeks episodes it brilliant and have yesterday show which includes Mike Tyson (who since last time has admitted he's not clean) so should be a great show.
    It's good to know i'm not alone out there.

    Dude tell me about it. I posted here hoping to find other fans :) I don't listen as much now that I'm in college, it's hard to find the time, I'm back logged on the last 3 or 4 shows. Can't wait til AGT is over so we can have Wednesday shows back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭davkel


    I'll listen to as many shows as he's willing to do, It probably takes me a week on and off to get through whatever he's done during the week. I'm sitting in work right now and have it on i the background. I will be happy when AGT's over, he did nearly lose me last year when every show was about AGT and a dog that can throw frisbee's or something called an earth harp.
    I think i only started listening because I was looking for some new podcasts a few years ago and ever since then i was hooked, then got my bro hooked, and now it's one of the first things i say to him.

    Likewise. There was a GREAT channel on YouTube, Todd packer, that had compilations of characters on the show, eg 'best of ronnie the limo driver'. It was fantastic, but just got taken down over the last month or so. Sickened.
    Did you listen to the recent show where they went in depth into what's been going on with Robin? God that was great, I thought they never would. I've been waiting 14 months for that!!

    they did really well hiding that, I definitiely couldn't tell she wasn't in the studio the whole time, a few of the guests would give it away, but for the most part it was just like she was there. How she only missed 2 shows while travelling around all those doctors and getting all that treatment is beyond me. I blame that trip to peru and those coffee enemas, and green drink, also fair play to her having to listen to lil'mikeys tribute songs everyday before going for a scan or chemotherapy "I just have to listen to this song about my pendulus breasts and then i'll be right with you"

    Haven't listened to him in about 10 years, but used to listen to him all the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭davkel


    You should start again if you have the time, it's more entertaining that most of the stuff on tv, and everything that RTE/today fm or newstalk put out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,494 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    I thought I was the only one!

    I've been listening since 2003 - I used to download the show from newsgroups in those days. I was a bit obsessive about it for years - not so much since Artie left and the show is rarely live.

    The Todd Packer videos are now private I believe. I managed to rip a load of them from youtube before he made them private.

    I've another guy I listen to who (although Stern is the king), I find more enjoyable. Been listening to him for years & followed him through several station moves.

    Similiar format, but better spirited.

    sounds mysterious.

    Nah - KZOK Danny Bonaduce former child star, former crack addict, former thief, former homeless person etc etc. Great show.

    I've heard of him alright, if you could point me in the direction to download I'll give it a listen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,093 ✭✭✭OU812


    There's individual podcasts on www.kzok.com, but I subscribe through itunes

    I used to listen to Bonaduce when he was with Adam Carolla. That all ended awkwardly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,093 ✭✭✭OU812


    I used to listen to Bonaduce when he was with Adam Carolla. That all ended awkwardly!

    Gross understatement !!

    He has talked about it on air & says that although he understands Carolla's attitude to him (he was foisted on him), that he was a dick to him most of the time. He acknowledges that he was drinking while on the show & although he was never drunk on air (I think he was at least once), that he was never prepared for the show & never stuck around for production meetings.

    But... CBS gave him his own show & fired Carolla so there must be more to it.

    You should read his book, he tells everything. up to 2001. Actually having checked that, I think it's out of print, he's been talking on air about updating it, which would cover the Carolla show, his previous partner before that, ended badly again (I'm seeing a pattern), he ended up suing her & the show's producers for libel when they talked about him while he was in rehab, she ended up in jail for spousal battery, he's not allowed mention her name or the station.

    I find him interesting because he's literally done it all & come through the other side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,494 ✭✭✭lee_baby_simms


    He's an entertaining character alright. Must check out the book.

    He had a reality show years ago. Breaking Bonaduce. I take it you saw that. Great stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,093 ✭✭✭OU812


    Yeah, saw it. He's said he doesn't remember about half of it as he was drinking heavily at the time & it's painful to watch.

    He seems to have found his grounding now with the new wife, he's three years sober & five years clean.

    Anyone listen to Artie's current radio show? I'd love for him to make a return to Stern before the deal runs out with Sirius. He's one of the few people who ever brought pure tears to my eyes through joy and laughter. The things this guy would come out with, even Stern would be shocked at times. :pac:

    Anyone listen to Artie's current radio show? :pac:
    Yea , listen to him a few times .Show changed slightly since Nick left , He has a few funny comedians on interviewing them and sharing stories. I'd say he'll eventually make a guest appearance on the Stern show. Stern show hasn't been the same since Artie left and now that Howard does fewer shows , I turn to Arties show or O&A with Jim Norton .

    Folks when is Stern actually on the air? When do the broadcast honour live in the states?
    I find the whole H100 thing confusing. Can you listen live for free? Or where can you subscribe to podcast? Is it available free anywhere (bar some of the big interviews on YouTube)
    Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 62 ✭✭davkel


    Artie was the first person to visit robin in hospital so there's stilla relationship there, it would be great to get him back, he's served his time so to speak.

    Artie Lange has released his second book Crash and Burn this month chronicling his heroin addiction and suicide attempt in January 2010. He spoke on an LA morning tv show last week and said that Howard through baba booey turned down his agent's request for an interview. Artie says they're still good friends but admitted they don't talk as much anymore.

    I think this is a clear sign that we'll never see Artie and Howard in a radio studio again. I was hoping that they might make a move on taking Art back next year as his deal with direct tv runs out in 2014.

    That's sad to hear. Can't believe they wouldn't have him on for an interview. I always thought he'd return to the show to work at some stage, even on a semi-regular/cameo sort of basis like George Takei.

    I've been watching youclips of Howard Stern for a couple of months now. Pure gold, especially the early days with Artie and KC. I don't think Robin contributes anything really except her annoying laugh and surprised she has survived on the show this length of time. It would have been great if an Irish station picked up their show, it would have change to the muck we've had to endure.

    When Today FM (nearly positive) were launching, the plan was to have the show over the lunchtime period but it fell through.

    I was at a press screening of his movie & they had a live interview session with him (which went out on air in the US as it was in the middle of his show & one thing Howard loves talking about is Howard). He mentioned that he was in advanced talks with "The new station".

    There was a time when I loved Howard Stern. I moved to the states and actually got Sirius XM. I always put Stern over anyone else but he's gone downhill fast. I was listening to Opie and Anthony more often than not but at times they can get very repetitive...

    Now he's barely on too...he takes so many days off. I got rid of Sirius XM. The music was great but meh
