J.C. Corcoran turned radio on its head when he arrived in St. Louis in 1984. His irreverent morning show on KSHE-FM revved up airwaves and forged a new path in drive-time entertainment. In "Twenty Years of J.C.", top-rated St. Louis radio host J.C. Corcoran takes readers on an electrifying ride through the underworld of St. Louis radio. This tough, witty memoir is as entertaining and controversial as J.C. Corcoran himself. Corcoran takes on the FCC, censorship and conservative media ownership. He also provides lots of laughs with entertaining Top Ten lists, an update of the "National Jerk Test" and a Playboy-style interview with himself.

What an entertaining read!!,
By bybybaby "MS" (Wood River, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 20 Years of J.C.: The Man, the Legend, the Lawsuit (Paperback)
This book begins about where the first book left off but then picks up more info left out of the first book. This book is hilarious, informative, entertaining and overall enjoyable if you are a J.C. fan or a St. Louis area resident. This guy's radio show or showgram as it is known should be carried nationally although I like the local flavor. Really a good read.
