From Imus to Stern: Behind the Mic with Al Rosenberg
During the Summer of 2021, Al Rosenberg came on Reckless Airwaves Radio to share candid, behind-the-scenes stories from his time working with Don Imus and Howard Stern. The episode covers his early days at NBC, the wild, unscripted chaos of the Channel 9 Stern show, and vivid studio anecdotes — from outrageous skits to celebrity guests.
Topics include Imus’s post-rehab changes, his relationship with staff, Howard Stern’s rise and creative drive, the friction and rivalry between the two hosts, and the famous Blackface/controversial bits that would be unacceptable today. Rosenberg also discusses cancel culture, radio’s evolution, and the loss of the medium’s golden era.
