Synopsis

From one of radio's former loudest, orneriest, most beloved, and highest-rated sports radio personalities, a bold and hilarious memoir of sports, manhood, and what it is to be a fan.

In 1991, fresh from college, Craig Carton drove a crappy 1980 Buick to Buffalo, New York, to interview for a job at WGR radio. The station manager who hired him was the first to recognize his considerable on-air talent, and helped start what has become a legendary radio career. Often compared to Howard Stern, Carton has hosted a series of highly rated shows, and in 2007 he joined WFAN, where he and Boomer Esiason hosted an eponymous show every morning for four hours out of a studio in New York City.

In this debut book, Carton invites the reader to join him as he recounts tales from his suburban youth, defends his long-held love affair with the New York Jets, reminisces about the shenanigans of some of the highest paid and most celebrated athletes playing today, and reflects on his work as one of radio’s craftiest, most hilarious personalities ever to get behind the microphone.

Goodreads review by Dawn on January 06, 2019

Ooof, this was difficult to read in light of recent events. Especially the part where he says his greatest fear is going to jail. I know, he's an adult and he made the decision to break the law, but I liked him on 101.5 and I feel kind of bad for him. He seems to have a gambling addiction, which led......more

Goodreads review by Robin on July 31, 2013

Craig Carton only gets at most 15 minutes a day to make an impression on me. He is the co-host of the morning show that I listen to on my way to work. I can safely say that I enjoy those 15 minutes because of him. When I heard on the radio that he was coming out with a book I knew I had to get it. N......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca on December 19, 2013

Carton is a talk radio host who used to be on NJ101.5, and is now one WFAN in NYC with Boomer Esiason. I know him from 101.5. He talks a little about his childhood, and then how he got into radio, starting out broadcasting at a station that was in an old Victorian house, and how he moved on to more......more

Goodreads review by Ian on May 14, 2018

A funny, engaging, quick read with some R-rated tales from his rise through the radio ranks that he probably couldn't have said when he was on WFAN. The audiobook version is read by Carton, who narrates as if he was live on the radio or doing a podcast, in a fresh, engaging style. Given the recent c......more

Goodreads review by Michael on June 16, 2013

I vaguely remember Craig Carton during his early 90's stint on Cleveland's WWWE, now WTAM. Loudmouth was a typical account of life as a radio personality but with interesting humor and stories to fill in between stories of bad radio station managers and co-workers.......more
