The Fall of a Radio Icon | Episode 37

Welcome to another fiery episode of Jamingo Rants. In today’s episode titled "The Fall of a Radio Icon," host John Jamingo delivers a passionate and unfiltered eulogy on his disillusionment with Howard Stern.

Jamingo takes us on a journey from his early days as a Stern superfan, idolizing the boundary-pushing antics and candid style of Stern, to the present-day where he feels Stern has betrayed his roots. Stern's transition from shock jock to a mainstream celebrity seems, to Jamingo, like a betrayal of what once made him great.

This episode dives deep into the transformations and decisions that have led Jamingo to declare Stern "dead" to him, culminating in Stern's controversial interview with Joe Biden, which was the final straw for our passionate host.
