It Takes a Village

The Howard Stern show has been on a break during the last week, as Howard has just finished his grueling tour to promote his new book “Howard Stern Comes Again”.  Congratulations to Howard, as it managed to become a New York Times bestseller even though one individual estimated that the text consists of 84% transcripts of old interviews and only 16% original content.

During the downtime, the staffers are hopefully getting a chance to recharge.  Gary Dell’Abate mentioned earlier this year that they have 65-70 people working to deliver radio gold to subscribers three days a week.  While some of the people are well-known, others work clandestinely behind the scenes (who knows what type of hijinks they may be up to while the show is on break).

Here's a list of the show employees and contributors that I found, which should help the millions of Stern show fans get a better chance to learn about some of these folks.  Howard is probably wondering if one of them may be the mole who has been leaking information to Stuttering John Melendez.

1. Howard Stern
2. Robin Quivers
3. Fred Norris
4. Gary Dell’Abate.  Gary was at the Bottlerock festival in California again this week.  He posed for a picture with his wife - maybe he was also able to meet up with some of his other West Coast friends while he was out there.

13. Richard Christy (no relation to Howard's son-in-law Colin Christy)
