One thing Howard Stern understands about radio is that it is a macho medium. It’s a man’s world. My friend Teresa Strasser, who used to co-host the Adam Carolla Show on 97.1, pointed out to me that a woman DJ doesn’t stand a chance in drive time. It’s cultural, but it’s also aural—the timbre of a woman’s voice is difficult for people to listen to for four or five hours at a time. A quick glance of who’s who in radio bears that out—Rush, Howard, Sean Hannity. With one exception—Laura Ingraham, the Top Fifteen radio talk show hosts are men.
